December news

The year of 2016 is almost over so prior to posting a year summary we'd like to highlight some significant updates from December.

Live Transcoder

Live Transcoder decoding and encoding capabilities were improved:

• NVENC context caching was implemented for  to overcome some corner cases when using multiple GPUs
• NVidia GPU decoder is now supported in addition to NVENC encoder.
• Software decoder threads are also now available to increase performance.

We've also added an article about setting constant bitrate for transcoding with x264.

This all improves efficiency and overall user experience of our Live Transcoder.

Nimble Streamer

Nimble has interesting update for ABR. You can now add multiple language streams into ABR stream. So you can combine N video and M audio streams for further usage in any player.
