DIGITAL CONTENT DELIVERY

Digital Traffic is connected to a global private fibre network designed to facilitate secure distribution of media content. Most major Hollywood studios are already connected and the list of content providers is growing continually.  This enables us to receive very high bit rate master copies of content (typically in 50-I format) rapidly – typically in less than 1 hour.

TRANSCODING

Digital Traffic operates a highly automated transcoding process supporting multiple encoder types and codecs.  We customise our encoding to the specific requirements of a platform and go through rigorous technical QC to ensure that all files are compliant. Final pass through delivery can be via any encoder required and we currently have all professional MPEG-2, H.264, VC1, WM9 and Flash encoders available.

STORAGE

All masters and files are stored securely within our own purpose-built data centre offering off-site back-up facility to TV platforms.

A rigorous compliance service is also available if required, with trained staff meeting all regulatory regimes.
