Episode Engine is intended for transcoding of media material. It will automatically retrieve files from designated sources, transcode them and place the result in output folders for further processing by the next component in your workflow. You can install and run Episode Engine either on a single workstation or in a computing cluster to increase your throughput.
With the Engine Admin graphical interface you set up input monitoring, prioritize sources, and monitor the progress of transcoding.
Episode Engine comes with a large number of predefined transcoding settings. The distribution also includes the client application Episode Encoder, which lets you create new settings for your particular needs.
