Meet The VPU Integrator at IBC 2026 NETINT VPU Ecosystem Booth Hall 1 — 1.D49
Arcadian is on the NETINT stand for all four days. Come and talk to the engineers who put VPUs into production.
You already know about the AWS Tax
Nobody walking the floor at IBC needs convincing that cloud transcoding is overpriced. You've seen the invoice. You've done the arithmetic. NETINT named the thing precisely: a tax on transparency, inertia and success — pricing that looks simple on the surface and behaves like a black box in production, on the one workload whose bill grows every time you win.
So the interesting question isn't whether you're paying it. It's why you're still paying it.
It is almost never the business case. Moving encode is an integration problem: it reaches into ingest, packaging, orchestration, QA and delivery — the systems your team is already responsible for keeping on air. The case for change is usually sound. What's scarce is the integration capacity to act on it.
That is the entire job Arcadian does. We are NETINT's integration partner: we map the workflow you already run, engineer the connections between hardware, software, cloud services and on-prem infrastructure, and build only what has to be built to get you to production.
What's waiting on the other side of that work is NETINT's Smart VPU™ silicon:
simultaneous 1080p 30 streams from a single 1RU server
the output of a CPU-based encoding server in the same rack space
lower cost per stream than software encoding on general-purpose servers
per 1080p stream, against roughly 9.4 W on CPU
Source: figures published by NETINT and Quadra Video Server specifications.
Getting off the tax isn't a bespoke project. It's an integration project — and that's ours.
What to talk to us about on the stand
The hybrid path
Moving transcode off AWS doesn't mean leaving AWS. What stays, what moves, and in what order.
Where a VPU changes your economics — and where it doesn't
Compute, density and power are the levers. Egress and storage are a different problem, and we'll tell you so.
The AV1 transition
Whether that's a next-year problem or a now problem for your catalogue.
What a parallel pilot looks like
VPU-accelerated encode running beside your live pipeline, on standard tooling, touching nothing in production until you say so.
Thirty minutes, with the engineers who do the work. Not a slide deck.
Book a meetingWho you'll meet
Joe Waltzer
Founder and CEOAsk about: build vs. rent, and how the VPU business case reads to a CFO.
Mark Karpus
VP, EngineeringAsk about: integration reality — what breaks in production, and how it gets tested.
Grygorii Kylypko
Principal Software Developer - APIAsk about: orchestration and APIs, and fitting VPUs to the control plane you already have.
Mark Lay
VP, Business Development & MarketingAsk about: where to start, what a first phase looks like, and what it costs.
The rest of what we run
These aren't a side business. Running transcode, QA and viewer support for media companies every day is precisely why we can be trusted to rebuild the compute layer underneath them.
Let's meet at IBC 2026
Hall 1, Stand 1.D49 · 11–14 September 2026 · RAI Amsterdam. Tell us what you're working on and we'll hold a time during show week.
