Transcoding At Altitude (SatBroadcasting™) Homepage link [SatNews] IFE today requires even higher volumes of audio and video transcoding capabilities... Digital Rapids has announced that Stellar Inflight, the world's longest running in-flight entertainment company, is using the Digital Rapids Transcode Manager automated transcoding software to transform high volumes of video and audio for both new and traditional in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems and viewing platforms. A Transcode Manager Server and multiple Transcode Engines are deployed at each of Stellar Inflight's technical facilities in Sydney, Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. High volumes of source files are transformed by Transcode Manager into multiple outputs in the formats required by varying in-flight entertainment systems. Transcode Manager is also used to transcode content for viewing on portable media players and tablets -- such as the Apple® iPad® -- now available to passengers on select airlines. Established in 1974, Stellar Inflight, part of the Stellar Group of companies, provides in-flight entertainment services for many of the world's leading airlines. In addition, Stellar is in partnership with Sky Victory Technologies in Beijing, which provides in-flight entertainment to many major Chinese airlines. http://www.satnews.com/cgi-bin/story.cgi?number=1187575303 |
