New Massif T432 Video Transcoder. Four times the transcode capability in a low power PCIe card

Video content is the #1 source of traffic on the internet. Video is often generated using the ubiquitous H.264 AVC video encoding standard. Meanwhile, newer H.265 HEVC video delivers equivalent quality with up to a 50% reduction in file size and bandwidth requirements, making it the codec of choice for newer video end points and devices. Codensity™ T400 Series Video Transcoders, including the newest T432 and T408 Video Transcoders, deliver scalable video transcoding and encoding ladder generation between H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC formats up to 4K UHD video resolution.

Features

  • Scalable H.264/H.265 Real-time Transcoding
  • 4K UHD resolution @ 60 fps, or
    8x 1080p30 streams in single U.2 module
  • Can generate 4x encoding ladders using multiple codecs, resolutions, and frame rates
  • 80% less power than alternative software solutions
  • Easy integration with FFmpeg SDK, or
    feature-rich API
  • Programmable Region of Interest (ROI)

Benefits

  • Improves Real-Time
  • Transcoding Economics
  • Transcode and transrate live video content
  • Saves Equipment and Rack Space
  • 80% Less Power compared to alternative software transcoding solutions
  • Simplified Integration

FFMPEG

Many video processing and transcoding applications developers are familiar with FFmpeg, an open source software library with a vast suite of video processing functions. The Codensity solution includes a highly-efficient FFmpeg compatible SDK, requiring operators to simply apply a FFmpeg/libavcodec patch to complete the integration. The libavcodec patch on the host server functions between Codensity T408 NVMe interface and the FFmpeg software layer, allowing existing video transcoding applications already using FFmpeg to achieve quick and significant performance and capacity upgrades with Codensity T408 and Massif T432 Transcoders.
