Beamr Supercharges NVIDIA NVENC to Accelerate Content-Adaptive Video Encoding by 10X
Summary
Beamr, the leading developer of content-adaptive video encoding technologies, today announced an integrated solution that combines Beamr’s CABR (Content Adaptive BitRate) rate control with the NVIDIA NVENC hardware video encoder. The new solution is 10x faster for the same encoding quality, resulting in immediate associated cost savings when running Beamr CABR on NVIDIA GPUs in the Cloud. Beamr’s patented, Emmy® award-winning CABR engine enables reducing the bitrate of video streams by up to 50% over the current state of the art encoders without compromising perceptual quality. We selected the NVIDIA NVENC hardware video encoder due to its high quality and extreme performance, and are grateful to the NVIDIA team for working closely with us on adapting the NVENC APIs to enable frame-level access to the video encoding engine.” “NVENC has been adopted for a wide variety of use cases from video editing tools to virtualization hypervisors, user-generated content and cloud applications,” said Andrew Page, director of advanced technologies in the professional visualization group at NVIDIA. Founded in 2009, Beamr maintains offices in Los Gatos, CA, Herzliya, Israel, and St. Petersburg, Russia.
