Agile Live hardware examples
The following hardware specifications serve as examples of how much can be expected from certain hardware setups. The maximum number of inputs and outputs are highly dependent on the quality and resolution settings chosen when setting up a production, so these numbers shall be seen as approximations of what can be expected from a certain hardware under some form of normal use.
Hardware example #1
| System Specifications | |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7 12700K |
| RAM | Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 |
| Graphics Card | NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB |
| PSU | 750W PSU |
| Motherboard | ASUS Prime H670-Plus D4 DDR4 S-1700 ATX |
| SSD | Samsung 980 NVMe M.2 1TB SSD |
| Capture Card (Ingest only) | Blackmagic Design Decklink Duo 2 |
One such server is capable of fulfilling either of the two use-cases below:
- Ingest server
- With Proxy editing: ingesting 4 sources (encoded as 4 Low Delay streams, AVC 720p50 1 Mbps and 4 High Quality streams, HEVC 1080p50 25 Mbps).
- With Direct editing: ingesting 6 sources, (HEVC 1080p50 25 Mbps).
- Production server, running both a High Quality and a Low Delay pipeline with at least 10 connected sources (i.e. at least 20 incoming streams), with at least one 1080p50 multi-view output, one 1080p High Quality program output and one 720p Low Delay output.
Hardware example #2
| System Specifications | |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7 12700K |
| RAM | Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 DDR5 |
| Graphics Card | NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation 20GB |
| PSU | 750W PSU |
| Motherboard | ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero DDR5 ATX |
| SSD | WD Blue SN570 M.2 1TB SSD |
| Capture Card (Ingest only) | Blackmagic Design Decklink Quad 2 |
One such server is capable of fulfilling either of the two use-cases below:
- Ingest server
- With Proxy editing: ingesting 6-8 sources (encoded as 6-8 Low Delay streams, AVC 720p50 1 Mbps and 6-8 High Quality streams, HEVC 1080p50 25 Mbps).
- With Direct editing: ingesting 8-10 sources (HEVC 1080p50 25 Mbps).
- Production server, running both the High Quality and the Low Delay pipeline with at least 20 connected sources (i.e. at least 40 incoming streams), with at least three 4K multi-view outputs, four 1080p High Quality outputs and four 720p Low Delay outputs.
