Halo Transcode & AI Cloud

Ortana's Halo Transcode & AI Cloud provides a global, self-scaling platform to meet your transcoding and AI indexing needs - all natively integrated to the Cubix product range.

With simple "pay as you go" pricing that starts at as little as $0.014 per content minute for transcoding.

Key Features

Wide Codec / Wrapper Support

Transcodes to a very wide range of web and broadcast formats including ProRes©, DNxHR©, FFV1, HLS, HEVC and AV1.

Scales On Demand, In Region

Transcodes are performed in region to avoid egress where possible, scaling on demand as needed.

On Cloud & On Premise

The Halo Transcode Cloud can not only be used in the cloud, but can also be deployed using on premise nodes.

AI "Pick n Mix"

Choose the right AI engines for your different content types. With support for all the major AI services, you can craft the right mix to suit your needs.

Support for DCP, DPX, EXR...

Built for broadcast, web and cinema - our transcode engine can decode and encode Digital Cinema Packages (complete with KDM) as well as work with image sequences such as DPX and EXR.

End to End Workflow

The Halo Transcode & AI cloud handles getting content from where its located, transcoding and indexing it - and getting the output delivered to where it needs to be. Not your typical transcode / AI engine.

More than just a transcoder...

End to End Workflow

Thanks to Halo's workflow orchestration, and hybrid deployment capability - using the Halo Transcode and AI cloud you can configure true "end to end" workflows.

This often resolves alot of the headaches involved in implementing a cloud transcode / AI capability into existing platforms.

Broadcast, Film & Web Codec Support

Transcodes to a very wide range of web and broadcast formats including ProRes©, DNxHR©, FFV1, HLS, HEVC and AV1. Also supports content up to 12K raster and up to 32 audio channels.

NLE Friendly

Halo Transcode Cloud can produce NLE ready content for AVID, DaVinci, Abobe and Final Cut - complete with the associated AAF / PMR / sequence.

"Pick n Mix" the right AI for your content...

One size does not fit all

In the fast paced world of AI - it is important to be able to adapt to using the right AI service for your content. Halo Cloud allows you to pick and choose what engine to use for what kind of AI index you wish to run (e.g. facial recognition, object detection, labels, brand detection, transcription, etc.).

Profile Driven Metadata Generation

Ortana understands that clients often have a diverse range of content types that need handling differently. That's why we support content profiles, which define what AI service to use. These profiles can then be selected and used for your different content types.

Cost effective AI indexing

Content often does not need every frame indexing, so why pay for every frame? Halo cloud intelligently extracts frames of video and uses the image APIs from the major CSPs.

Quicker. Cheaper. Intelligent.
