Netflix working with Harmonic has developed a set of predefined transcoding presets for its pro media Carbon file based transcoder. This transcoder optimizes both video and audio in media formats for Netflix.
Harmonic said it has launched predefined transcoding presets for its ProMedia Carbon platform to prep video and audio into media formats optimized for Netflix.
Netflix ended the first quarter of 2013 with 27.17 million U.S. streaming subscribers. This new capability creates predefined transcoding presets for Netflix in standard- and high-definition and MPEG-21-Frame video formats at various frame rates, as well as stereo and 5.1 surround sound audio.
Netflix Director of content partner operations Christopher Fetner stated, "With its ability to store and recall parameters that assure transcoded content meets our stringent quality standards, Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon plays a significant role in the digital supply chains of our content and services partners."
He also stated "Collaborating with Harmonic on the new transcoding presets for ProMedia Carbon, we're able to ensure content operators have greater ease when delivering to Netflix."
Yoav Derazon, Harmonic’s director of product management for cloud services and transcoding stated,
"Service providers today receive content from a wide variety of sources in many different formats. The challenge is to align the format and quality of that content, making it ready for distribution through Netflix, as well as other over-the-top (OTT) video providers".
The deal with Netflix comes soon after Harmonic identified multiscreen video, alongside High-Efficiently Video Coding (HEVC) and the budding Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP), as its core business growth drivers.
