Quality Control as a Service in the cloud is finally here. No need to purchase and manage expensive on premise QC infrastructure. Using Encoding.com’s API, you can automate your QC job management and reporting needs via our highly scalable, extremely efficient cloud service. Choose to run any number of our 40+ individual QC validations at the time of transcoding and packaging or use as a standalone QC service on assets that are already transcoded and packaged.
All QC checks requested are performed on the same compute node as transcoding and packaging to save time, friction and money when compared to manual transfers of media to a separate QC system. Generate complete QC reports in the time it takes to transfer content to your destination. In other words, no increase in total job time.
*Standalone (without transcoding) QC checks available.
