Capella introduces high-density channel encoding, Oracle Cloud (OCI) support and complete flexibility between on-prem, cloud, and hybrid operation.

Capella has announced that it now offers extremely high density cloud-based channel encoding, with hundreds or even thousands of channels encoded simultaneously, is now available. This is to satisfy the exponential demand for high channel numbers caused by the increasing granularity in content distribution, where a single source can result in dozens of versions being encoded. Comprehensive redundancy and failover strategies ensure that high density encoding is robust and reliable. “Dynamic Swap” keeps live streams running flawlessly, exchanging machine instances without interrupting video streams, and allows for system updates with no service interruption.

Also new is comprehensive integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Oracle’s latest cloud service has several advantages for media organisations that need enterprise-strength video transcoding, including lower costs, video encoding hardware and increased throughput. Following transcoding, OCI can connect with CDNs like Akamai for efficient distribution and delivery. Capella’s OCI integration includes Oracle Kubernetes and Oracle object Storage Integration.

Capella has enhanced Cambria’s flexibility in a mixed on-prem/cloud environment, giving users complete agency over how and when they move to the cloud. This includes the ultimate flexibility of being able to work entirely on-prem if users prefer, or any combination of the two environments. A significant update to Cambria Cluster means that a single instance can now manage both cloud and on-prem Cambria machines.

Ikuyo Yamada, Founder and CEO of Capella Systems, said,

“As content delivery becomes increasingly fragmented, our aim has been to embrace this trend and make transcoding workflows more manageable and efficient. We now have effectively no limit on the number of channels we can transcode simultaneously, and we can do this reliably. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is an exciting new platform for content encoding and distribution and we are pleased to announce full OCI support for Cambria FTC. Last year we announced our arrival in the cloud, and this year we have achieved complete flexibility to work on-prem, hybrid or in the cloud, and we have developed our management tools to control on-prem and cloud operations simultaneously. We know the world is changing fast - and we are focused on providing the workflow tools our customers need to thrive in this extraordinary era of technological development.”

Focus on the future

Capella’s modern transcoding engine, Cambria FTC, is unbeatable for efficiency, maintainability, and support. Encoding/transcoding is a crowded field, but no other company has Capella’s combination of experience, performance, and flexibility. Our increasing use of rich metadata will enable users to increase the life-long value of their media. The best way to manage the current extraordinary rate of change is to be flexible. So we integrate with and automate almost every kind of workflow. Above all, our approach is modular and scalable. We are ready to adapt quickly to meet future demands.
