Among the new additions since Setaria.cloud’s release on February 2019, Nekojarashi is happy to announce that Apple ProRes (decode) will be officially supported in Setaria.cloud after today’s update. Furthermore, exclusive to IBC2019, the upcoming new Transcode Workflow will be shown for the first time as a Beta Version where visitors will be able to get a chance for a direct first-hand experience.
Transcode Workflow is a new upcoming feature offered on Setaria.cloud that allows easy, workflow-based multi video transcoding from a single master into delivery formats used by major streaming services with just a few clicks. Efficient, and easy to use workflows are vital in broadcasting and media industries as it enables them to further optimize their video processing flow which ultimately affects time and cost.
To promote better usage flexibility, Setaria.cloud has also recently released an API documentation which can be found at
https://docs.setaria.cloud. The publicly exposed API of Setaria.cloud API Gateway allows secure integration for automation as an alternative usage to its user-friendly GUI-based web browser version. Virtually all major features are available via API (usage tracking, high speed transcoding, processing, etc.). Some example projected use cases are such as when a locally developed application would like to integrate features from Setaria.cloud to allow easy feature expansion, or a script within an existing video processing flow to automatically transcode or process videos.
