• We use the NVIDIA hardware encoder for real-time video encoding. On a consumer graphics card (and even on a professional graphics card), the number of concurrently used encoders is limited.
• If you plan to use Virtual Machines (VMs) make sure that the GPU and graphics card can be handled by the virtualization stack. VMware provides a commercial option, which allows for splitting of the GPU. HyperV on the other hand, can assign the complete graphics card to one VM, but it cannot share the GPU among multiple VMs.
