Core Transcoding

High-density software transcoder for Live and VOD workflows — hardware-agnostic, energy-efficient, and fully integrated across the StreamVX ecosystem.
Same microservices core and codec stack, deployed independently to match the workload — switch to compare Live and VOD.
Four workflows where vxTranscoder eliminates cost, complexity, and vendor lock-in.

vxTranscoder exposes a comprehensive set of transcoding controls. The exact feature set per deployment is agreed individually — contact us to tailor a configuration to your workflow.
vxTranscoder runs on your existing infrastructure — no proprietary hardware required. All three paths deliver the same broadcast-grade performance while minimising energy consumption.
Off-the-shelf x86-64 servers with Intel QuickSync, NVIDIA / AMD GPU, or ASIC acceleration. No new appliances, no refresh cycles. Purchase or reuse your existing rack hardware.
Integrated as a core vxApp within the vxFlex 1RU modular chassis. Combines transcoding, packaging, and reception in a single rack unit. Ready-to-rack, software-defined from day one.
Deploy on GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, Intel QuickSync, or Apple M-series accelerators already in the rack. No fork-lift upgrade — your current hardware, StreamVX software.
vxTranscoder connects upstream signal acquisition with downstream packaging, DRM protection, ad insertion, and quality analytics.
Live & VOD output consumed for HLS/DASH/CMAF packaging, multi-DRM encryption, and OTT origin serving.
Content flows through for Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady encryption with CPIX API key exchange.
Bi-directional integration. Continuously measures VMAF, PSNR, SSIM and feeds recommendations back to auto-optimise encoding profiles.
SCTE-35 markers from vxTranscoder Live consumed for server-side ad insertion into linear and OTT streams.
VOD pre-transcodes ad creatives to precisely match codec, resolution, bitrate, and audio profile of Live stream.
vxTranscoder Live feeds the first statistical multiplexer driven by real-time VMAF prediction — fewer wasted bits, greener broadcasting at scale.
vxTranscoder is operated through the vxOS web console — create channels, build encoding templates, and reuse video profiles without ever touching a CLI.
