Hardware Encoding Architecture For High Scale Video Streaming

At the heart of NETINT T408 and T432 video transcoding solutions is the Codensity G4 Video Engine ASIC. Its architecture uniquely combines on-chip H.264 and HEVC video encoding and processing engines which deliver scalability for video-intensive live streaming applications.

4K Video Transcoder

Today, video is streamed using the ubiquitous H.264 AVC video encoding standard and increasingly the newer H.265 HEVC video encoding standard that delivers equivalent video quality with up to a 50% reduction in file size and bandwidth.

However, H.265 is a more complex codec that requires up to 10x the processing power over H.264. This limits the scalability of software encoding, including GPU-based video processing solutions.

Codensity G4 delivers the flexibility and quality of software with the scalability of hardware.

Flexible Architecture

Many high-performance applications with I/O-intensive requirements can benefit from trade-offs in read/write performance, endurance, capacity, security, and data integrity.

The Codensity G4 SSD controller is based on programmable microprocessor architecture, allowing NETINT engineers to work with our customers to optimize the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) and pipeline processing to your application and system priorities, often leading to large performance increases and increased video quality.

Netint ASIC Codensity G5

PCIe 4.0

Today’s peripheral I/O performance is often limited by the PCIe bus interface between enterprise servers and connected SSD storage modules.

Codensity G4 is one of the first ASIC SoC’s in the market supporting the latest PCIe 4.0 standard, delivering 2X the throughput compared to the slower PCI 3.0 standard.

This enables a 1RU NETINT powered server to encode 40 1080p60 live streams with broadcast quality.

NVMe

Legacy data access protocols, including SATA and SAS, were designed during the hard disk drive era to overcome the large discrepancies in performance between computing and data access.

NVMe was designed from the ground up to unleash the speed potential of solid state non-volatile memory (NVM) technology.

Its streamlined queuing protocol, combined with an optimized command set interface, enables low latency and high performance.
