Introducing mediaEngine v2.5 nablet mediaEngine is a powerful transcoder for live and file-based workflows, that facilitates the encoding of , audio and metadata to a big variety of acquisition, editing, broadcast and web formats. It runs either stand-alone or within a multi-node rendering farm controlled by several third party apps like netorium’s Active Transfer Tool (ATT), JOBS and others.

The new v2.5 adds powerful, simultaneous processing that enables encoding in several formats concurrently. An example would be encoding to MPEG-2 XDCAM (MXF) while simultaneously creating a transport stream and MPEG-4 file, as well as streaming a proxy with HLS.

It is especially ideal for OTT and VOD applications where incoming content needs to be converted efficiently to multiple formats. mediaEngine includes “while” function support for growing MXF files, enabling reading while writing – even in cloud environments.

Available for Windows and Linu, including Docker for both platforms. mediaEngine comes as a command line transcoder as well as SDK for low-level integration into existing transcode workflows.

A GUI version called mE Works is also available for windows, including overlay functions, watchfolder and other features.

Description mediaEngine has an integrated ultra-fast threading model that makes maximum use of the given resources. The transcoding speed is maximized as the built-in nablet video codecs are also optimized for the internal workflow. Optimized encoders and decoders for specific formats like XDCAM or XAVC provide further advantages compared to standard multi-purpose codecs and help to differentiate from using open source or other codecs. nablet mediaEngine v2.5 is designed to allow the highest possible scalability to set up cluster and cloud-based media processing and high-density transcoding solutions. It takes full advantage of GPU accelerated processing pipelines including Intel Quick Sync Video encoding, NVIDIA Encoding/decoding, and other functions like , scaling, inverse , etc. mediaEngine v2.5 supports all major formats and handles critical transcoding operations including:

• Format conversion SD, HD and UHD • Color space conversion and correction • High quality Video denoising and deinterlacing • Scene detection and segmentation • HDR Conversion form SDR/HDR and HDR/SDR

Smart rendering of all video formats are available as plugin or separate SDK. nablet mediaEngine v2.5 allows optional file based cut edit (stitching) and transcoding using simple configuration files, even with live ingest into MXF using the “while“ function. Ingest supports live from device (SDI) and UDP sources, as well as file based input.
