The ADLINK MCS-2080 is a so-called "3m" platform with the
m's standing for modular architecture, designed for media,
and mass data processing. The MCS-2080 supports the installation of
either eight 1/4-width dual-system dual-processor nodes (IntelR XeonR processor E3). The XeonR
processor E3 systems have built-in hardware acceleration
units for video processing and are suitable for handling video
transcoding and analytics tasks. The main features of the MCS-2080
are summarized as follows:
16 systems (MCN-1500 compute node)
IntelR Quick Sync Video technology with hardware assisted H.265/VP9 transcoding
Built-in dual redundant switches, each providing 16x1G internal links to compute nodes and 4x10G uplinks
Eight PCIe x8 slots to meet expansion requirements
Support for IPMI 2.0 specification to provide web-based intelligent system management and support for SOL on compute nodes
Adaptive fan speeds to reduce the fan noise and power usage while ensuring system health
Dual redundant power supply units with power health monitoring and abnormal situation alert via IPMI interface
Support for MediaManager to provide prototyping for frequently used video server functions to speed up product development
Support for open source software from OpenStack and Apache YARN ecosystems, a big data-ready platform
The IntelR Media Server Studio (MSS) is a cross-platform (Windows
and Linux) application programming interface (API) for developing professional media
applications, including
video editing and processing, media conversion, streaming, playback,and video conferencing.
The IntelR Media Server Studio (MSS) is designed to provide the fastest possible performance on IntelR CPUs
equipped with IntelR Quick Sync Video hardware. IntelR Media Server Studio (MSS) effectively uses the GPU to offload transcoding tasks from the CPU, significantly accelerating video processing speed and reducing CPU resource loading. Intel Media SDK supports current Intel processors as well as those that will be available in the future. Applications will not need to be redesigned to take advantage of new processor features as they emerge.
The IntelR Media Server Studio (MSS) has extensive video processing capabilities, but it does not provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution for media processing tasks. ADLINK MediaManager fills this gap and provides the following functionality: container file operations (mux and demux), Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) receiving/streaming, video composition, and processing of
audio elements. Customers developing fully functional media applications will no longer need to write software from scratch to perform these operations.
