Argos dispels common myths about encoding ASICs

Even in 2023, many high-volume streaming producers continue to rely on software-based transcoding, despite the clear CAPEX, OPEX, and environmental benefits of ASIC-based transcoding. Part of the inertia relates to outdated concerns about the shortcomings of ASICs, including sub-par quality and lack of flexibility to add features or codec enhancements.
How NETINT enables ASIC upgradeability with Software  - interview with Neil Gunn and Savio Lam

How NETINT enables ASIC upgradeability with Software

ASICs provide tremendous energy efficiency and yet suffer from being fixed function with limited programmability. This was a core engineering challenge that we addressed in the development of the Codensity ASIC family with upgradeable firmware that can be used for a variety of purposes, including adding new features and improving coding performance and functionality.
Understanding the Economics of Transcoding - an article by Jan Ozer from NETINT Technologies

Understanding the Economics of Transcoding,

Transcoding is one of the most expensive production-related costs and the ultimate determinant of video quality, so obviously plays a huge role on both sides of this equation. This article identifies the most relevant metrics for ascertaining the actual cost of transcoding. Then, it uses these metrics to compare the relative cost of the available methods for live transcoding.
