Fast GPU-accelerated video coding server from Elemental Technologies

Elemental server called yesterday as a beta computer presented the 4 graphic processors (GPUs) and two CPUs in harbors. He uses GPU NVIDIA CUDA language, to the videos of the graphics processors to compress or transcode to leave (ie from one format to another will) - a fundamental and processor-intensive task for video sites like YouTube, where every hour, thousands of videos from various formats in a uniform format to be recoded. GPUs are ideal for compressing video particularly well because they are many parallel tasks can abbarbeiten and transcoding of video well in many simultaneous operations is aufspaltbar. The Elemental server processes such as 32 simultaneous video streams (480x270) or four 1080p video. Input formats are MPEG-2, H.264, VC-1, and Raw, output formats H.264 (Baseline, Main, High), VC-1 and MPEG-2 into the container formats F4V, ASF, WMV, 3GPund MP4. Elemental has already provided the GPU-based encoding software "Badaboom Media Converter" and an accelerator for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Later this year, the commercial version of the Elemental server on the market - the price is not yet known.
