SNS Reveals Transcode Accelerator v.2 at NAB Show 2025

An EVO-powered orchestration engine for Adobe Media Encoder St. Louis, MO - April 6, 2025 - Studio Network Solutions (SNS) today announced the latest version of Transcode Accelerator, a groundbreaking solution that vastly reduces the time required for processing large transcode jobs by intelligently distributing tasks to an organization's network of existing and available resources.

Building on the success of its predecessor, which can distribute transcode tasks across multiple EVO shared storage servers, Transcode Accelerator v.2 now also enables proxy generation tasks to be offloaded-partially or completely-to macOS workstations on the network running Adobe Media Encoder. This has the added benefit of reducing the load on the storage system, conserving its processing power for even higher priority tasks.

This is the first orchestration engine for Media Encoder that leverages existing hardware and software to pool CPU/GPU power and accelerate the proxy generation process. Specifically designed for automated, share-wide proxy generation, this solution speeds up the transcoding of high-resolution/raw codecs to ShareBrowser preview proxies and edit-ready proxies (including ProRes).

With Transcode Accelerator v.2, video teams can:

Cut down transcoding time significantly to free up valuable production hours.

Choose where transcoding happens-on EVO, networked workstations, or both-to create a scalable transcode farm.

Automate and orchestrate large transcode jobs by distributing media files to multiple systems running Media Encoder.

Transcode a wide range of media formats including Sony and Canon codecs.

Leverage existing resources to maximize the value of hardware investments.

Matt Ratkowski, Director of Engineering at SNS, said: Transcode Accelerator v.2 changes how creative teams handle transcoding. By tapping into the power of EVO and available workstations, media teams can dramatically reduce the transcode turnaround and focus more on what really matters: creating.

Van Bedient, Director, Strategic Development and Partnerships, Digital Video & Audio at Adobe said: This groundbreaking orchestration engine integrates EVO shared storage with Adobe Media Encoder, optimizing the use of existing resources for editors. In a fast-paced industry where time and assets are frequently constrained, this solution accelerates a critical workflow without requiring extra infrastructure investments.

SNS will showcase Transcode Accelerator v.2 at NAB Show 2025, booth #SL5711. Learn more about EVO's latest features at snsevo.com.
