HISCALE FLICS IN 2 MINUTES
“ Nothing scales like FLICS. We made it Docker-based, so it is agile and ready for speed. ”
Tilo Skomudek, CEO @ Hiscale
Best Quality for Broadcast & Web
FLICS supports all major broadcast and web formats, giving you full flexibility across file-based and live workflows. With advanced plugins for image processing, standards conversion, and motion-compensated frame-rate conversion, and audio processing, you get precision at every stage.
Built-in ABR encoding ensures optimal quality for each device, while built-in packaging and DRM make it easy to deliver in popular streaming formats — securely and at scale.
​
Stay in control — even when you’re not in the room.
Hyper-Scalable Deployment
Run FLICS on-prem, across public cloud platforms, or hybrid — whatever fits your infrastructure.
It auto-scales in real time, shifting workloads dynamically to keep throughput high and delays low.
You can monitor and manage everything through a web interface, and boost performance further with various acceleration options. It integrates easily into your ecosystem via RESTful API, so it fits right into your existing architecture.

ONE ENGINE. THREE WAYS TO PURCHASE.
GET TO DONE - FASTER.
FLICS transcoding acceleration features
GPU Acceleration
Use video-processing hardware from NVIDIA and others to speed up transcoding beyond what CPUs alone can offer.
Split & Stitch
Divide long files into segments to transcode in parallel and reassemble to drastically cut time.
Turbo iFrame Encoding
Built for UHD workflows, this server-level parallelization feature accelerates i-Frame only transcoding (like HEVC) for massive speed gains.
SCALABLE FILE TRANSCODING
How scalable broadcast file transcoding clusters work
In file-based workflows, FLICS acts as the core encoding unit, often installed on-premises, and scales via cloud when demand spikes. It integrates via REST API with MAM/CMS tools, or through watch-folders across SMB, FTP, NFS, or S3.
FLICS processes content from local or cloud sources and generates file-based and multi-bitrate outputs in DASH, HLS, and other formats.
YOUR STANDARD ISN'T ALWAYS THEIR STANDARD
From pitch to playout, FLICS preserves motion and detail using motion-compensated frame-rate conversion designed for high-end sports content.
Best-in-class frame-rate conversion is of the highest value, especially when it comes to converting sports content.
FLICS leverages the FrameFormer by InSync Technologies motion-compensated frame-rate and standards conversion algorithms to preserve the quality of your content.
For large sports events, FLICS is installed at the central point where files are being shared between National and International Broadcast center and local Broadcasters. For production, archive material needs to be converted to fit the events' local standards while content produced onsite needs to be converted back to local standards before going on air.
The FLICS transcoding pipeline supports all major broadcast and web formats, filters, an integrated packager and, DRM encryption.
