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.​
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.
Automate Your Work.
FLICS Orchestration
FLICS includes a powerful automation engine that lets you orchestrate every part of your media workflow. From ingest to packaging, it connects with your tools, reacts to rules, and handles repetitive steps so your team can focus on what matters.
✅ Integrate via open API and watch folders for hands-free ingest and delivery
​
✅ Trigger actions based on file type, location, or metadata rules
​
✅ Visual workflow design and custom automation logic
​
✅ Connect with MAM, CMS, and storage systems to coordinate complex pipelines
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.
FLICS delivers professional-grade frame-rate conversion powered by FrameFormer from InSync Technologies, trusted across the broadcast industry.
For large sports events, FLICS is installed at the central point where files are shared between national and international broadcast centers and local broadcasters.
It converts archive material to match event standards, and onsite content back to local formats without quality loss. From motion integrity to frame-perfect accuracy, FLICS makes your content flow smoothly, wherever it’s going..
FLICS TRANSCODING PIPELINE
FLICS supports all major broadcast and web formats, a wide range of filters, and both file-based and live sources
Transcoding media for a new era
FLICS gives broadcasters, media teams, and telcos a smarter way to process video — with elastic scaling, real-time responsiveness, and format support built for modern demands.
Deploy it anywhere, scale on demand, and integrate it seamlessly into your workflows.
