SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ:HLIT - News) today announced that its market-leading Rhozet™ Carbon Coder™ video transcoding solution has been selected by Lifetime Networks – encompassing the two highest-rated women’s networks, Lifetime Television and Lifetime Movie Network – for the transcoding and packaging of content for Web-based distribution.

Lifetime delivers broadband content through a wide variety of outlets, including Apple’s iTunes store, Yahoo!, and its own website, www.myLifetime.com. The requirement to deliver an increasing amount of video to an increasing number of destinations prompted Lifetime to look for a comprehensive video transcoding solution that offers the scalability to keep pace with this growing demand. Rhozet Carbon Coder, deployed in a multi-node “farm” configuration, enables Lifetime to rapidly deliver a vast amount of video content in any format from broadcast to mobile.

“We produce hundreds of hours of content each month, and bringing this content to web customers is a key goal for us,” said Carl Charleson, Director of Enterprise Media Applications at Lifetime Entertainment. “We chose the Rhozet Carbon Coder transcoding farm because its performance, flexibility, expandability and cost-effectiveness make it possible for us to manage such a high volume of transcoding.”
