Run media workloads on our managed cloud fleet or deploy workers anywhere - on-premise, public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), private cloud, or hybrid environments. Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD acceleration supported.
Connect your storage, boot a worker node with a single command, then submit and monitor jobs in the web dashboard. The control plane handles the rest.
Configure your private S3 bucket credentials once in the web portal. Workers access your media directly via pre-signed URLs - your content never passes through Transcoder's infrastructure.
Deploy workers anywhere: on-premise racks, public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure), private clouds, or bare metal. A single bootstrap command automatically registers the agent, detects hardware (NVIDIA/Intel/AMD), and starts polling.
Launch transcoding tasks directly from the web interface. Our intelligent router assigns the job to the best-available GPU or CPU worker and streams real-time status updates.
Purpose-built for engineering teams running video and audio at scale - not a wrapper around someone else's cloud encoder.
Automatically compiles the right FFmpeg flags for NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QuickSync (QSV), or AMD VAAPI. Full hardware-accelerated codec pipelines for H.264, HEVC (H.265), VP9, and AV1. Supports dynamic fallback to CPU libraries if drivers fail.
If all dedicated workers are offline, the platform automatically routes jobs to our managed fleet - zero job failures. GPU hardware failures mid-transcode trigger instant software-encoder recovery without restarting.
Workers stream CPU, GPU core, VRAM, memory, and active job count every 30 seconds. The dashboard renders live sparkline visualizations. Job progress events push over WebSocket - no polling required.
Output production-ready adaptive bitrate streams: HLS .m3u8 and DASH .mpd manifests with
optimized resolution ladders in one job definition.
Ingest, resolve, and deliver caption tracks dynamically. Supports hardcoded
Burn-in filters, Embedded soft subtitles within MP4 containers, or
decoupled Sidecar .srt & .vtt assets delivered
straight to your target storage buckets.
Complete, immutable traceability of every admin action, job submission, storage access, and system event. Full timestamps, actor identity, and before/after state for every mutation.
Workers communicate outbound-only over HTTPS - no inbound ports, no VPN, no firewall changes. Your media stays in your own S3 buckets or Wasabi buckets. Swap cloud providers or go fully on-prem anytime.
Extract audio tracks from source videos or transcode high-fidelity podcast feeds. Native support for AAC, MP3, OPUS, and lossless FLAC formats with custom channel mapping, sample rates, and bitrates.
Configure S3 storage buckets, select multi-language caption tracks, and customize resolution ladders visually from a unified web interface. Deploy workers anywhere (on-premise, public/private clouds, or bare metal) and start transcoding in minutes.
| Hardware Vendor | Acceleration Technology | Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA | NVENC / CUDA | Ultra-fast H.264, H.265 (HEVC), VP9 & AV1 hardware encoding |
| Intel | QuickSync (QSV) | Optimized QSV encoding/decoding (H.264, HEVC, AV1) |
| AMD | VAAPI | High-throughput encoding (H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1) |
| CPU | libx264 / libx265 / libsvtav1 | High-fidelity fallback mode (libx264, libx265, libsvtav1, libvpx) |
Live sparkline metrics stream from every worker every 30 seconds. Billing uses second-precision transcoding durations - not rounded minutes.
Whether you're a startup reusing idle GPUs or an enterprise keeping content inside your own network perimeter.
Process bulk VOD uploads into multi-bitrate HLS streams with optimized resolution ladders. Route to NVIDIA workers for maximum throughput on GPU-intensive H.265 encodes.
↓ Up to 70% vs managed servicesLeverage idle GPU capacity on your own servers. Run massive video & audio pipelines with zero compute surcharges from Transcoder - telemetry and orchestration are billed under the flat base platform fee.
$0 compute surcharge on dedicated workersDeploy dedicated workers inside your VPC or on-prem rack. Source media files access private S3 buckets via strict bucket policy isolation. Workers communicate outbound-only - no ports opened.
✓ Zero inbound ports requiredRun on-prem workers for baseline load and burst to Platform Fleet during live events - managed from the same Worker Panel. Intel QSV and AMD VAAPI workers supported alongside NVIDIA.
✓ All three GPU vendorsTranscoder separates orchestration from compute. You pay a monthly base fee for platform coordination, telemetry streaming, audit logs, and management, while running workers on your own infrastructure is entirely free of compute surcharges.
