Recommended hardware for 1080P live transcoding

dreamer538 dreamer538

Hi,

I'm looking for a substitution for my current MB and would like to get live transcoding of HD channels work for watching over mobile network.

I currently have Intel Atom D525 and it copes well with 1080p streaming without encoding or 576p with encoding.

I'm thinking about two platforms to try:

N3150 or N3700

N3700 seems to be more performant in GPU, though it seems I do not need it.

Does anyone have a system working with these settings?

Will N3150 be sufficient?

Thanks,

Jonathan Thomson

According to "this" the N3150 is way down on the list in terms of transcoding capabilities.

I've got an Intel Core i3-6300 running at 3.8Ghz as I built my box specifically to support TVHeadend and allow me to transcode to multiple clients - might be overkill for you but I'd look a bit higher up the Intel spec sheet if you want more acceptable transcoding performance - at least until TVHeadend fixes their hardware acceleration support.

Take a AMD AM1 board with a quadcore cpu. They are awesome. Great linux gpu drivers build into the kernel! Great speed & low power usage.

If you would like to get it as tiny as possible, get the ASRock AM1H-ITX mainboard. As a CPU take the AMD 5370. If not available get the 5350.
