MediaRig Core

MediaRig Core, available in both SD and HD versions, provides an application programming interface (API) and a set of scaleable software modules that allow video system developers to meet application-specific MPEG processing requirements on an as-needed basis. This software-based video processing ‘engine” assembles all the software and interfaces required to integrate a professional-class encoder or transcoder into your own specialized system.

Video system providers can use the MediaRig Core SDK to incorporate flexible encoding features – live real-time encode, file transcode, stream transrating, dual stream processing – wherever required. By taking advantage of the ever-growing power of general-purpose processors and the latest in Ligos’ award-winning real-time software, the MediaRig Core provides high performance and pristine quality in a variety of formats with a wide range of powerful features.

MediaRig Core is now available for licensing as an underlying encoding and transcoding engine, and provided as software modules and a developers kit for professional Windows operating systems.
