ELASTIC TRANSCODING CLUSTER
Broadcast-Quality Transcoding for File, VOD, and Live scenarios with platform-agnostic, hybrid deployment options
USE CASES
Real-world needs at real-time scale.
Live Ingest
Ingest live IP streams and transcode them instantly for broadcast, archiving, or delivery.
Automated distribution
Effortlessly send content to various platforms in the correct formats with minimal setup.
Archive format migration
Convert legacy files into modern formats while maintaining your existing infrastructure seamlessly.
Media has changed,
transcoding should too.
Teams need to be able to scale up when jobs pour in, scale down when things are dead, and deploy across cloud, on-prem, hybrid systems.
But there's a problem:
🚫 Legacy transcoders
Rigid and costly. You over-provision and pay for idle capacity, or under-provision and face delays.
🚫 Cloud limitations
Cloud-only services cut hardware costs, but can charge when idle and limit your storage control.
Save up to 50% with responsive media processing and delivery.
FLICS is designed to meet the demands of real-time media processing. The opportunity to save and become more nimble with flexible transcoding capacity that adapts to your needs is incredible.
✅ Reduce costs
Save compute costs during off-hours or low-volume periods.
✅ Make spikes smooth

Meet Hiscale at IBC 2025 - Hall 1 Booth D07
August 7, 2025
Years ago, we set out to prove that transcoding could be done differently.
The result? Today media teams are scaling faster with elastic transcode clusters, launching live-to-file workflows with zero delay, and automating entire pipelines using FLICS.
This September, we’re back at IBC as part of the Media Fast Track with MoovIT and Netorium.
Whether you’re building a new platform or modernizing your archive, we’d love to connect in Amsterdam.
