DPTV is using Carbon Coder to automatically convert its edited and ingested video files for on-air playout through an Omneon server. Because of their success with Carbon Coder, the production staff plans to use it for their Web streaming and VOD projects, and for PAL/ NTSC conversion.

"We were looking for a fast and cost-effective solution to automatic transcoding between post-production and our on-air server," said Helge Blucher, Vice President of Engineering and Technology at Detroit Public Television. "Carbon Coder has performed extremely well and we are now using it for other media transcoding applications as well. This is a great product and the support from Rhozet has been excellent."

"We're very pleased DPTV chose Carbon Coder," said David Trescot, CEO of Rhozet. "Carbon Coder is an efficient and effective transcoding solution that fits the budget of a public television station without sacrificing functionality."

Carbon Coder can run as a stand-alone application or as part of a multi-node, fully-automated rendering farm.
