Recently updated

mediaEngine Express now includes Transcoding Bins.

Monitor multiple folders and process every dropped file with a assigned preset, including multiple destinations. This makes the Windows end-user application useful not only for manual transcoding, but also for lightweight automated production workflows.

Commercial focus

Three workflows where mediaEngine brings the most value.

Use mediaEngine when the format requirements, legal codec handling, speed, support, or automation needs are beyond what generic components can safely cover.

📡

Broadcast transcoding

Transcode and process files for broadcast operations where MXF, XDCAM, XAVC, ProRes, standards compliance, and predictable output matter.

  • Broadcast-ready containers
  • Professional codec support
  • Automated server workflows
🧩

OEM integration

Embed nablet media technology into your own application, appliance, backend, or service without building every codec and muxer workflow yourself.

  • SDK and integration support
  • Reduced time-to-market
  • Custom workflow adaptation
📦

OTT / VOD workflows

Prepare, normalize, and deliver media files for VOD libraries, OTT services, distribution packages, and multi-destination processing.

  • File normalization
  • Proxy and mezzanine outputs
  • Cloud and Docker deployment

Why mediaEngine

FFmpeg-like flexibility, professional-media focus.

mediaEngine is designed for customers who need more than a general-purpose transcoder. It targets real broadcast and post-production standards, licensed professional codecs, robust containers, automation, and the ability to adapt functionality for specific workflows.

30–50%speed benefit in selected ProRes/XDCAM workflows
RESTAPI for server and workflow control
Dockerand cloud-ready deployment paths
mediaEngine workflow: sources pass through mediaEngine and become production files, proxies, and streams

What it handles

Formats and standards for professional video systems.

Exact format coverage depends on licensing and deployment configuration, but the positioning should be clear: mediaEngine is for serious production, broadcast, and developer workflows.

CodecsProRes, XDCAM, XAVC, AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, VVC, JPEG XS, and workflow-specific professional formats.
ContainersMXF, MOV, MP4, transport streams, and professional delivery packages.
ProcessingTranscoding, recording, streaming, proxy creation, audio gain, timecode overlay, HDR-related processing, and more.
DeploymentWindows desktop, Windows/Linux server, command-line, SDK, REST API, Docker, and cloud-ready deployments.
mediaEngine deployment options: Express, command line, SDK, REST API, Docker, cloud

Integration paths

One engine, multiple ways to use it.

Start with mediaEngine Express on Windows, automate command-line jobs, integrate with the SDK, run server workflows through REST API, or deploy in Docker and cloud environments.

Buy mediaEngine Express

Try mediaEngine on Windows — no integration required.

mediaEngine Express is a ready-to-use Windows application built on the mediaEngine core. It is the fastest way to see mediaEngine transcoding quality and speed on your own files: drop in media, pick a preset, and convert. Transcoding Bins watch folders and process new files automatically, so it doubles as a lightweight production tool.

Comparison

Why choose mediaEngine instead of assembling many components?

Open-source tools are useful, but professional customers often need standards coverage, legal codec clarity, speed, and support that reduce project risk.
