Building an 8k encoder + live streaming platform
summary
Claims an end-to-end, broadcast‑quality 8K pipeline built from off‑the‑shelf parts and deployable to public cloud off-the-shelf in under 10 minutes. Uses a Ryzen Threadripper 3990x (64 cores 128 threads), Blackmagic DeckLink 8K capture (four 4K inputs), NVidia GPUs (Quadro or GTX 1650 Super), FFmpeg/SVT encoders, and AWS Origin/MediaStore with HLS/DASH packaging. Prototype attempts show 8K 60fps contribution encode and simultaneous 4×4K streams, but the live demo hits many technical failures and full end‑to‑end playback is not yet proven.
