In this no-fluff episode of Voices of Video, we go behind the scenes with Scalstrm’s Dominique Vosters to hear how they pulled off what most would call impossible: building a fully operational, hardware-accelerated, just-in-time transcoding solution in under six months. From CPU-bound beginnings to a jaw-dropping NAB demo – running 64 live channels and 600 origin streams on a shoebox-sized server – Scalstrm’s story is one of speed, scale, and smart engineering. Dominique shares how ditching open-source components gave them a technical edge, how VPUs opened doors to new markets like hospitality and pop-up channels, and why real customers are already deploying their tech. You’ll also hear how Scalstrm’s origin platform handles over 600 channels per RU, how they support Tier 1 telcos and broadcasters, and where they’re headed next with server-side ad insertion and live event support.
