Platform Feature
Managed Media
Processing
GPU, CPU, and Restreamer — three built-in processors. Deploy on your VMs or use managed instances.
NVENC
GPU Processor
NVIDIA hardware encoding. 10-50x faster than CPU. Supports H.264, H.265, AV1. VOD and Live.
NVIDIA T4 / RTX 4000+
4K to 360p in ~3 min (1hr content)
HLS adaptive bitrate
VOD + Live transcoding
FFmpeg
CPU Transcoder
Software-based encoding. Cost-effective for VOD. All codecs. Runs on any VM.
Any x86_64 VM (no GPU required)
8-core: ~45 min for 1hr 4K
All FFmpeg codecs supported
Port 3005, systemd managed
Live
Restreamer
Live stream re-encoding and relay. RTMP/SRT ingest, HLS output. 20 concurrent streams per instance.
RTMP & SRT ingest
HLS output with adaptive bitrate
20 concurrent streams
Port 3005, systemd managed
Adaptive transcoding ladder
Every video is transcoded into multiple quality rungs. HLS adaptive bitrate selects the best for each viewer.
