Hiscale Joins SRT Alliance With Its Elastic Transcoder FLICS
COLOGNE, Germany, August 30, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Hiscale, specialists in high-performance hybrid video transcoding solutions, announced they joined the SRT Alliance, the open-source initiative dedicated to overcoming the challenges of low-latency video streaming.
“By implementing the SRT protocol into FLICS, our hyper-scalable Elastic Transcoding Cluster, we can securely receive or transport streams over unreliable networks to process them on-premise, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment,“ said Tilo Skomudek, CEO at Hiscale. “Especially in cloud-centric workflows, using the FLICS transcoding platform, we see it is crucial to have a reliable and secure transport protocol to handle network jitter. This is why we support the SRT Alliance and have chosen to implement SRT in our product.”
With a state-of-the-art architecture and support for commonly required codecs and formats, Hiscale’s transcoding solution FLICS excels with functionality, performance, cost-efficiency and flexibility. For customers and partners, content owners and media companies, FLICS enables flexible business models with cloud-based, local or hybrid processing and CapEx or OpEx licensing models.
