Scaling Video at the Edge: A Practical Roadmap

Voices of Video ·

2025/12/04

Viewers won’t wait for your pipeline to catch up. This episode breaks down a practical roadmap for scaling video at the edge - where power limits, bandwidth costs, and live latency collide. With Advantech’s rugged, modular platforms (https://www.advantech.com/) paired with NETINT’s low-power, high-density ASIC encoders (https://netint.com/), we show how to move the heavy lifting closer to the camera and away from cloud bottlenecks - without compromising quality or operational control. Based o...

The New Economics of Transcoding: How VPUs Unlock...

Voices of Video ·

2025/11/27

What if transcoding stopped being the constraint and became the engine behind your content strategy? In this episode, Arcadian’s Joe Waltzer and Josh Pesigan explain how Video Processing Units (VPUs) are transforming the economics and timing of video workflows—and why the real win isn’t just lower cost, but the freedom to experiment, iterate, and ship smarter. We start with a reality everyone in streaming understands: massive back catalogs sit on shelves because cloud transcoding costs erase ...

Tired of choosing between ripping out your video stack or standing still? In this episode, Kenneth Robinson, Director of Field Application Engineers at NETINT, walks through a practical playbook for deploying Video Processing Units (VPUs) at any stage of growth - from retrofitting a live server to scaling across edge, cloud, and hybrid environments. We start with hardware options that match real-world use cases: • T1U hot-swap modules that slide into existing servers - no downtime requi...

Cameras miss moments; fans don’t. We wanted every decisive peek, every clutch revive, and every chaotic final ring in Apex Legends to be watchable from any team’s perspective - live, synchronized, and affordable. That meant rethinking how we transcode and distribute dozens of POV streams at once without drowning in startup lag or compute spend. We walk through how Scalstrm integrated NETINT VPUs at a low level to pack up to 20 live channels onto a single card, slashing both costs and boot tim...

What if your heaviest video jobs spun up in seconds, sipped power, and scaled wherever your viewers are? In this episode, we run NETINT VPUs inside Akamai Cloud and push them across live and just-in-time workflows—multi-codec ABR (AV1/H.264/HEVC), synchronization, DRM, and low-latency packaging included. We start with deployment trade-offs: on-prem cards (control like a tuned sports car), cloud resources (on-demand like a taxi), portable containers, and Kubernetes for orchestration and autosc...

2025/10/30

Ever notice how interactive video feels great one moment and laggy the next? We dig into why - and what it takes to make streams feel as immediate and fair as a top-tier multiplayer game. Coming from a gaming-first background, we talk candidly about round-trip latency, jitter, and why 30 ms one way is the magic threshold for experiences where people don’t just watch, but participate. We walk through the hard lessons of early cloud gaming, from capex-heavy builds to routing realities, and show...

What if a hardware roadmap could read like a myth? We take Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey and map it to a concrete engineering pivot - from life in the ordinary world of CPU/GPU encoding to a high-density, power-efficient future with NETINT’s Codensity G5-based VPUs. We talk through the initial reluctance to touch specialized hardware, the mentors and SDKs that changed our minds, and the exact moment we crossed the threshold by installing drivers, testing real inputs, and pushing the cards...

What if video finally got its own processor, and your streaming costs dropped while quality and features went up? In this episode, we dig into the rise of the Video Processing Unit (VPU) - silicon built entirely for video - and explore how it’s transforming everything from edge contribution to multi-view sports. Instead of paying for general-purpose compute and GPU graphics overhead, VPUs put every square millimeter of the die to work on encoding, scaling, and compositing. The result is surpr...

2025/10/09

Live video is exploding, power budgets are shrinking, and the old “throw more GPU at it” mindset is breaking. We dig into the real constraint behind streaming at scale - energy - and share new data showing how VPUs can deliver 4–6x better efficiency than top-tier GPUs while holding quality where viewers notice it most. From the early days of CPU-only encoding to a modern, hybrid stack, we walk through the architecture that lets us stream more for less power without cutting corners on quality....
