No more tape decks! No more tapes! No more traditional shipping services needed!
That’s right. Aberdeen Captioning is embracing the digital file trend by offering one-stop file distribution services. Imagine being able to upload your HD source file and have it transcoded with captions and delivered to 5 different stations (3 HD & 2 SD), one international PAL station and 2 internet video sites all with closed captioning. Aberdeen can do it for you! Television stations will no longer be relying on glitchy tapes, missing packages, or incompatible file formats.

THE ABERDEEN ADVANTAGE

Our unique digital delivery service makes it easier for producers to take a file right from their editing system at a high quality and deliver to Aberdeen over their internet-based file delivery system, thus eliminating the hassle of going to tape and dealing with shipping charges and delivery times. One of the unique things about their file delivery system is they use a concept called ‘HotFolder’ which does a continual bit for bit checking of the file to ensure there are no lost packets and that the file is delivered completely. And even if the delivery gets broken or the machine gets shut down, as soon as it's reconnected, the file picks up right where it left off. You will even receive an e-mail notification once the file is received on our end. Aberdeen has built a system that can handle hundreds of files a day. This system is scalable to thousands in an environment that is completely redundant to ensure producers and TV stations complete confidence.

HOW IT WORKS

For you, the process is extremely simple, After you send Aberdeen your video file through their easy-to-use ‘HotFolder’ delivery system, the workflow moves to the heart of the entire operation—a broadcast level transcoding system that resides on a bank of servers in a level 5 data center. Here the video is transcoded and captions are added to a file that is specifically customized for each individual station’s play server—whether it be one, ten, or 100 different formats! A QC process is completed and then the file is delivered to the station using the HotFolder delivery system.
