KAIROS: Industrial Strength Audio and Video Encoding, Media Management, Hosting and Streaming Platform
Kairos is a media management system designed to encode large amounts of video and audio media simultaneously to multiple output formats, automating the process of building an extensive and flexible multimedia catalog. Input files are automatically uploaded from a “magic folder” on the local computer, processed on the server, and results can then be automatically stored in a variety of local or remote locations.
With Kairos, you can:
- Seamlessly integrate media files into common web applications and players.
- Send content to multiple platforms (television, mobile devices, web sites) from a single original file.
- Perform administrative and management tasks without interacting with the highly technical infrastructure.
- Maintain, parse, and sort multimedia content according to file properties and metadata tags.
- Perform batch conversions operations to create new mirrors and duplicates in multiple formats.
- Pay for only as much storage space as you actually need.
- Offload heavy processing like video encoding to scalable external hardware system without tying up local machines.
- Regularly back up the content library to an off-site drive.
- Streamline submissions by fans and other users.
How it works:
- Specialized software packages are installed to enable things like file format conversions and metadata editing.
- Kairos wraps around and integrates the components, passing crucial information between them to create end-to-end task logic.
- Flexible file storage options are configured to save the results on local servers, remote servers, or cloud storage.
- File data and operational logs are saved to a database to allow faster, more sophisticated tasks.
