Live Streaming Platforms
The insatiable appetite of streamers
They want nonstop, never-ending, high-resolution, non-buffering content everywhere. And they want it NOW!
Fueled by the pandemic, viewers have developed an addiction to continuous streaming and binge viewing. The average American spends more than 13 hours a day using some type of digital media. That’s more than half the day spent streaming, listening, and gaming. To support this accelerating rate of consumption, streaming platform providers must increase transcoder hardware investments, build more data centers, and boost energy consumption.
Global live streaming market will 2x in 4 yrs: $1.23 bil in 2022 - $2.61 bil by 2026.
Market Growth Factors:
5G internet’s low latency and rapid adoption of live streaming via social media are driving factors with OTT streaming in developing countries expected to grow highest
Market Restraining Factors:
Rising concern related to content piracy and protection hinder expansion.

Smart VPU
We created a new category of Smart VPUs to disrupt the previous limitations of video encoding for surveillance platforms. It is unique because it’s dense, cost effective, flexible, and AI-powered making it the smart technology for platforms to cut streaming costs 80% and hyper-scale profitably.
Smart VPU Trifecta
Highest Density
You can install 20 or more VPUs into a single server, minimizing your data center footprint.
Lowest Cost
VPUs deliver more streams per device than CPU or GPU, which translates to the lowest available cost per stream (CAPEX).
Lowest Power
Smart VPUs consume a fraction of the energy of other technologies, minimizing OPEX and carbon emissions.
NEW FEATURE
All upside, no downside.
Dynamic bitrate reduction during live broadcast preserves bandwidth, cost and quality.
Bandwidth is a significant cost for live-streaming productions. Capped CRF is a bitrate control technique that reduces the bitrate of easy-to-encode footage while “capping” the bitrate of hard-to-encode footage so it doesn’t exceed the designated cap. You save bandwidth on the easy sequences and transcode harder sequences at existing bandwidth and quality levels. Smart VPUs watch your bottom line, so you don’t have to.
Mosaic display for conferencing
Smart VPUs efficiently scale in hardware using the FFmpeg Xstack filter, enabling customizable and responsive multi-window mosaic displays with minimum CPU utilization.
Real time feels real
Logan and Quadra products deliver positive user experiences with their low latency capabilities.
