Managed Media Processing

GPU, CPU, and Restreamer — three built-in processors. Deploy on your VMs or use managed instances.

§ AThree Processors

Three processors. One pipeline.

P.01NVENC

GPU Processor

NVIDIA hardware encoding. 10-50x faster than CPU. Supports H.264, H.265, AV1. VOD and Live.

  • NVIDIA T4 / RTX 4000+
  • 4K to 360p in ~3 min (1hr content)
  • HLS adaptive bitrate
  • VOD + Live transcoding
P.02FFmpeg

CPU Transcoder

Software-based encoding. Cost-effective for VOD. All codecs. Runs on any VM.

  • Any x86_64 VM (no GPU required)
  • 8-core: ~45 min for 1hr 4K
  • All FFmpeg codecs supported
  • Port 3005, systemd managed
P.03Live

Restreamer

Live stream re-encoding and relay. RTMP/SRT ingest, HLS output. 20 concurrent streams per instance.

  • RTMP & SRT ingest
  • HLS output with adaptive bitrate
  • 20 concurrent streams
  • Port 3005, systemd managed
§ BAdaptive transcoding ladder

Adaptive transcoding ladder

Every video is transcoded into multiple quality rungs. HLS adaptive bitrate selects the best quality.
