Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of SharpStreamer™ Pro PCIE-7210 card, its features and
applications, hardware and software overview, standard compliance, and ordering
information.
The Artesyn SharpStreamer Pro PCIE-7210 high performance video accelerator card enables
service provider networks to offer HEVC video transcoding services quickly and dynamically. As
an add-on card, the PCIE-7210 offers quick and scalable integration with MaxCore server
architecture to meet the demands of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System
Operators (MSOs).
With a focus on the high density and low power demands of video streaming applications such
as OTT streaming servers, mobile network optimization, video conferencing and broadcast
equipment, Artesyn employs Intel® Xeon® E3-1578Lv5 (codename Skylake-H) GPU
accelerated devices in small, scalable PCI Express card footprints that are easily deployable in
off-the-shelf platforms. Each SharpStreamer Pro PCIE-7210 CPU is capable of up to eight (8)
streams of 1080p30 H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) transcodes, or four (4)
streams of 1080p60 H.265/HEVC transcodes. Each CPU offers one (1) 4KP60 HEVC, or up to
two (2) 4KP30 HECV transcodes.
The SharpStreamer Pro solution is easily deployable, portable, and does not constrain
operators to a single type of equipment to monetize Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming content. It
also offers network scalability for increased subscribers to pay as you go, adding more cards
and density from small to large servers as needed. Compared to software-only solutions, the
SharpStreamer Pro PCIE-7210 requires far fewer servers and much less operational cost to
power video transcoding services.
The SharpStreamer Pro PCIE-7210 is equipped with a Software Development Kit comprised of
the Intel® Media Server Studio Essentials runtime files with the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics P580
fixed-function hardware acceleration, monitoring and processor subsystems, O/S, and
management tools for easy integration with server host processing environments.
