Hardware acceleration is changing the economics of video delivery, and Scalstrm is at the forefront of this revolution. After showcasing their just-in-time transcoding solution at NAB, Dominic returns to Voices of Video to share how they've partnered with NETINT to create a groundbreaking platform that's already winning customer deployments.
• Scalstrm built their transcoding solution from scratch without relying on open-source components
• Their migration from software to hardware acceleration took only 3-4 months
• Performance testing showed "huge" advantages using VPU cards over CPU-based transcoding
• The solution supports all major codecs including H.264, HEVC, and has plans for AV1
• They demonstrated 600 channels of origin packaging plus 64 live transcoding channels on a single small server
• Their target customers include tier-one telcos, broadcasters, and content owners
• The platform now includes just-in-time transcoding, subtitle conversion, CDN capabilities, and ad insertion
• Their first live customer deployment is happening immediately following NAB
