Mobile video is growing ever more popular, particularly with the emergence of smartphones such as the Apple iPhone. But Delivering content to mobile phones is still a problem, particularly in the field of live streaming.

RipCode has already grown into a leader and innovator in the On-Demand Transcoding market built around the strength of its flagship product, the RipCode Video Transcoding Appliance. 

Real-Time Stream Transcoding

But today, it has announced a new step in the evolution of RipCode.  In addition to offering on-demand transcoding of stored content, it is  introducing RipCode’s Real-Time Stream Transcoding solution, focused on the transcoding and delivery of live mobile streaming of broadcast content. 

With this addition, RipCode has created a powerful dual-application transcoding platform enabling its customers to reach more markets with a single transcoding appliance.

8 Simultaneous Streams

RipCode’s Real-Time Stream Transcoding solution has the largest ingest capability of any solution on the market, with up to 8 simultaneous single or multi-program streams. And, it supports high-density output for video delivery over current and next generation broadcast networks including: 3GPP and 3GPP2, DVB-H, MBMS, ATSC, and Qualcomm MediaFlo.

Additionally, RipCode has added an optional Video Feed Ingest component to provide full-resolution ingests of premium audio and video via an SD SDI channel.
