Video encoding is one of the most challenging problems faced by current video SoC designers due to very high computation complexity and data bandwidth requirements. This challenge gets compounded by a ...

Apple's T2 chip in the Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iMac Pro can greatly speed video encoding, but by how much? Now that Apple has two machines with the same CPU, one with the T2, and one without, there ...

Maya Angelou once said, "You can't really know where you are going until you know where you have been," and so it is with per-title encoding. What began as a one-dimensional data rate adjustment that ...

Live encoding is a different beast. You need low latency, high visual quality, and the ability to handle multiple streams at once-all while staying within compute budgets.” - Mauricio Alvarez-Mesa, ...

As UHD, HDR, live sports streaming, immersive audio and even 8K experimentation move into the mainstream, encoding has become a core business strategy. Broadcasters and streaming providers must ...

Low-cost FPGAs are now making it possible to implement high- performance encoding systems on a cost-effective and low-power FPGA fabric. This enables systems with the right combination of power, ...

Netflix has recently announced that they now stream optimized shot-based encoding content for 4K. When I read that news title I though to myself: “Well, that’s great! Sounds good but… what exactly ...
