April 20, 2015 – ADLINK Technology introduced MCS-2040 dedicated media server with built-in media processing management software, offering 6x the performance of pure software transcoding solutions and reserving more than 80% of CPU capacity for customer applications. Based on dual 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors or Intel® Xeon™ processor E3-1200 V3, the MCS-2040 Media Cloud Server targets video applications such as surveillance with video analytics, video conferencing used in remote education & healthcare environments, and IPTV content delivery networks (CDNs) as a transcoding server.
The MCS-2040 offers the high performance and efficiency of a dedicated media server without dominating CPU load availability. Its built-in MediaManager software offers enriched features above those of the Intel® Media Software Development Kit (Media SDK) supported by, but not included with, other dedicated media server options. As an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solution, the MCS-2040 helps further speed time-to-market for customers by mitigating technical risks and reducing development time through provided MediaManager software capabilities.
The MCS-2040 offers four compute nodes is a 2U 19” form factor. Each node offers two independent systems communicating via Gigabit Ethernet (GigE); dual 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors or Intel® Xeon™ processor E3-1200 V3; 4 DIMMS with up to 32GB DDR3 memory (16GB/system); quad GbE RJ45 (two/system); 4 hot-swappable 2.5” SATA drive bays; a PCI Express (PCIe) slot reserved for I/O expansion to integrate 3rd party SDI, FC, and Ethernet cards; 2x 1600W redundant power supplies; and MediaManagersoftware to round out the application-ready intelligent platform (ARiP).
ADLINK’s MediaManager expands on the functionality of Intel®Media SDK by providing additional modules to handle common media processing tasks not natively supported by the Intel Media SDK API, including mux/demux of media container files, RTP receiving and streaming, video composition, and audio processing.
