What’s X Acceleration Engine?
X Acceleration Engine manages live streams, VOD, subscribers, and media delivery across one or more servers.
- Content: manage Streams, DVB, SoftCAM, Movies, Series, and Episodes. Use CPU, Intel QSV, or NVIDIA NVENC for transcoding.
- Subscribers: create Users and Packages, assign Bouquets, and control playback access.
- Delivery: manage servers, balance traffic, and monitor connections, bandwidth, and service health.
Some features require a higher license plan.

Common Questions
Is Engine Just Codec With a New Interface?
No. Engine is a separate product with its own services, API, and license.
Why Does Engine Define More Limits Than Codec?
Each plan sets capacity per machine. These limits do not change Codec licenses.
What Happens to Codec?
Existing Codec licenses remain valid. Codec continues in long-term maintenance with bug fixes.
Must Existing Customers Migrate?
No. Migration is optional. A seven-day Engine trial includes all features.
Can Both Products Run on One Server?
Yes, if ports do not conflict and the server has enough resources. Keep the Codec configuration if you may need to return to Codec.
