Vancouver BC - March 16th, 2021. The move to advanced video codecs like AV1 has created a software squeeze as codec complexity is increasing faster than the performance optimization of software encoders. To counter this, NETINT Technologies announced today that it achieved a first for the video streaming industry by unveiling a family of ASIC-based AV1 encoders packaged in a 2.5" U.2 NVMe and PCIe Add-In-Card (AIC) form factor. This unique solution is designed for video operators unwilling to abandon their existing x86 or Arm-based servers in their quest to upgrade from software to hardware video encoding.
