Bringing video to any screen, at any time

Elemental™ Server is a file-based video processing system that provides fast, high-quality video transcoding for multi-screen video applications. The system merges the performance benefits of massively parallel hardware with the flexibility and forward compatibility of intelligent software, giving unmatched price/performance for video compression. By harnessing the power of the latest parallel processing architectures, Elemental Server offers greater density and throughput than other solutions. The system delivers simultaneous, faster-than-real-time conversion of multiple HD and SD video streams for an array of devices including TVs, PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. Ideal for content producers and distributors with large-scale transcoding and video on demand applications, Elemental Server is easy to install, configure and integrate into new media and broadcast production workflows.

Elemental Technologies and thePlatform collaborated to develop a plugin that allows customers to integrate Elemental Servers with thePlatform Remote Media Processor (RMP). RMP is software you install on a server in your network to manage transfer, encoding, and encryption of files as directed by mpx. When you run RMP inside your network, you can avoid lengthy transfers of source and intermediate files across the Internet. Only when you release your media do files traverse the Internet to your content delivery network (CDN). And there’s no new user interface to learn—RMP gets its instructions from mpx, so you simply continue to manage files in mpx as you do today. It includes a plug-in architecture and an SDK that customers and third parties, like Elemental Technologies, can use to develop new functionality for RMP, as well as features for improved management and monitoring of the RMP service.

Users can choose from pre-defined encoding profiles stored on Elemental Server or create their own custom profiles. Media assets stored in mpx can then be encoded using those profiles. The integrated solution also supports the ability to connect shared storage to optimize the transfer of media assets and maximize the processing speed of Elemental Server.
