The SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node optimizes file size and quickly converts MPEG-2 to H.264 or WMV with seamless integration to your SnapStream SD or SnapStream HD. In a cluster configuration, it helps transcode bulk batches of video while natively preserving the search meta data—something a third-party solution cannot do. While you can transcode video files on your SnapStream, this dedicated node is ideal for saving hard drive space, emailing TV clips at a high rate or transcoding batch recordings in progress.

SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node FAQ

Expand all answers

What is ShowSqueeze?

ShowSqueeze is SnapStream's internal transcoding engine that converts the natively recorded video files to H.264 or WMV.

How much faster can I ShowSqueeze? How many ShowSqueeze tasks can I run at a time?

In broadstrokes, you'll be able to ShowSqueeze around 3 times faster and run up to 4 simultaneous tasks.

Is there a loss in quality when transcoding to H.264 or WMV?

Yes, varying degrees depending on the beginning and ending bitrates.

How does the user interface with the ShowSqueeze Node?

Once the node is in the cluster, tasks will be automatically assigned to the next free ShowSqueeze Node.

Where will the transcoded TV content reside?

You can pull up your ShowSqueezed content in the standard video folders on the SnapStream appliance. All content retains searchability after being transcoded.

Can the SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node convert to codecs other than WMV or H.264?

No, but SnapStream does support third-party transcoding alternatives to provide other needed codecs. Note that the TV content would not retain its search meta data, though the original copy naturally would.

Can I have multiple SnapStream ShowSqueeze Nodes?

Yes, up to 4.

How would I set up the SnapStream ShowSqueeze Node in a cluster configuration?
