ABR taking too much CPU

[Daniel L]

We all know that ABR takes too much CPU. I've tested AntMedia and it requires a very large machine to hold a single stream with 2-3 ABR profiles (320, 480, 720) with the 1080p source.

If we disable ABR, we can do several live streams at once with the single machine.

I'm looking for a live transcoding service outside AntMedia and still use AntMedia to receive the RTMP and provide the original HLS stream (no transcoding).

Does anyone know of a live transcoding service that could be used in this scenario?

Thank you

Hi Daniel,

If it suits your use case, then you can use GPU for the Adaptive part or can go with a server of higher specifications to support the Adaptive streaming that's needed.
