Transcoding
Video transcoding converts streams between formats, bitrates, and resolutions.- GPU: Optional (CPU mode is available, GPU is recommended for throughput)
- Additional software: None beyond
go-livepeer - Typical workloads: Live streaming and VOD transcoding
Realtime AI
Realtime AI pipelines process live video through models with strict latency targets.- GPU: Required
- Additional software: Stream handling components such as
mediamtx - Typical workloads: Live video effects and interactive AI video
Realtime AI setup is more involved than transcoding. Review
box.md
before planning deployment.
Batch AI
Batch AI handles asynchronous inference jobs without realtime latency constraints.- GPU: Required
- Additional software: Pipeline-dependent runtimes
- Typical workloads: Offline processing, analysis, and post-production AI
