UltraFlix's growing library of more than 1,400 titles in 4K Ultra HD (UHD) needed to be transcoded into a wide variety of bitrates and codecs. By using Hybrik's cloud-based services, UltraFlix can rapidly on-board new content, as well as re-encode existing content using newer compression techniques and formulas such as HDR and HEVC.

One of the realities of the media business is inherent spikes in content flow. This is particularly true for a content distributor like UltraFlix. When the company makes a new license deal, it needs to ingest hundreds of hours of new content and post it to the UltraFlix network, which runs on a variety of platforms, as rapidly as possible. Hybrik enables near-infinite scalability at the lowest possible cost by taking advantage of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) spot market, which provides customers with the most cost-effective solution to constantly changing processing needs.
