Overview

Product video
GPU-accelerated, production-grade sub-second live streaming on AWS. The GPU Edition moves transcoding off the CPU and onto NVIDIA hardware encoders, so your live pipeline can scale density and reach without saturating compute.
Hardware-Accelerated Transcoding, Built In. The GPU Edition of OvenMediaEngine Enterprise is designed for live workflows where transcoding is the bottleneck. Instead of relying on CPU-based encoding, it uses NVIDIA NVENC to encode and decode in dedicated hardware, freeing CPU cores to handle ingest, session routing, packaging, and delivery. The result is a streaming server tuned for high-density, low-latency transcoding on AWS.
Why the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise on AWS for GPU?
-
Hardware Transcoding
Encoding and decoding run on the GPU's dedicated media engines rather than the CPU. This separates transcoding load from the rest of the pipeline, helping your server sustain more concurrent ABR renditions at sub-second latency while keeping CPU headroom for ingest and delivery. -
H.264 and HEVC (H.265) Output
Generate both H.264 and HEVC renditions with hardware acceleration. HEVC delivers comparable visual quality at lower bitrates, which helps reduce egress bandwidth and improve the experience for 4K and high-resolution live streams, without adding CPU transcoding cost. -
Sub-Second Latency, Preserved Under Load
Offloading transcoding to the GPU helps keep latency stable as channel count grows. Deliver WebRTC and SRT at sub-second latency and LL-HLS under three seconds, with granular control through the Web Console to standardize the viewer experience. -
Built for Integration, Automation, and Live Operations
API-based control lets you automate channel creation, stream management, recording, and operational tasks, so your team can run GPU-backed live infrastructure consistently and repeatably. -
Scale with Traffic and Pay by the Hour
Launch from AWS Marketplace as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on NVIDIA GPU instances in minutes. Scale up for live events and campaigns, scale down when demand drops, and align cost with real usage through hourly billing. -
Enterprise-Ready Foundation for Commercial Deployment
Built for production with advanced security, high availability, and long-term operational stability in mind. Commercial licensing and compliance options are available.
Best fit for teams running transcoding-heavy live workloads, multi-rendition ABR, or HEVC delivery that need hardware-accelerated encoding with sub-second latency on AWS.
CPU or GPU Edition? This is the GPU Edition, using NVIDIA NVENC/NVDEC to transcode H.264 and HEVC in hardware. It is best when transcoding density, HEVC output, or CPU offload is your priority. If you need CPU-based transcoding with x264, check out the CPU edition instead: OvenMediaEngine Enterprise on AWS: Sub-Second Latency Live Streaming Server .
Upgrade and Licensing Options If you need any of the following, we recommend direct licensing or an AWS private offer:
- Custom feature development or deep workflow customization
- Committed pricing, volume commitments, or enterprise procurement support
- Dedicated support response, SLA options, or architecture guidance
Instance Selection. This product runs on NVIDIA GPU instance families (for example, G6e, G6, G5, and G4dn). Choose an instance based on your transcoding density and resolution requirements.
Pricing. Hourly software charges apply while the instance is running, in addition to standard AWS infrastructure costs.
Deployment. Delivered as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Launch, configure, integrate, and start streaming on AWS.

Highlights
- Hardware transcoding with NVENC. Encode and decode on NVIDIA media engines instead of the CPU, so your server sustains more concurrent ABR renditions at sub-second latency while keeping CPU headroom for ingest and delivery.
- H.264 and HEVC (H.265), hardware-accelerated. Produce HEVC renditions for comparable quality at lower bitrates, helping cut egress bandwidth and serve 4K and high-resolution live streams without added CPU transcoding cost.
- Production-scale operations with confidence. Advanced security, high availability, and API-driven automation help teams run mission-critical, GPU-backed live streaming reliably, scale with demand, and align cost with usage through hourly billing.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
