Transcoding Resources

The transcoding resources on a host are hardware transcoder cards and decoder/encoder chips inside those cards. Each decoder/encoder has a certain processing capacity that can handle a limited number of video streams based on resolution and frame rate. The resource management’s tasks are to present inventory and status on available resources and enable resource distribution. User applications can build their own resource management schemes on top of this resource pool or leave this task to the NETINT server for some default simplified resource distribution scheme.
