Epsiode Pro offers the highest quality and fastest encoding for content repurposing and distribution to new media channels, whether its web, DVD, or portable devices such as iPod, iPhone, and other mobile phones. In addition, Episode Pro supports the widest range of standard and professional formats, including H.264 High Profile, MXF, Transport Streams, and 3GPP multi-bit rate.

Episode gives you the most encoding power available, so you’re assured of extraordinary encoding speeds.

A future-proof solution, Episode offers extensive support for current and emerging video and audio file formats, including HD resolutions in and out. It also provides optimized codecs, filters, and the most extensive fine-tuning compression capabilities on the market, so you can generate the highest-quality media files.

Episode Pro includes Flash 8 (VP6s, VP6e) and Flash 9, Windows Media, H.264, MPEG-1/-2/-4, VC-1, DV, 3GPP/2, M4A, MOV, other QuickTime codecs; GXF, MXF (XDCam), H.264 High Profile, DVCPRO HD (with Apple Final Cut Studio or Pro), Transport Stream, mobile multi-bit rate, and more.

The intuitive user interface gives you complete hands-on control of the encoding process. Choose from a wide range of predefined encoding settings designed by experts, or create your own custom ones. With the powerful preview window you can analyze your settings results before encoding. Or you can set up watch folders to let Episode automatically encode files that are dropped into them.

And on the Mac, direct integration with Apple’s Compressor 3 allows you to submit jobs directly from the Final Cut Pro timeline. As a result, you get direct access from Final Cut Pro to virtually every video file format available.

Episode is the scalable solution that grows with your media workflow needs. Scale up from Episode to Episode Pro and get advanced professional formats and increased capacity with unlimited batch processing. From Episode and Episode Pro, the upgrade path to Telestream’s Episode Engine provides server-based solutions with faster, high-volume job processing for time-critical workflows.
