Abstract:
1. A mobile media encoding or transcoding facility comprising: one or more content input ports adapted to receive a plurality of content formats; an encoding engine for encoding the received content into an alternate encoding format, comprising: a plurality of encoding processors, each encoding processor being adapted to perform at least one encoding action that includes producing intermediately encoded content into a format that is based on pre-encoded format popularity that is determined from a consumption profile for each content item currently being served by the mobile media facility, each consumption profile including a device profile with attributes of devices on which a content item can be accessed, and a network profile with a profile of attributes of networks on which each content item can be delivered, wherein producing intermediately encoded content for a content item is based on the device profile and the network profile elements of the consumption profile of the content item; a media management platform to configure the content item to effect at least two of: the type of the content item ingested, the encoding of the content item, the transcoding of the content item, the frequency of content item ingestion, the processing resources allotted for content ingestion, and a schedule of content item encoding; a determination facility adapted to apply an encoding processor utilization algorithm for determining which encoding processor to delegate a particular encoding action, said determination facility being further adapted to delegate a first portion of said particular encoding action to a first encoding processor to produce the intermediately encoded content and to delegate a second portion of said particular encoding action to a second encoding processor wherein said second encoding processor is adapted to receive the intermediately encoded content from said first encoding processor; and a distribution port adapted to supply content from at least one of said first encoding processor and said second encoding processor to a content management system, the content management system being adapted to provide a workflow to manage content delivery on a plurality of network types.
