Pharos provides a rich toolset for content that requires additional processing prior to publishing and playout.
Prioritisation of rewrapping and tagging is managed by the system by allowing file services to happen independently of other processing in the system, maximising throughput on the available hardware infrastructure by eliminating processing bottlenecks.
Common supported file wrappers:
| From | To | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| .mov + .wav | .mov with QT Language Tags | ISO 639 language codes used to tag audio components for omneon or other tag-compatible playout. |
| .m2v (V), .wav (a) | .mov | A reference mov pointing to separate m2v video and .wav audio |
| MPEG2 Programme stream | .m2v | Extracting video from MPEG2 into separate .m2v video file |
| MPEG2 Programme stream | .wav | Extracting audio from MPEG2 into separate .wav audio file |
| Pinnacle server | .m2v, .wav | Split Pinnacle format into m2v and wav files. |
| Omneon Format | .m2v, .wav | Un-wrap omneon to video and audio, include multiple audio files (multi-language) |
