The optimal hardware for H.264 encoding is pretty close to a superscaler, OOOE processor with a wide integer vector unit. Unsurprisingly, newer SSE variants are quite fast and enable things that ...

If your streams keep stuttering, the problem might not be your internet speed—it could be your hardware. By offloading video encoding to a dedicated GPU or hardware encoder, you can free up your CPU ...

Choosing the right GPU encoder can make or break your streaming experience, affecting quality, latency, and system performance. Modern hardware encoders like NVENC, QuickSync, and AMF have closed the ...

Consumers expect quality video experiences at the touch of a button. Without live streaming encoders, though, this wouldn’t be possible. Streaming encoders are an essential tool for transporting live ...

The video encoding hardware built into GeForce GPUs is getting a small boost, according to a quietly updated Nvidia support page (as spotted by Tom’s Hardware). Previously, the NVENC encoder built ...

If you've ever done any livestreaming on the internet, then you already know that one of the most important technical aspects of doing so is properly configuring your stream settings. Your selection ...

In brief: Intel has had a rough time launching its freshman series of dedicated graphics cards, struggling to get them to consumers on time and possibly with unimpressive results in gaming benchmarks.

A new Radio World ebook explores “The Software-Based Air Chain.” This is an excerpt. Nielsen’s Audio Software Encoder decouples the company’s PPM encoding algorithm from the hardware encoder and ...
