DetailsMichelle Clancy | 16 May 2015




DigitalGlue has launched ProMediaCarbon.tv, an e-commerce site to support Harmonic's ProMedia Carbon file-based video transcoding solution for the US and Canadian markets.


DigitalGlue will manage customer sales, support and third-party vendor integrations for the standalone version of ProMedia Carbon transcoder. And, Cinnafilm has named DigitalGlue the exclusive US distributor of the Tachyon and Dark Energy plug-ins for the ProMedia Carbon solution, providing software-based format and frame conversions, as well as telecine correction.

"We appreciate the opportunity Harmonic is providing for us to expand our role with the ProMedia Carbon file-based transcoding solution," said Sean Busby, president and co-founder at DigitalGlue.

"In recent years, DigitalGlue has managed numerous customer deployments of the ProMedia Carbon transcoder that involved custom, in-house development. With this experience, we're confident we can provide the sales, engineering and software necessary to support current and future ProMedia Carbon transcoder customers. We look forward to working with these customers to help them realise the maximum ROI from their ProMedia Carbon software investments."

ProMedia Carbon facilitates the conversion of media to an array of acquisition, editing, broadcast, Web and mobile formats. It supports all major SD and HD formats and can handle all critical transcoding operations, including SD/HD conversion, PAL/NTSC conversion, logo insertion, color space conversion, color correction, closed captions extraction and more.

"While a vast number of our customers are migrating to more complex workflows and are adopting our WFS solution supporting next-generation codecs and multiscreen applications, there is a strong customer base for our stand-alone ProMedia Carbon solution who are loyal and wish to continue to use and build around our classic product," said Spencer Hodson, vice president of sales and channel strategy, operations and enablement at Harmonic. "As a highly valued Harmonic Platinum reseller with a strong e-commerce presence and certified for API development, DigitalGlue is the perfect partner in which to place our trust. We can rest assured that our ProMedia Carbon transcoder customers will continue to receive top-notch sales, support, and integration services from the DigitalGlue team."
