Encoding capacity

Each edit suite is connected to the video storage area network. Once the media is ready for encoding, the content is fed via the network to the encoding cluster. This is comprised of a large number of CPUs, which have a variety of encoding software installed.

Owing to the unique design of the encoding cluster, PA SportEV is able to accommodate any encoding product within its framework. The encoding farm is not limited to one operating system and can handle all major modern examples: Helix Mobile Producer, Nextreaming Enterprise Encoder, Cleaner XL and Windows Media Encoder.

PA SportEV has a great deal of experience in delivering multiple formats to multiple destinations, using a variety of methods, and can deliver files in the format requested by the client.

Using this technology, PA SportEV can offer files in any of the following formats, as well as any new formats as they appear on the market:
