MediaReactor™

MediaReactor™ is the quick and efficient way to professionally transcode your media to a wide range of formats commonly used in the broadcast and production industries. MediaReactor™ lets you select existing media and through the transcode process, use them to create new media files in a format of your choice, for alternate delivery or repurposing, editing, review or collaboration.

Some features of MediaReactor™ include:

• Preview files for transcode

• Frame accurately trim clips

• Convert all files in a directory or subdirectory tree

• Create and load templates for common operations

• Scaling, de-interlace processing

For a more detailed list of supported formats, please download the MediaReactor 2.0 Supported Formats PDF file (Adobe Acrobat required)

MediaReactor™ version 2.2 has combined all the transcoding tools into one version. All of the supported codecs and formats are available for both read and write. All processing functionality is included in this base level of the software. For a general overview of MediaReactor™, please view the MediaReactor page.

MediaReactor™ SDK
To help integrate MediaReactor™ into your workflow an SDK is provided. An interface to MediaReactor's conversion engine is provided through COM technology. If required a support program may be tailored to meet your needs.

MediaReactor Cluster Server™

MediaReactor Cluster Server™ allows you to streamline the transcoding of a large volume of media content.

A single interface provides the setup and control over multiple conversion "nodes", or clients of the Cluster Server. Each client is installed on a dedicated server and performs its specific conversion, to the selected directory/subdirectory location on internal, central or networked storage as files are added to its queue. Converted files are immediately available for review or distribution and function exactly as files generated on hardware specific to the format.

Based on a lower per-node cost, MediaReactor Cluster Server™ is an economical solution for facilities with high volume transcoding requirements, such as render farms and content distribution or repurposing facilities. Dependable, high quality, efficient processing may be maintained using using a high speed powerful storage solution either recommended by, qualified by or provided through Drastic.
