NETINT, Supermicro, and Ampere joined forces to design a live video encoding server capable of processing 300 simultaneous channels, demonstrating how the combination of specialized hardware and optimized system design can scale professional broadcasts with efficiency and reliability

The approach is based on hardware encoding accelerators to reduce CPU load and improve latency, high-density chassis to maximize the space-to-power ratio, and efficient processors to sustain continuous workloads. This architecture enables handling complex codecs at scale without sacrificing quality or incurring disproportionately higher operating costs

On the software side, stacks based on tools such as FFmpeg and containers are used, orchestrated to distribute and balance streams across multiple nodes, with real-time monitoring and redundancy to ensure continuity in critical broadcasts. The integration of AI engines for live analysis, automatic subtitling, and content detection significantly enhances the value proposition

Q2BSTUDIO brings expertise in custom software development and tailored applications for streaming and media projects, offering solutions ranging from hardware encoder integration to workflow automation and the deployment of custom AI agents that optimize operations and resource management

We offer AWS and Azure cloud services to deploy hybrid or public cloud infrastructures, with architectures that scale from pilot tests to deployments of hundreds of channels. Our team ensures cybersecurity and compliance practices to protect content, access, and sensitive data during transmission and storage

For companies looking to extract value from their broadcasts, we combine business intelligence and Power BI services to create dashboards that correlate audience metrics, encoding performance, and operating costs, enabling data-driven decisions and continuous optimization

Our capabilities in artificial intelligence and enterprise AI include models for content classification, anomaly detection in streams, automatic transcription, and metadata generation, as well as AI agents that automate repetitive tasks and improve the end-user experience

If your goal is to build or modernize a high-density streaming platform, Q2BSTUDIO can design custom software, integrate encoding hardware, manage cloud migration, and secure the platform with cybersecurity best practices.
