Choosing Transcoding Hardware: Deciphering the Superiority of ASIC-based Technology
Robinson’s analysis from the recent symposium makes a compelling case for ASIC-based transcoding hardware. Robinson’s metrics prioritized viewer experience, power efficiency, and cost.
Argos for the Rest of Us – With AV1
When Google announced the ASIC-based Argos VCU in 2021, the trade press rightfully applauded. Of course, here at NETINT, none of these benefits were particularly surprising. We’ve been shipping ASIC-based transcoders since 2019.
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 Part of the inertia relates to outdated concerns about the shortcomings of ASICs, including sub-par quality and lack of flexibility to add features or codec enhancements.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
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,
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.
From CPU to GPU to ASIC: Mayflower’s Transcoding Journey
Ilya’s transcoding journey took him from $10 million to under $1.5 million CAPEX while cutting power consumption by over 90%. This analytical deep-dive reveals the trials, errors, and successes of Mayflower’s quest, highlighting a remarkable reduction in both cost and power consumption.
