Distributed Scalable Video Transcoding Cluster with Hardware Acceleration for Universal Playback - An affordable on-premise or self-hosted alternative to cloud transcoders like Amazon Elastic Transcoder, Google Transcoder API, Wowza, and Azure Media Services.
The Rasboa philosophy is built on the idea of components, meaning that each part of the system can operate independently or be combined with a few others.
| Name | Status | Responsibility | Edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| VideoTranscoding | ✅ Ready | Encode/decode and transcode video files. | Community |
| TaskManagement | ✅ Ready | Receive and manage tasks through the API protocol. | Community |
| CallbackManager | ✅ Ready | Manage callbacks when tasks are ready or encounter issues. | Community |
| SystemRadar | ✅ Ready | Monitor and collect system status information. | Community |
| HouseKeeper | ⬜️ In Progress | Work as a supervisor to ensure tasks in the transcoder do not stack indefinitely, addressing issues in case of errors. | Enterprise |
| Dashboard | ⬜️ In Progress | Centralized control panel to manage or monitoring Rasbora cluster. | Enterprise |
| SafeGuard | ⬜️ In Progress | Offers protection on all Rasbora systems, with alerts for abuse, authentication, permissions, and authorization. | Enterprise |
| CrashReporter | ⬜️ In Progress | Reporting crash details and performance alerts in the event of system crashes. | Enterprise |
Currently, we are focused on developing support for various encode/decode strategies tailored to different workload needs:
| Name | Status | Strategy | Edition |
|---|---|---|---|
| A-Z/V | ✅ Ready | Processes a single video file, decoding and encoding the entire file to produce multiple quality versions. | Community |
| S-C/V | ⬜️ In Progress | Divides video files into small chunks; multiple instances of VideoTranscoding work on different chunks, later reassembling them into one video file with multiple qualities. | Enterprise |
| F-F/V | ⬜️ In Progress | Analyzes video files and generates frames; each VideoTranscoding instance works on frames, later reassembling them into a video file with multiple qualities. | Enterprise |
