Powered by Rhozet™ technology, ProMedia™ Carbon (formerly Carbon Coder™) is file-based transcoding software that facilitates the conversion of media to a massive array of acquisition, editing, broadcast, Web and mobile formats. ProMedia Carbon can run as a stand-alone application or as part of a multi-node, fully automated rendering farm under the control of Carbon Server or the Harmonic Workflow System (WFS).

Included with ProMedia Carbon is the ability to transcode from virtually any media format to every media standard in use today. Supporting all major formats for SD and HD workflows, ProMedia Carbon is continually updated to accommodate new formats.

As part of the transcode process, ProMedia Carbon handles a wide array of critical operations including SD/HD conversion, PAL/NTSC conversion, logo insertion, color space conversion, color correction, closed captions extraction and more. ProMedia Carbon includes an open API that allows for the creation of custom workflows or third party applications.

Breadth of Format Support - Included with ProMedia Carbon is the ability to transcode from virtually any media format to every media
standard in use today. Supporting all major formats for SD and HD workfl ows, ProMedia Carbon is continually updated to accommodate
new formats.

Intuitive User Interface - ProMedia Carbon’s intuitive interface gives you complete control over every aspect of the transcoding process. The user interface is easy to use and allows you to confi gure the system to convert a single file into any number of target formats, each with a unique set of operations and fi lters applied. For example, you can burn in a logo and timecode
on a review format, while applying special cropping to a mobile format.

Automated Operation - ProMedia Carbon can be run in a fully automated mode with support for batch processing, watch folders, and automatic FTP transfers. ProMedia Carbon also provides intelligent transcoding to increase productivity by easily identifying source formats and intelligently transcoding them to the desired
destination formats automatically.

Scalable Transcoding - For large transcoding tasks, multiple ProMedia Carbon nodes can be confi gured as a transcoding farm, under
the control of the Rhozet Workflow System software. WFS manages job distribution, prioritization, load balancing, FTP transfers, status monitoring and job notification.

XML-based SDK - ProMedia Carbon can be controlled directly via an XML-based SDK provided with the software. Every aspect of the transcoding process can be controlled by the SDK, including source/target destinations, transcoding parameters, filtering, compositing, ad insertion, titling, notifications, etc.

Broadcast
ProMedia Carbon is used to convert from the format provided by the Content Delivery Network to formats
needed within the broadcast facility. Content from the server can be converted directly to a playout format,
or fi rst be converted into an editing format. After editing, the fi nished program is converted for broadcast
playout.

Webcasting
ProMedia Carbon is used to capture content directly from tape or DVD and then to convert it into a master
digital format for storage in the archive. This provides maximum quality and fl exibility for conversion to web
formats. Content is pulled from the archive, as needed, and transcoded into multiple fi nal delivery formats,
then pushed to the web server.

Workgroup
Transcoding among a workgroup can be centralized into a transcoding farm of multiple ProMedia Carbon
engines, under the control of the Rhozet Workfl ow System (WFS). This allows for automated processing
of high-volume transcoding tasks, as well as preemptive special case jobs, managing job distribution, job
prioritization, load balancing, FTP transfer, status monitoring, and job notifi cation.
