Challenges

Anevia* provides software for TV operators to encode video. These operators are impacted by the cost of hardware infrastructure and quality of video being delivered. As such, any improvement in performance translates to being able to transcode:

(1) More video channels in parallel at the same quality or
(2) Same number of video channels at lower bit rate, which saves costs. Hence customer is always seeking to get the best possible performance out of their hardware.

Solution
With 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, Anevia* is able to achieve up to 22%1 2 3 more live HD services compared to previous generation, due to improved memory bandwidth and the new Vector Neural Network Instructions. These new instructions helped more HEVC services to be transcoded, than without.
