GPU Transcoding and Custom Transcoder Interface

[ttwin]

Hi,
1. When and what type of GPU transcoding will be available since we are looking for the streaming server that can use large scale GPU transcoding such as Nvidia CUDA
2. Do you have any plan to allow custom transcoder via native java interface

Thanks and Best Regards,

Good day.

1. When and what type of GPU transcoding will be available since we are looking for the streaming server that can use large scale GPU transcoding such as Nvidia CUDA

We working on ticket WCS-2437 to prepare NVIDIA CUDA transcoding to production usage. Will let you know in this topic.

2. Do you have any plan to allow custom transcoder via native java interface

We have no such plans yet. Now, it is possible to get raw decoded frame in YUV format and modify it by implementing custom Java interface class. But, in this case, picture encoding is also done on our side.
If this is not enough for you, we raise a ticket to check if we can do what you need.

Hi,

I am interested to know what is the progress on GPU-based encoding and WCS-2437. Can you provide an update?

Thanks.

Now, GPU transcoding is on testing and debugging stage. It's not ready yet for production use. Please be patient.

Good day.
Since build 5.2.2022, WCS supports hardware acceleration using NVIDIA GPU while decoding and encoding video. See details here: Hardware acceleration support for video transcoding
