Broadcasters and content providers are eager to meet viewers' growing demand for the highest possible quality video capture of sports, special events, and celebrations. These high quality 4K streams are usually distributed by high bandwidth delivery mechanisms like satellite links, microwave, or conditioned lines. Downstream there is a need for delivery of this content via the internet at lesser quality. Thanks to its amazing architecture NVIDIA® has emerged as the undisputed leader in encoding and decoding HEVC. The iCandy™ II is one of the best performing implementations of the NVIDIA® chip for encoding, decoding, and transcoding H.265 and H.264.
