Codensity G4

1st Generation ASIC Video Processing Unit

NETINT’s Codensity G4 ASIC increases encoding density compared to CPU-based software encoding solutions. This expands the number of channels that can be encoded without increasing the rack footprint or sacrificing video quality or latency. The G4 ASIC also reduces power consumption and cooling costs to minimize TCO.  

G4 Chip Architecture

  • 4K Video transcoding with H.264 and HEVC
  • PCIe 4.0 bus interface connects to enterprise servers
