AAM found Carbon Coder's enhanced productivity features, scalable design, as well as its cost-effective price played an important role in the company's decision to adopt Carbon Coder for its VOD and Electronic Sell-Through services. At AAM, Carbon Coders are being used in a multi-node "farm" configuration to automate and speed up the transcoding process.

"Rhozet addressed the main weakness in the workflow -- transcoding speed," said Daniel Payne, digital content mastering manager at Arts Alliance Media. "With Carbon Coder, we've been able to increase our production by 50 to 60 percent. And as our production load increases, the Carbon farm easily scales to meet the demand. Carbon Coder is a valuable asset in our production suite."

"It's no surprise that AAM's concerns centered on workflow, scalability and cost," said David Trescot, CEO of Rhozet. "These are major considerations in the market that hadn't been addressed adequately until now. We're glad that AAM is able to realize such impressive results in their facility so quickly."

Rhozet Carbon Coder is a universal transcoding application that facilitates the transfer of media between acquisition, editing, playout, archive, web, mobile and more. Carbon Coder can run as a stand-alone application or as part of a multi-node, fully-automated rendering farm. Carbon Coder provides high-performance, scalable and cost-effective transcoding for a broad range of business environments, from specialized studios to enterprise- scale installations.
