Encoding Software and File based Q&C

Grtz from HollandJatha, please return out bikes.

Pretty sure Telestream Vantage will do most of what you need, perhaps not one or two of the QC steps, that will depend on how fancy/anal the broadcasters are. There are however caveats, or at least design considerations within the cluster. Lots of maths and matrices for you my friend. If you want to provide some real world numbers (timeframe/files/footage) I can comment on the scale of systems you might need. Don't make the mistake I made and think a larger and larger computer will handle more and more things. (While this canwork, it wont necessarily)

I've used it in large scale transcode/delivery including QC very successfully. What I really like is the decision making capability based on QC and other analytics results.
i.e.transcode"x" para>analyse>QC fail on para>re-encode with "y" para >transcode> analyse > QC pass > report > transform meta > notify. (imagine lots of diff QC steps and each fail having a differentre-encode path) This strategy is frankly awesome when it comes to eyes-off checks for blocking and tearing. It can figure out if the image is being over compressed or there is not enough bandwidth to accurately create frames. Saved me hundreds of hours of interns looking at screens falling asleep.

Better still you can analyse on source file input and pre-decide workflow paths based on what you find. And you can also get it to make decisions based on xml submitted meta, pre-analytics. It does however take quite a lot of setting up. :)

We are searching for something similar though we need DVCProHD MXF OP1a . We are having trouble finding anything that can do the specific format the client has requested : DVCProHD with 5 stereo audio tracks .

We have a demo of a Telesteam HDPipeline , I don't think it does XDCAM directly but I think, Vantage will convert.

We are also looking at 2 other systems , both with capture hardware and conversion software
