Elemental Technologies is a US company with revolutionary video encoding technology that uses GPU acceleration and common hardware to achieve the equivalent of super-computing power and hyper-parallel processing in the field of video encoding.

Elemental enables a new level of price / performance in video encoding. For example, 32 parallel SD streams or 12 parallel HD streams can be encoded simultaneously at speeds exceeding real time (and above 400 frames per second for SD) – on one server! In addition, Elemental servers can be clustered for automatic failover and nearly infinite scalability.

Sairis is the first authorized distributor of Elemental Technologies’ products in Japan and Asia. There are two Elemental products: Elemental Server for bulk encoding and Elemental Live for live encoding. Please contact us for estimates and demos. Elemental Server is available as an ASP solution within VideoCloud.
