Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of SharpStreamer™ Pro Mini PCIE-7210-1card, its
features and applications, hardware and software overview, standard compliance, and
ordering information.
The Artesyn SharpStreamer™ Pro Mini PCIE-7210-1 is a high performance video accelerator
card offers High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video transcoding services quickly and
dynamically. As an add-on card, PCIE-7210-1 offers quick and scalable integration with
MaxCore™ and standard or Rack Mount Server (RMS) architectures to meet the demands of
broadcasting and gaming.
With a focus on the high density and low power demands of video streaming applications such
as Over-the-Top (OTT) streaming servers, mobile network optimization, video conferencing
and broadcast equipment. Artesyn employs Intel® Xeon® E3-1578Lv5 (codename Skylake-H)
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerated device in half length PCI Express card footprints
that are easily deployable in off-the-shelf platforms. The PCIE-7210-1 CPU is capable of up to
eight (8) streams of 1080p30 H.265 HEVC transcodes, or four (4) streams of 1080p60 H.265
HEVC transcodes. The CPU offers one (1) 4Kp60 HEVC, or up to two (2) 4Kp30 HECV
transcodes.
The SharpStreamer™ Pro Mini PCIE-7210-1 solution is easily deployable, portable, and does
not constrain operators to a single type of equipment to monetize 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, PCIE-
7210-1 requires far fewer servers and much less operational cost to power video transcoding
services.
