The IntelR Media Server Studio (IntelR MSS) is a cross-platform (Windows and Linux) application programming interface (API) for developing professional video applications on video platforms equipped with IntelR Quick Sync Video hardware. IntelR MSS effectively uses the GPU to offload transcoding tasks from the CPU, significantly accelerating video processing speed and reducing CPU resource loading.
ADLINK MediaManager software, which expands on the functionality of the IntelR MSS by providing additional media building blocks to handle common media processing tasks not natively addressed by the IntelR MSS Library, including container file operations (mux and demux), Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) receiving/streaming, video composition, and pipeline samples for video streaming, video analytics and video conferencing.
As shown in the following table, ADLINK Media Cloud Server (MCS-2040/MCS-2080) plus MediaManager provides a fully validated ARiP that can be used to accelerate the development of popular media applications on the server side. Customers developing fully functional media applications will no longer need to write software from scratch to manage the media processing challenges.
