Take a look to OpenVidu Docs

If you have adaptativebitrate=true (default value) every camera will be transcoded in the server.

If you have adaptativebitrate=false and the camera codec is H.264’s Constrained Baseline profile and OPENVIDU_STREAMS_FORCED_VIDEO_CODEC=H264 is configured (OpenVidu Docs) then no transcoding will take place in OpenVidu reducing the CPU usage.
