  • Distributed video transcode system with adaptive file processing
    Patent number: 8933823
    Abstract: To obtain greater transcoding efficiency, a node administrator (160) distributes digital files among transcoding nodes (120, 140 and 190) based on a comparison of a transcoding profile for each digital file and the transcoding histories of the transcoding nodes. In this way, the node administrator (160) will select the transcoding node best able to undertake transcoding, taking into account the characteristics of the file to be transcoded.
