The "Endeavour S01" platform (henceforth referred to as "S01") requires high-efficiency video encoding capabilities for real-time streaming and archival purposes. libvpx , the open-source software library for the VP8 and VP9 video codecs, offers a royalty-free alternative to H.264/HEVC. This analysis concludes that while libvpx provides excellent bit-rate efficiency and cost benefits, the S01’s specific hardware constraints necessitate a hybrid software/hardware approach or rigorous optimization to prevent CPU saturation. endeavour s01 libvpx
