Real-time streaming experiences like live events, interactive video, cloud gaming, video communications, and virtual worlds are seeing massive consumer adoption. Meeting this demand with CPU-based codecs like x264 is expensive and inefficient, unnecessarily boosting CAPEX, OPEX, and carbon emissions.

The trend for large platforms like YouTube is to build custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits, or ASICs, like Google’s Argos Video Coding Unit (VCU), which according to one report, has replaced over 10 million Intel CPUs in YouTube alone.

While most companies can’t build their own ASIC, NETINT’s Codensity ASIC-powered T408 video transcoder can deliver the same benefits for producers that encode, transcode and process massive quantities of live or interactive streams.

If you believe that video encoding and streaming have reached the limit of technical and economic viability on CPU, and you want to build the future, we are here for you.
