1.5 to 3.2 watts per channel, 93 to 97% less power than a classic x86 encoder. Up to 320 channels in a single 1U server, instead of racks full of hardware.

How green are your streams? And we don’t mean green encoding artefacts, we mean robust encoders, robust packagers, at watts per channel.

Many encoders are pizza ovens: 90% heat, 10% video. Unless you’re in the pizza business, you’re throwing money away. Twice, in fact: first on power, then on the cooling that has to get rid of all that heat again. Electricity is expensive, and wasted energy is bad for the planet.

Everyone claims efficiency. Look past the marketing and ask for the math.
Below is the summary of our Watts-per-Channel document: power consumption per channel, calculated component by component, including decoding, encoding, packaging and monitoring, and also for adaptive bitrate ladders.
