Lifetime Networks selected video-transcoding technology from Harmonic’s Rhozet business unit to prepare its television content for Web distribution.
Lifetime Television and Lifetime Movie Network will use the Rhozet Carbon Coder video-transcoding solution to transcode and package content for Web platforms such as Apple's iTunes, Yahoo and Lifetime Networks’ own Web site.
Carbon Coder is a universal transcoding application that facilitates the transfer of media between a variety of platforms, including acquisition, editing, playout, archive, the Internet and mobile devices. Lifetime is using the product in a multinode, fully automated rendering-farm configuration to maximize its Web-video output.
"We produce hundreds of hours of content each month, and bringing this content to Web customers is a key goal for us," said Carl Charleson, eirector of enterprise-media applications at Lifetime Entertainment, in a statement. "We chose the Rhozet Carbon Coder transcoding farm because its performance, flexibility, expandability and cost-effectiveness make it possible for us to manage such a high volume of transcoding."

I have written a published book which I believe is perfect for Lifetime. How do I know? I love the show and watch it all the time. Who do I contact? Let me know how to reach you so you can view my material and let me know if you are interested. Many of my friends have read the book and said, "It is perfect for Lifetime!" Joan Hansen
