Hi Derek,
The HW is now available on Akamai Cloud for public access: https://techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/accelerated-compute-instances
We hope adding the codecs/filters to FFmpeg will aid public cloud users in getting started with these accelerators.

If anyone is interested in accessing some demo environments with the Quadra HW to test out this patch, please email me directly.

The contents of these patches is also available as fork on github: https://github.com/netintsteven/NI_FF_upstream/tree/upstream
