Encoding
10-bit Encoding
A 10-bit encoding engine and fine-tuning compression controls combine to generate pristine picture quality, producing results that are "true to the original." In addition, bumpers, trailers, and watermarks can also be added to enhance and protect your video content.
Fine-Tuning Controls
Extensive codec and filtration controls and a real-time preview window, let you fine-tune your video encoding and preprocessing settings.
Fully Configurable Pre-Processing Filters and Control
High-quality filters, including motion compensated deinterlacing and frame-rate conversion, enable complex standards conversion. Other video filters include black and white restoration, HSV and gamma correction, noise removal, and image sharpening. Audio filters include normalize, balance, and fade in/out.
Formats
Extensive Format Support
Episode supports a wide-range of formats including most of the major input/output formats for web, streaming, VOD, production, broadcast, DVD/Blu-ray, and more.
Hundreds of Presets
Choose from hundreds of encoding preset templates for streaming, broadcast, Apple devices, and more. Each template has parameters than can be adjusted further, to meet your encoding needs.
x264 Encoding Option
Add optional support for the x264 codec. The x264 option gives you optimized H.264 encoding with full compatibility with Episode's fine tune parameters and enhancement filters.
Pro Audio Option
Add optional encode and decode support for Dolby Digital (AC3), AAC HE, AAC LC, and AMR audio formats.
Flexible Workflows
Automated Workflows
Episode can easily be configured to automatically pick up and deliver files to local folders, network shares, and FTP servers.
Free API Available
It can also be easily integrated into larger workflows with an easy-to-use, free API. The API includes both a Command Line interface and an XML RPC interface.
Developer API Kit
This optional kit is for developers who want extra support for their API integrations, the Episode Developer API Kit option provides technical and engineering support to help you with your API integrations, and exclusive early-access license to the latest Episode features for the duration of your annual contract. New early-access features available in v6.2:
- Image sequence input (DPX, TGA, TIFF, JPEG)
- Microsoft Smooth Streaming
- Apple HLS
- Email notification task
- Execute task (scripts)
Cluster Machines to Share Encoding Load
Join multiple machines together, both Mac and PC, to share encoding work among workstations. The built-in file sharing system makes it easy to offload work from one machine to another; simply prep your encoding work, send it off to the cluster, and get it back when it's done.
3rd Party Integration
Episode integrates with a growing number of third party applications and systems.

Autodesk Smoke and Flame: Deep system integration with Smoke and Flame enable browsing, monitoring, and transcoding directly from the Autodeck software. Direct integration allows Smoke and Flame users to take advantage of the powerful, scalable encoding capabilities of Episode software.
axle Video Media Management: Gives axle users access to Episode's single or multi-system transcoding clusters for a high-performance option for converting media between a broad range of file formats directly within the axle interface.
Levels Beyond: Users can export final outputs using Episode Engine, directly from the Reach platform interface.
Adobe Premiere Pro: Coming soon to episode is direct export from the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. This will give Adobe Creative Suite users easy access to Episode's high quality encoding engine and format support.
Configurable for Your Environment
Episode is suitable for use at home on a laptop, in the field, or working as part of a cluster of dedicated machines. It can be reconfigured quickly and easily to meet your needs.
Speed / Performance
Unlimited Batch Processing
Episode allows an unlimited number of files to be batch processed using the same configuration settings. Use watch folders to pull files into a batch process, or manually submit a group of files. You can even prioritize encoding and add files to a batch while it's running.
Parallel Encoding
The multi-threaded encoding engine is capable of utilizing the full power of multi-core workstations. For high-volume workflows, Episode Engine can speed up encoding even more by allowing an unlimited number of jobs to be processed in parallel.
Split-and-Stitch
Split-and-Stitch technology enables distributed and segmented encoding for any supported format, taking advantage of all available CPU power. This increases encoding speeds when working on single workstations or across a cluster of machines.
Easy to Use Interface
The visual workflow builder simplifies the encoding process and helps identify functions being performed and the status of work in progress.
