    Rich Media Conversion Project (RMCP) Web Interface




    :: OVERVIEW ::

    The Rich Media Conversion Project (RMCP) is a feature rich web-based system for encoding and publishing rich media for web access. It significantly simplifies the process of getting audio, video, text and other rich media formats into highly compressed and streamable formats suitable for web delivery. It makes content available by:
    • direct URL link to the individual content item,
    • URL to a user-defined catalogue of content items, or a
    • URL to a RSS 2.0 / iTunes valid XML file suitable for Podcasting (iTunes) or syndicating to a news feed reader.
    This interface should only be used with a broadband (DSL/Cable/LAN) connection, and should NOT be accessed using a dial-up (56k or slower) connection. Wi-Fi users should be aware that signal strength and speed may be limited and/or vary by location. File uploads should be limited to under 500 MB in size.

    Authorization is required. You must register with IRT before using this application. Please use our online registration form.

    The Rich Media Converter/Syndication Web Client will launch in a separate window. You may need to allow pop-ups from this site if you are blocking them. Your browser must have JavaScript enabled, and must accept cookies.
