The Coming Data Tsunami
The world is experiencing unprecedented growth in video and imagery data, driven by traditional factors like mobile consumption, IoT proliferation, and expanding demand. This is normal and expected. However, we are now on the cusp of something far more significant. The proliferation of AI and computer vision technologies is creating an exponential surge in demand for video and image data that threatens to overwhelm existing infrastructure. AI models require massive datasets for training, while computer vision has become the primary input for revolutionary technologies like autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics. This is not just another wave of digital transformation - it is the beginning of a crisis in data transmission, storage, and cost that will impact every sector and industry.
Current networks and cloud infrastructure were not designed for this scale of data movement and storage - As organizations rush to implement AI solutions and autonomous systems, they are discovering that traditional approaches to video handling are inadequate.
The challenge is not just about managing more data; it is about fundamentally rethinking how we capture, transmit, share, and store visual information in a world where AI's insatiable appetite for data is choking bandwidth and budgets globally.
Reticulate Micro, Inc. | 4220 Duncan Ave., Ste. 201, St. Louis MO 63110 | 5 | |
www.reticulate.io | [email protected] | 866-70-MICRO |
VAST is the Solution
We believe the VAST Video Platform is more than a solution - it's a technological breakthrough that transforms this looming crisis into an opportunity. Our VAST product family is built around a revolutionary software-based AV1 video encoder that fundamentally changes the economics and possibilities of video data handling. What makes VAST unique is its incredible adaptability - it is engineered to work on almost any x86 or ARM hardware platform, from data centers down to low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) devices like Raspberry Pi, while maintaining exceptional compression ratios, quality, and scalability across deployments of any size.
This is not just about the AV1 video codec; VAST is a comprehensive encoding solution that can stream video over any network, even in the most challenging conditions like low-bandwidth satellite networks, fragmented 4g/5g terrestrial networks, and even legacy terrestrial and SATCOM networks.
VAST's capabilities as an encoder extend far beyond basic video compression. We have built a system that fully supports industry standards across a range of critical use cases, including KLV metadata (MISB601), and incorporates advanced features like transcoding, restreaming, video-on-demand (VOD), and video management system (VMS) functions. This comprehensive approach allows us to not only solve immediate video transmission challenges but also create unique solutions for specific customer needs.
Real-World Impact
The impact of VAST technology is immediate and measurable. Organizations can reduce their bandwidth requirements by 30-50%, significantly cut storage needs, lower the cost of ingressing and egressing video, and even leverage unused legacy networks for video transmission. But the true potential goes even further. Our technology can be integrated directly into AI data pipelines, optimizing both ingress and egress of the video and image data critical to AI and computer vision workflows.
In healthcare, we can transform the handling of DICOM (medical imagery such as CT scans, MRIs etc), making it easy and affordable to store even more patient data. For autonomous systems, VAST enables real-time video processing of multiple concurrent sensor inputs at the edge while minimizing data transmission requirements.
As we move into an era where visual data becomes the primary input for both human, robotic, and artificial intelligence systems, VAST's capabilities become increasingly critical. Our technology is not just solving today's video challenges - it is enabling the next generation of AI-driven innovations while ensuring that the infrastructure supporting these advances remains sustainable and efficient.
Reticulate Micro, Inc. | 4220 Duncan Ave., Ste. 201, St. Louis MO 63110 | 6 | |
www.reticulate.io | [email protected] | 866-70-MICRO |
The future of video processing is not about hardware-dependent solutions or isolated compression algorithms. It is about creating an adaptive, intelligent ecosystem that can handle the enormous scale and complexity of tomorrow's visual data needs. VAST is leading this transformation, providing the foundation for a future where the exponential growth of video data becomes an opportunity rather than a crisis.
Why VAST?
Power Through Simplicity: In today's technology landscape, AI-powered solutions dominate the video processing market. While competitors rush to build complex AI- based transcoders and encoders - using AI to feed AI - VAST takes a radically different approach. We have created an elegantly simple, highly optimized software solution that challenges conventional wisdom about video processing.
Efficiency at Scale
VAST's power lies in its ability to do more with less. While other solutions demand expensive GPU farms, servers, and specialized hardware, VAST can operate anywhere including in the margins of computing power.
● | Our software is so efficiently engineered that it can run on a Raspberry Pi with the same effectiveness as solutions requiring an Nvidia Orin - a 2,492:1 difference in computing power. In real-world terms this means that VAST can run almost anywhere and does not require GPU farms or exotic hardware to support video operations even on a large scale. |
● | This efficiency translates directly to our power consumption, requiring just 1/13th of the energy compared to modern GPU-based alternatives. This performance portends significant ROI for customers. |
Maximizing Existing Infrastructure
This efficiency creates remarkable opportunities:
● | Network Optimization: We can utilize unused bandwidth and legacy networks never designed for video, effectively doubling the video capacity of existing infrastructure |
● | Computing Freedom: By operating in the lower margins of compute power, we free up high-value computing resources for their intended purposes - AI, analytics, and mission-critical applications |
● | Universal Deployment: Our solution runs on existing infrastructure without requiring exotic hardware upgrades or specialized systems - we can deploy anywhere |
