Future-proof Engine
Cambria FTC already supports 8K, 12-bit and HDR. It also supports 64-bit processing for major codecs.
Black Frame/Color Bar Removal Filter
Automatically remove black frames and color bars during transcoding.
Amazon S3 Support
Read from and write to files in Amazon S3 cloud storage. Run Cambria FTC in AWS cloud services while reading and writing files from your on-premises storage.
Audio Normalizer
Cambria FTC includes an audio normalizer for EBU R128 compliance.
Video/Audio Rewrapping and Pass-through
Change containers and trim without re-encoding; pass-through AC-3 audio while preserving metadata; or normalize audio without touching the video.
Automatic Target Setting
Cambria FTC can automatically set target settings based on properties of the source file, such as automatically preserving the resolution, frame rate, interlacing and aspect ratio of the original.
Audio and Captions
The Multitrack Engine handles each audio and metadata track as its own entity. Normalize each audio track separately and add multiple closed caption files for different languages.
Source Adaptive Bitrate Ladders
Automatically adjust the bitrate ladder used for DASH, HLS or Smooth Streaming based on the encoding complexity of the source video.
Watch Folder
The Cambria Watch Folder automates batch transcoding jobs. Define your presets for a Watch Folder and simply drop a file on it to start converting automatically. The Watch Folder also supports post-conversion tasks such as FTP/network retrieval and notification via email.
Growing File Support
When using certain video formats, Watch Folders can begin transcoding while the source file is being written or captured to disk.
Modern REST API
Transcoding jobs and resources can be easily controlled through an API. Cambria FTC’s REST architecture is similar to popular APIs such as Facebook or Twitter and is familiar to developers.
EZ Titles Subtitles Plug-in
The EZ Titles plug-in works seamlessly within Cambria FTC. Burn in or embed closed captions in EIA608, EIA708, DVB or teletext format. Embed multiple languages as separate caption tracks as well.
Scriptable Workflows
Cambria FTC helps create intelligent workflows by supporting scripts that automatically set transcoding options (for encoding, filters, etc.) based on the properties of the source. Example workflows:
- Encode to same resolution as the source, and adjust bitrate based on resolution.
- Don’t encode to any MPEG DASH resolution greater than source resolution.
- Pass through audio if source contains AC-3 data. Otherwise, encode source to AC-3.
- Burn in subtitle text file to matching source files by same base file names.

HEVC encoder with NVIDIA NVENC
NVIDIA NVENC support significantly accelerates HEVC encoding speeds.
Teletext Extractor
Extract teletext subtitles from video streams and deliver them to target files.
Teletext Video Watermarking
Full integration with Teletrax’s newest SDK lets you embed a digital watermark and fingerprint whenever a video is edited, transmitted, broadcast, or duplicated.
VITC Generator
Create outputs with timecode stored in the VBI.
VITC Extractor
Extract timecode stored in the VBI.
SCTE35 Inject Filter
Insert SCTE35 markers into output streams based on ad cue points.
Color Channels Remapper
Map the Y channel to the Alpha channel.
Linux Support
Cambria products now offer Linux versions for more secure and stable transcoding, live encoding, and packaging.
Akamai NetStorage Retrieval
Read and transcode files directly from within NetStorage as well as upload encoded files.
Harmonic VOS360/VOS CNS Support
Cambria FTC transcodes multiple video file formats to VOS360-compatible multi-TS streams while ingesting SCTE35 markers based on ad cue points.
Web UI
An easy-to-use Web UI allows multiple users to access, monitor, and operate Cambria applications from any location.
Deinterlacing, Scaling, Frame rate conversion
Cambria FTC performs high-quality, multiframe, motion-adaptive deinterlacing. It can adjust playback speed with audio pitch correction when necessary, as in 24p to 50i conversion. Its content-adaptive frame conversion minimizes stuttering, and an automatic scaling algorithm produces optimal visual quality.
Multi-file Workflows
Watch Folders can be configured to look for a group of files, for example, an MP4, XML and PNG file with the same base filename. Using a workflow script, you could combine these assets automatically. Two examples: · Transcode an MP4 file adding a PNG overlay, use the XML file to define in/out source timecode, and transform other attributes into output metadata XML. · Specify groups and scripts to combine video with additional languages in separate WAV files and closed caption files.
