Pro Camera Transcoders

For Sony and Panasonic

Pre-configured containerized microservice products for broadcast & production

MainConcept® Pro Camera Transcoders for Sony and Panasonic are a set of optimized microservice modules in containers that enhance your workflow with codec and conversion  features built on top of MainConcept’s leading broadcast technology. The products consist of codecs modules, pre-packaged as single optimized containerized applications for fast and flexible deployment to any workflow, on-premise or in the cloud.

These ready-to-use products are the perfect fit for optimized broadcast production workflows with fast integration and flexible deployment on your servers or in the cloud. Bundled in an isolated container, each product is unique, easy to deploy, scale and ready-to-use in any process. Each module is a final product that is controlled via REST API, command line or standard container management tools without programming skills required.

Ready-to-use, self-contained product

Each product comes ready-to-use, controlled via command line, REST API or container management tools without programming skills required. They run in virtualized containers encapsulated from the host computer or virtual machine which makes the runtime behavior safe from your own environment.

Easy-to-deploy, scalable & cloud ready

Download the containers to your local server or directly into the cloud VM. Launch as many instances as you need and scale them down again if the project allows.

Tech Specs

The file is delivered as a download package. The package contains the MainConcept container binary plus links to online documentation, installation instructions, usage scripts and integration guidelines.

Before running the container, install it in the Docker environment locally or in server farms using a container management tool like Swarm or Kubernetes. Example scripts show how to install, start and stop the container using various tools and with different parameters.
Once started, the MainConcept instance is active and ready to use. The interface for data transfers in and out depends on the type of product. For file-based use cases, a folder on the host is mapped into the container and used for input and output.

System Notes

On Windows you must configure Docker for Linux Containers using the CE (Community Edition) rather than EE (Enterprise Edition) version of Docker. Docker CE requires a full GUI to install, Windows Server 2016 users must have the full ‘desktop experience’ installed. The lighter-weight versions of Windows Server 2016 does not support a full GUI. Other versions of Windows only have a full GUI. Due to limitations in VirtualBox, MainConcept Pro Camera Transcoders do not run a VM tool with Windows Server 2016.
