The utilization of GPU and CPU resources also depends on the source format. The algorithms behind different formats differ quite a lot and RAW formats are often processed with native SDKs e.g. Source and Destination Format: The different media formats of source and destination will result in different transcoding speeds.

So testing identical format combinations on different machines will usually result in different transcoding speeds.

Computer hardware Machine: The Mac used for the speed tests determines the available hardware resources for the transcoding.

The following factors play or can play a role in the assessment and comparability of transcoding speeds: Factors for the Assessment of Transcoding Speeds The comparison of transcoding speeds to existing, other applications is one of the first steps to get closer to an answer.įor a meaningful comparison we have to consider a list of factors that have impact on the transcoding speeds. But of course the users and interested customers deserve an answer to it.

Throughout all development phases we have always been asking ourselves the question: “ How fast is the transcoding in Silverstack Lab? Will it be the fastest transcoding software there is for DITs?”Ī generic answer to that question is almost impossible due to the many factors that influence transcoding speed. While Silverstack 6.0 already got a new and faster transcoding pipeline, optimizations went on for the subsequent “dot releases” (6.1 and 6.2). We knew that the speed of proxy creation is a crucial requirement for the DIT and her/his responsibility to create dailies on set.

One of the design goals for Silverstack Lab has always been a fast transcoding engine, not to say we wanted to make the fastet transcoding software for DITs.
