VVCR allows users to utilize hardware-accelerated or software transcoding for cloud instances.
Hardware-accelerated or GPU Transcoding encodes video at higher speeds and power efficiency than software or CPU-based transcoders while maintaining an equivalent quality.
GPU-transcoding is only available with the g4dn instance type series. It is automatically enabled when you create the instance VVCR. You do not need to adjust any settings.
