igolgi, a leader in audio/video processing technologies, has introduced the newest iteration of its iLux Live Transcoder platform, designed to meet the escalating needs of live Over-The-Top (OTT) transcoding. This platform marks a significant advancement in channel density and energy efficiency, offering up to 160 HD channels or 80 channels of Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR), powered by igolgi's sophisticated codec algorithms on CPU/GPU platforms. The innovation reduces power consumption per channel by 85%, presenting a greener solution for the industry.
The iLux Live Transcoder is engineered for quick setup with any live inputs and supports live adaptive streaming, utilizing igolgi's cutting-edge H.264/HEVC/AV1 encoding technology.

Jeff Cooper, igolgi CEO, emphasized the platform's role as a turnkey solution for diverse live OTT production scenarios, highlighting its potential to save operators significant space, power, and costs.
Available in 1U or 2U appliance forms, as a software license for COTS servers, and compatible with major cloud providers, the iLux Live Transcoder's software-defined architecture allows for multifunctional operations and system reconfigurations, ensuring adaptability and longevity. It supports transcoding or encoding any IP-based signal to another IP format internally and, with optional interface cards, can process SDI or ASI signals. The platform also includes an integrated OTT packaging and Origin server, facilitating the transformation of content from satellite, broadcast, or IP networks for ABR delivery.
This development is pivotal for the live streaming sector, where the demand for high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective solutions is ever-growing. The iLux Live Transcoder's introduction by igolgi not only sets a new benchmark in live OTT transcoding technology but also underscores the company's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the digital media landscape.
