VPUs are Built for Modern Video Infrastructure

As video volumes grow, resolutions increase, and workloads diversify, infrastructure – not the application – has become the primary scaling challenge.

NETINT VPUs enable 10x more streams per server while reducing compute overhead, power consumption, and operational cost.

Video Encoding at Scale

Video infrastructure demands measurable density and efficiency, not incremental CPU scaling. A 1RU Quadra Video Server supports:

  • 320 1080p channels
  • 1,000 SD streams
  • 80 4K streams
  • Less than 500 watts with host
  • AV1, HEVC, H.264

Video is Scaling Faster than Infrastructure

Explosive growth in video volume and resolution
More content, formats, and higher resolutions increase processing demand 

Unpredictable cloud and compute costs
Software-based transcoding scales linearly, VPUs scale cost-effectively

Inefficient resource utilization across CPU and GPU
Video processing competes with other workloads, reducing system efficiency 

Rising power, rack space, and cooling constraints
Scaling with general-purpose compute increases operational 

Fragmented workflows and inconsistent encoding pipelines
Multi-vendor complexity in codecs, profiles, and formats

Live and on-demand workloads converging at scale
Platforms must support both real-time and batch processing

AI workloads competing for compute resources
Inference and video processing create bottlenecks driving unnecessary cost

Real gains across efficiency, density, and cost

Modern video workloads demand more than incremental gains. As resolution, codec complexity, and stream volumes increase, traditional GPU-based encoding becomes increasingly inefficient, driving up power consumption, rack density, and operational overhead. NETINT VPUs are purpose-built for video, delivering deterministic performance and significantly higher efficiency while maintaining consistent quality across modern codecs.

In real-world deployments, this translates into measurable infrastructure advantages: up to 4.7× better energy efficiency, 4× higher encoding density, and 50% lower power consumption, all without compromising video quality. The result is a more scalable and predictable video pipeline, enabling operators to reduce cost per stream, simplify capacity planning, and support growth without proportional increases in infrastructure.

Where NETINT Changes the Economics

Storage Optimization at Scale
Transcode and normalize video after ingestion to reduce storage footprint without changing existing workflows or source formats.

Efficient Proxy Streams for Monitoring
Deliver low-bitrate proxy streams for operations, QC, and monitoring while preserving full-resolution video for distribution and archive.

Video Pre-Processing for Scalable Workflows
Pre-process and optimize video before downstream processing to reduce bandwidth, compute load, and overall infrastructure cost.

Offload for Scalable Infrastructure
Move encode and decode workloads off general-purpose compute so video pipelines scale predictably and efficiently.
