Flagship platform

Run the complete media workflow with Engine

Engine connects media processing, subscriber access, delivery, and day-to-day operations without stitching together separate control panels.

Live, VOD & DVB

Manage live sources, Movies, Series, Episodes, DVB adapters, and SoftCAM workflows.

Transcode & remux

Use CPU, Intel QSV, NVIDIA NVENC, and multi-GPU processing from one interface.

Deliver at scale

Coordinate origins, CDN nodes, load balancing, playback access, and traffic limits.

Operate with evidence

Track system health, media traffic, connections, audit events, and capacity tests.

Why Engine is the flagship

Engine delivered the matched workload with roughly 1.8× the CPU efficiency

A same-host fixed-player test compared the complete Engine platform with the separate Codec product. HLS quality was verified independently; HTTP-TS stability remains outside these claims.

~1.8× CPU efficiency

Codec required about 1.8 times Engine's CPU after normalizing by received-player workload and delivered media.

~22× lower baseline RSS

Engine began the matched run with about one twenty-second of Codec's scoped process memory.

~9× lower response P99

Both products completed HLS without request errors or freezes; Engine's response-header P99 was about nine times lower.

Same verified HLS stability

Both products retained their full HLS share with zero observed request errors and zero freezes.

Decision point	RecommendedX Acceleration Engine	X Acceleration Codec
Primary role	Complete media operations and delivery platform	Established transcoding-centered platform
Media workflow	Live, VOD, DVB, SoftCAM, transcode, remux, and outputs	Live transcoding, remuxing, and output workflows
Acceleration	CPU, Intel QSV, NVIDIA NVENC, and multi-GPU	QuickSync and NVENC product editions
HLS performance	Full HLS share retained with zero request errors or freezes; response-header P99 was about 9× lower	Full HLS share retained with zero request errors or freezes; startup P99 was about 1.18× lower
Delivery CPU efficiency	About 1.8× the efficiency when normalized by received-player workload and CPU-seconds per GiB	About 1.8× Engine's CPU cost for the normalized delivery workload
Memory footprint	About 22× lower baseline RSS; Codec's sampled load peak was about 1.35× Engine's	Higher baseline and sampled-peak RSS across the scoped product processes
HTTP-TS delivery	Delivered the full fixed share; response-header P99 was about 17.7× lower in the observed run	Delivered the full fixed share at about 1.05× Engine's aggregate HTTP-TS media rate
Delivery & scale	Per-server tiers provide 200–2,500 active streams, 1,000–25,000 connections, and 1–25 Gbps delivery bandwidth	Scale is primarily determined by CPU/GPU transcoding capacity and the external delivery or CDN layer
Subscriber operations	Users, packages, accounts, resellers, sub-resellers, and playback control	Established user, package, and reseller workflows
Operational insight	Modern telemetry, audit log, maintenance, API, and capacity assessment	Familiar Codec monitoring and management tools
Best fit	New deployments and teams consolidating their streaming stack	Existing Codec environments and focused processing requirements

Benchmark scope: Ratios are derived from a short, same-host internal run with a fixed equal-player workload. CPU efficiency was cross-checked using received-player estimates and CPU-seconds per GiB. Both products completed HLS with zero request errors and freezes. HTTP-TS delivered media on both products, but its playback clock recorded no player-time, so this page makes no HTTP-TS stability claim. Baseline and sampled-peak RSS use each product's scoped processes; post-test RSS is excluded because idle times differed. These are comparative observations, not capacity guarantees.
