Digital Rapids to encode Web and mobile content for IBC TV News

Digital Rapids will provide encoding services for IBC TV News’ Web presence and mobile delivery.

As it has during the three preceding IBC exhibitions, Digital Rapids will be responsible for encoding and delivery of news stories to the site, both as daily packages and up-to-the-minute Web exclusives. Digital Rapids will again also be responsible for encoding stories to 3GPP and MPEG-4 formats for download to mobile devices such as cell phones.

Encoding for IBC TV News will be performed using a Digital Rapids StreamZ media encoding system. Stories will be fed to StreamZ live via SDI from the IBC TV News edit suites and encoded in real time. StreamZ will then automatically transfer the files to the hosting servers for audience delivery.
