The Brutus GPU Eco is a real-time multichannel device that is able to transcode streams into bit rates and protocols that are best suited for the targeted viewing devices. It is designed to be scalable, easily adaptable, customizable, and field upgradeable to meet the needs of broadband network operators who are now more than comfortable with Linux® based appliances. We have also optimized the transcode engine to get the best possible efficiency from each core.
