Digital Rapids Upgrades Transcoding Software

Digital Rapids plans to soon release new software components and updates to its Transcode Manager 2 automated file-based media processing software and its underlying Kayak workflow platform.

New additions include optional output support for MPEG-DASH and the UltraViolet Common File Format (CFF); expanded Closed Caption support; user interface enhancements for the Kayak Workflow Designer; and improvements to Kayak's deployment and maintenance efficiency. Digital Rapids is also introducing a new standalone version of Kayak Workflow Designer for single-system applications.

The new extensions will be showcased at the 2014 NAB Show alongside upcoming functionality such as HEVC format support and new integrations with third-party partners including Cinnafilm and Vidcheck.
