SAN DIEGO & VANCOUVER, British Columbia - nvtip -- MainConcept, the global leader in video and audio codec software solutions, and NETINT, a leader in ASIC-based video processing solutions, today announced a collaboration to bring NETINT Video Processing Units (VPUs) to the MainConcept Easy Video API (EVA). The integration extends EVA's unified API to include dedicated VPU acceleration alongside existing GPU and software-based workflows.

MainConcept EVA provides a unified API to control both hardware and software codecs through a single interface. It enables faster integration, reduced development effort, and flexible deployment across diverse infrastructures. EVA supports GPUs from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, and now extends to NETINT VPU-based encoding and decoding capabilities.

NETINT VPUs are purpose-built ASIC-based video processing units designed for high-density, energy-efficient video transcoding in data center environments. With this integration, MainConcept AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, and AV1 libraries support hardware-accelerated encoding on NETINT VPUs, with AVC/H.264 and HEVC/H.265 decoding also supported.

Unlike GPUs, which are general-purpose parallel processors, VPUs are dedicated to video workloads, enabling higher stream density, improved power efficiency, and predictable performance per stream. With NETINT support, EVA customers gain additional deployment options for large-scale streaming, OTT, and cloud transcoding applications.

"MainConcept's decision to bring NETINT VPU support into the Easy Video API is a milestone for the video infrastructure ecosystem. As stream counts grow and energy costs rise, operators need higher density and better power efficiency than general-purpose hardware can deliver," commented Mark Donnigan, CMO at NETINT. "When a technology partner with MainConcept's track record makes VPUs a first-class citizen alongside GPUs, customers gain a seamless on-ramp to dedicated hardware video processing without custom integration and forklift upgrades. This is a win for the video ecosystem and platforms needing to scale."

"Video workflows today run across a growing mix of hardware platforms, and customers need flexibility without added engineering burden," said Deacon Johnson, President and CEO of MainConcept. "With EVA, we remove the complexity of hardware acceleration across GPUs and now VPUs, while maintaining performance parity with native implementations. The addition of NETINT support validates our approach of delivering professional codecs through a unified, scalable API."
