igolgi has announced the launch of its newest iLux Live Transcoder platform, marking a significant advancement in live OTT transcoding technology. This platform is designed to meet the escalating demand for high-quality live video streaming by offering up to 160 HD channels or 80 channels of Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR), a feat achieved through igolgi's sophisticated codec algorithms on CPU/GPU platforms. The innovation doesn't stop at capacity; the platform also reduces power consumption per channel by an impressive 85%, setting a new standard for energy efficiency in the industry.
Jeff Cooper, igolgi CEO, highlighted the platform's turnkey solution for various live OTT production scenarios, emphasizing its potential to save operators space, power, and costs amidst the global surge in video streaming. The iLux Live Transcoder is not only about efficiency and capacity but also about ease of use and quality. It can be set up in minutes for any live inputs and streaming, leveraging advanced H.264/HEVC/AV1 encoding technology to deliver professional-quality video. The inclusion of 2-pass encoding algorithms ensures outstanding video quality at the lowest possible bit rates, enhancing the viewer's experience while minimizing bandwidth usage and CDN hosting costs.
Available in 1U or 2U appliance forms, as a software license for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, and compatible with most cloud providers, the iLux Live Transcoder offers versatility and future-proofing. Its software-defined architecture allows for simultaneous functions and system reconfiguration, accommodating any IP-based signal for transcoding or encoding to other IP formats internally. With the option to add up to 4 interface cards, the platform can also process SDI or ASI signals, making it a comprehensive solution for content transformation from satellite, broadcast sources, or IP networks for ABR delivery.
