One brain.
Every job.
The master service owns the queue, schedules chunks, and watches the fleet. One source of truth across every worker.
Queue depth · live
A distributed encoder built for fleets of machines, not a single box. Master coordinates, workers run, output ships.
TRNSCODE turns a LAN of idle hardware into a transcode farm. Scene-aware chunks, codec parity, sub-minute jobs at fleet scale.
Every box you add is throughput. Nothing about the pipeline changes as the fleet grows.
The master service owns the queue, schedules chunks, and watches the fleet. One source of truth across every worker.
Drop a worker daemon on any box. It picks up jobs, runs FFmpeg, reports back. Add hardware, get throughput.
Scene-aware chunking, deterministic encodes, and a verification pipeline that catches drift before delivery.
The encode is the middle of the job, not the end. Review, localization, studio ingest, relink and proof ship in the same box — on the same fleet.
Eleven verifiers score every finished job — quality metrics, timing audit, audio truth, fixity. The evidence lives on the job, ready to hand to QC.
Deliverables that need sign-off park in a review queue. A reviewer scrubs the preview and approves or rejects with a comment — a gate, not a vibe.
Declare dubs and subtitles per market, encode the picture once, and mux every territory from it — with per-territory conformance evidence after the run.
Plate sequences ingest through per-project profiles — handles, colour, codec, slates. One shot becomes its master, dailies and references, versioned automatically.
Editorial proxies matched to the NLE, reattach manifests beside every output, and timelines that explode into jobs — the round-trip speaks every interchange dialect.
Watch folders auto-submit whatever lands in them. The console installs to your phone, pushes when a job finishes or a worker drops, and throttles a machine live.
Sources, encodes, evidence — all of it stays on hardware you own. The only network your footage crosses is your own.
A finished encode is a claim. TRNSCODE attaches the proof — eleven verifiers, measured values, per-chunk lineage — to every job, ready to hand to a client or a QC department.
The web console, the REST API, a watch folder, or the console installed on your phone. Every path lands in the same queue, on the same fleet.

Activate the master with your account, and it runs on your network from then on — revalidating quietly in the background.
Install the master, join a worker, submit a job. Self-hosted and free to run on hardware you already own.
