[Avid-L2] Re: realtime MPEG2 encoding

If it's been a few years since you had a demo then it's worth a fresh look.
Having a whole tool set in a dedicated fast box is a real benefit.
The content agent is a powerfull post tool and it would quickly become a key part of you post.
We have the slightly lesser ( in cost and features) digital rapids as we neededore flexibility and didn't need the level of support you'd get from Root6 with a Content Agent.
We went that route to meet one particular need (bulk, quality, fast flash encodes)
Now it encodes and burns DVDs and Blu-rays as well as watch folders for WMV and other encodes direct for our in house clients.
