IIS Transform Manager is an extensible media transform engine that enables "watch folder" job submission, queuing, management, integrated media transcoding/transmuxing, and batch-encryption of on-demand audio and video files.
One example of a media transform is transcoding Windows Media-formatted and MP4-formatted files, or other encoder-supported file formats, to on-demand Smooth Streams for delivery to Smooth Streaming-compatible clients (such as Silverlight).
Another example is transmuxing Smooth Streaming fragments encoded with H.264 (AVC) video and AAC-LC audio codecs to MPEG-2 Transport Stream (MPEG-2 TS) segments for delivery to Apple mobile digital devices.
Transform Manager can be integrated with the IIS Smooth Streaming feature in IIS Media Services, which delivers the "transformed" content.
Transform Manager integrates directly with Expression Encoder 4 and will allow you to use “watch folders” to queue up multiple encode jobs on your server and deliver them directly to IIS Media Services 4.0 Web folders as IIS Smooth Streaming presentations, complete with Silverlight player templates.
Transform Manager has been designed and tested for the following scenarios:
· Convert existing content library. Using the integrated Expression Encoder 4 task, transcode an existing content library of Windows Media Video (WMV) or MP4 files and schedule for multiple-bit rate (MBR) encoding to the IIS Smooth Streaming file format. Using this workflow, you can set up watch folders that point to existing content, transcode, and deliver full Smooth Streaming and Silverlight player experiences to your Web server.
· Constant ingest /  transcode. Create a new watch folder that allows an incoming run rate of up to 100 files per minute to be queued and encode to Smooth Streaming file format with the integrated Expression Encoder 4 task, using a configurable preset and a Smooth Streaming player template. This scenario assumes files continuously arrive at the watch folder at a fairly constant incoming rate.
· Transmux to Apple HTTP Live for on-demand. Drop existing Smooth Streaming presentations into a watch folder to batch-transmux the Smooth Streams to MPEG-2 TS format and convert the Smooth Stream manifest to an .m3u8 playlist file, enabling delivery from the IIS Smooth Streaming module in IIS to Apple mobile devices.
· Task-chaining. Create custom job templates that combine multiple tasks into a unique workflow.
· Custom tasks. Use the Transform Manager Task API to create custom tasks that integrate third-party encoding applications, media processing, asset upload, or Web services into the workflow.
