Codensity T408 + The Pelican Video Transcoding platform
How it works
The T408 is an ASIC-based video transcoder module that supports H.264 and HEVC video encoding at up to 4K resolution and with 10-bit HDR. The high throughput of the Pelican Video Transcoding Platform
The Pelican Video Transcoding Platform enables low-latency, real-time 4K video transcoding to meet the live streaming requirements of broadcasters, OTT/IPTV platforms, and surveillance system operators. The Pelican Video Transcoding platform’s advanced encoding capabilities are enabled by the NETINT T408 Video Processing Unit.

Video Encoding with Lowest TCO and Highest Density
OTT video transcoding workflows are typically accomplished utilizing CPU-based software transcoding. Pelican utilizes ASIC-powered NETINT T408 Video Processing Units enabling highly efficient video transcoding workflows. Deploying Pelican in your data center provides a 10:1 reduction in rack space combined with a 95% reduction in operating costs (OPEX).
$1,320,330 operational cost savings per year based on 10,000 live streams.
The Pelican Density Video Transcoding Server utilizes one-fortieth the rack space for the same number of streams as compared with CPU-based video encoders. Pelican Density video transcoders use 80X less energy than CPU-powered video transcoding systems.
