Charged with supporting very high-volume live transcoding, Ilya moved from libx264 software (high power, low density) through GPUs to an ASIC-based solution with much lower power and much higher stream density per server. He details the costs, power, and density of all options and offers an evaluation framework.
Brazil’s DTV Plus rollout gave LCEVC something new video technologies rarely get: a commercial reason for the whole device ecosystem to support it.
Rising cloud costs, data sovereignty rules, and latency demands are pushing video teams to reconsider the hyperscaler default.
Cutting encoding OpEx by 50% or more with a VPU is the easy win. Making it work in production is where most streaming projects actually get hard.
