mr_clientsvr_logoMediaReactor Client Server is a scalable client/server media file translation system for post production and broadcast facilities.  Designed for enterprise level or high volume transcoding applications, MediaReactor Client Server controls the transcodes on multiple client nodes, providing for tailored, priority based and user directed media control and conversion. MediaReactor Client Server is $2,995.00 US (includes one client) and additional clients are $595.00 US each.

Overview

MediaReactor Client Server allows you to set up multiple "client" stations with MediaReactor transcoding software, and control the transcoding features from a single interface. This allows for streamlined high volume transcoding throughput.

MediaReactor Client Server provides a cost effective and expandable solution for media transcoding across a facility. All activity can be viewed from one point, and dynamically adjusted as dictated by the priorities of the facility's work flow and delivery requirements.

Wide Industry Standard Support

All signal and file formats are supported with the same version. SD, HD, Digital Cinema and 2K Film all from one interface.

mr_fileformats_standards

MediaReactor does not convert between standards, but can transcode within a standard to provide media files for various applications and devices. Use the devices you prefer, the formats best suited to the application, and the work flow that best meets your requirements.

Automated Conversions with Watch Folder Support

MediaReactor can help you process existing file libraries or incoming files, in order to provide the correct format of media for a variety of purposes. Create media files for collaboration and review, editing, and processing.

Automatically create the file type you need, prioritize transcodes based on their importance, run conversions in the background; in short, transcode the files you require while maximizing your efficiency. Simply select a folder, create a profile, and set conversions to run automatically. As files arrive in the source folder, they are transcoded and the newly converted file arrives in the target folder ready for delivery.

Sharing Content and Collaboration

MediaReactor can create low resolution (or proxy) streaming files to share with your team where full resolution files are large enough to make distribution a problem.

Run your project through MediaReactor to create files of a convenient size to view, send and store easily.

Application Compatibility and Conversion

MediaReactor provides transcoding to and from the industry's most popular software editing applications. Transcode files for Autodesk Smoke/Flame, Combustion, Assimilate Scratch, The Foundry Nuke, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Eyeon Fusion, Apple Shake, Motion, Final Cut Pro, and many more.
