Socionext begins to provide H.264 video encoder based on AWS
Socionext Inc, a leading manufacturer of SoC design and application technology. ("Socionext" below) announced that it has successfully developed a high-speed, high-quality video encoder "H.264 Encoder on AWS" based on Amazon Web Services ("AWS"). Video distribution service providers can use "H.264 Encoder on AWS" to greatly shorten the video production to delivery cycle by about 70% without affecting the video quality, effectively controlling costs while increasing the quality of service and the quantity of video content.
"H.264 Encoder on AWS" is a video encoder that runs on AWS's Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) F1 instance. It uses the most common H.264 encoding standard to meet the high requirements of video distribution services. Quality compression and high-speed processing.
AWS F1 instances use FPGAs to implement custom hardware accelerated delivery. H.264 Encoder on AWS uses FPGA on F1 instances to provide users with accelerator equipment developed based on Socionext's proprietary hardware encoder technology to complete high-speed, high-quality video compression processing that cannot be achieved by soft coding. In addition, because H.264 Encoder onAWS uses FFmpeg as an application interface, video distribution service providers can easily integrate it into existing systems.
