NOA's native, multi-instance media transcoding engine designed for high-throughput processing of audio and video files with full workflow integration and exceptional scaling opportunities.
MediaButler transcoding engines are deployed in one or multiple instances on dedicated high-performance servers. The servers are equipped with the necessary internal disk storage to provide enough capacity and performance. Multiple servers can work in a colaborative manner on the same workflow, much like a server farm.
Standard-compliant encoding managed by a workflow engine.
All main audio and video codecs and lossless compression formats.
Advanced audio and video normalization, overlays etc.
Possible integration with 3rd party tools and transcoders.
Runs on standard commercial off-the-shelf hardware of your choice.
MediaButler is crafted to optimize archive business procedures, seamlessly bridging gaps in complex media processing workflows when integrating third-party transcoder engines. With tailored workflows, direct access to centralized job pools, and transparent parameter support, it ensures efficient and flexible media file processing.
MediaButler supports several input and output formats for both audio and video, either natively or via 3rd party encoding tools.

NOA, Senior Developer
"MediaButler is NOA's unique solution for managing media in our 21st century archive solutions. Highly integrated with the jobDB and mediARC systems it forms the backbone of all our media workflows. We take pride in continually improving the product, while maintaining compatibility with existing archived media files. MediaButler provides high-quality transcoding to the archiving world."
actLINE product family
MediaButler is a vital component of actLINE, the family of highly specialized processors and interfaces that power all the workflows in NOA systems...
jobDB framework
In the context of an industrial digitization facility based on NOA's workflow orchestration system, jobDB, MediaButler is the convergence of ingested media, technical metadata, and intellectual annotation and manipulation thereof, in order to produce the final archival files.
mediARC framework
MediaButler is irreplacable also when it comes to outgesting media assets from large archive repositories, encoding files for production, broadcast or the web...
MediaButler, like all NOA solutions, is designed to run on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and to operate seamlessly on standard Windows operating systems. This approach guarantees that the hardware underlying NOA's solutions is not only easily maintainable and accessible but also highly reliable, offering users peace of mind with its long-term stability and dependability.
For optimal operation, NOA provides:
