For larger playout centres, you could run multiple instances of this solution in a
processor farm, outputting faster than real time, so costs are saved, too.

processor Farm Frites, Oudenhoorn, the Netherlands, has turned to Kloosterboer Rotterdam BV for construction of a new refrigerated warehouse for storage and processing of products.
For applications with more distributed data flow, a
processor farm can be used.
Its successor, the Grid, would comprise of computing resources linking supercomputers,
processor farms, disks, major databases, collaborative tools and people by a high-speed network.
