ProMedia Carbon can operate as a standalone application or as part of a multiprocessor , the automated rendering farm controlled by Carbon Server. ProMedia Carbon also supports to convert SD / HD and PAL / NTSC, logo insertion , color space conversion , color correction, extraction of subtitles and many other features. You can work with the ProMedia Carbon, using either the user interface or API interface based on XML, supplied with the product. To control the ProMedia Carbon and Carbon Server uses the same API interface. ProMedia Carbon can be used in small studios and projects at the corporate level .

Key Features:
- Intuitive interface (familiar to many in software product ProCoder - transcoding media files on a shortened engine Carbon'a and sold under the brand name Canopus) makes it easy to not only encode files in the specified format , but also to the following frequently necessary transformations and operations:
- Video streams :
- PAL / NTSC conversion;
- SD / HD conversion;
- Conversion of interlaced to progressive stream ( adaptive deinterlacing ) and vice versa;
- Change the frame rate and aspect ratio, crop, resize;
- Insert the logo ;
- Color correction and the transition from one color space to another.
- Audio streams:
- Normalization;
- Dynamic range compression;
- Filtering of low frequencies.
- Ability to fully automate the process of encoding files that fall into a specific folder (Watch Folder) and batch encoding (Job Queue Manager).
- Create an array of machines that are running Carbon Coder, greatly increases productivity .

ProMedia Carbon is file-based transcoding software that facilitates the conversion of media to the largest array of acquisition, editing, broadcast, Web and mobile formats available. The system scales to precisely match initial requirements and grows to support an automated multi-node transcoding farm under the control of Carbon Server or Workflow System (WFS). ProMedia Carbon also includes an open API that allows for the creation of custom workflows or 3rd party applications.
