USE CASES

Real-world needs at real-time scale.

Live Ingest

 

Ingest live IP streams and transcode them instantly for broadcast, archiving, or delivery.

Automated distribution

 

Effortlessly send content to various platforms in the correct formats with minimal setup.

Archive format migration

 

Convert legacy files into modern formats while maintaining your existing infrastructure seamlessly.

Hiscale FLICS use cases

Media has changed,
transcoding should too.

Teams need to be able to scale up when jobs pour in, scale down when things are dead, and deploy across cloud, on-prem, hybrid systems.

 

But there's a problem:

🚫 Legacy transcoders

Rigid and costly. You over-provision and pay for idle capacity, or under-provision and face delays.

🚫 Cloud limitations

Cloud-only services cut hardware costs, but can charge when idle and limit your storage control.

Save up to 50% with responsive media processing and delivery.

Responsive transcoding technology

FLICS is designed to meet the demands of real-time media processing. The opportunity to save and become more nimble with flexible transcoding capacity that adapts to your needs is incredible.

✅ Reduce costs

​​

Save compute costs during off-hours or low-volume periods.

✅ Make spikes smooth

​​

Handle unexpected spikes without stress.

✅ Monitor less

​​

No need to manually manage resources or monitor queue length.

✅ Flexible deployment

​​

Elasticity works across cloud, hybrid, or on-prem deployments.

Transcode without vendor lock-ins
Transcode without vendor lock-ins

No lock-Ins. No limits.

You own your workflows and your deployment model. We don’t tie you to our infrastructure. Hiscale gives you freedom for the future with open APIs, flexible licensing, and vendor-neutral design.
