NETINT Technologies Inc.
NETINT Technologies develops silicon solutions for ultra-high-density video encoding and processing in the data center. We are the creator of a new hardware encoder category, VPU (video processing unit), combining hardware efficiency with software flexibility and quality. With NETINT VPUs, a 1RU server can encode or transcode 160 1080p60 AV1, H.264, or HEVC broadcast-quality live streams at a 90% lower TCO than software running on the CPU. Use cases where VPUs are deployed include mobile cloud gaming, live game streaming, video conferencing, remote desktop, high-density social video streaming, live OTT streaming, and AR/VR services. NETINT is a VC-backed company of silicon innovators passionate about building solutions that leave an indelible mark on the world. Our offices and R&D facilities are in Vancouver, Toronto, and Shanghai. With our compact ASIC-powered video transcoders and VPUs, video services, and streaming platforms can reduce TCO and upgrade density and performance by an order of magnitude without replacing servers.
