Dec 13, 2008 (10Meters.com via COMTEX) -- AMGIA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Harmonic announced that its Rhozet universal transcoding technology has been selected by Ascent Media Group (AMG) for its Viia media services platform.

According to company officials, AMG's Viia services platform with Rhozet transcoding technology enables media companies to digitize content once, then store, manage, re-purpose and distribute it globally in multiple formats and languages to numerous providers simultaneously.

"Rhozet provides the critical media transcoding piece of the Viia solution in an efficient and effective manner," said Morgan Holly, Vice President, Digital Services at Ascent Media Group. "With its strong automated workflow capability, broad format support and quality output, Rhozet's transcoding technology is a valuable asset for our customers who have a high volume of content and custom transcoding requirements. We're also impressed with the ease in which we have been able to integrate Carbon Coder's capabilities with Viia's core engine."

"Ascent Media Group's Viia platform is an important technology to enable major Hollywood studios to archive, repurpose and distribute content digitally through a variety of media channels," said David Trescot, Vice President of the Rhozet Business Unit at Harmonic. "Rhozet transcoding technology enhances the Viia platform by providing a more efficient workflow while maintaining image quality, effectively addressing two key issues for movie studios - quality and production time."

Harmonic's Rhozet transcoding solutions are offered in both off-the-shelf and customized software configurations. The company's Rhozet Carbon Coder universal transcoding application facilitates the transfer of media between a variety of platforms, including acquisition, editing, playout, archive, the Internet and mobile devices.
