Abstract: As content producers adopt file-based workflows, and viewers demand a wider variety of delivery formats, the need for faster and more efficient ways to encode and transcode video files and metadata has greatly increased. This paper describes a new multi-format transcoding platform based on Intel and Cell/BE hybrid architecture to provide improved performance and high efficiency for post-production image processing tasks and customer content management workflows. The proposed prototype system can support a variety of codec formats including proxy, J2K, MPEG2, AVC/H.264, DNxHD, for resolution independent video data contained in a wide variety of file wrappers. In addition to high-performance transcoding, the system can also be used to perform complex processing and multi-tasking operations in faster than real-time, due to its aggregate computational power of 3.2 TFLOPS. The new platform has been designed around a flexible, scalable, open architecture concept that incorporates Java applications, consistent metadata management, and a SOAP-based interface to enable seamless integration with a variety of workflows and third-party components. This paper describes the technical details of the processing architecture, the benefits it provides to the users, and example workflows that the platform supports.
