Telestream G7 Lightspeed® Server

Telestream G7 Lightspeed® Server is a 1RU GPU-accelerated processing server built for Telestream Vantage Transcode and Post Producer workflows. From the supplied source, the system combines dual Intel 4214R processors, 96GB of RAM, and a single NVIDIA GPU to speed up demanding video processing and H.264 transcoding jobs.

This is the kind of server that makes sense when a facility needs more throughput from Vantage without building a larger CPU-only transcode farm. The G7 is designed to handle scaling, deinterlacing, frame-rate conversion, motion-vector calculation, 16-bit YUV processing, and accelerated encoding inside a compact rack-mounted chassis.

Why It Helps

This server is useful when Vantage jobs are being held up by image-processing stages before the encode is complete. Deinterlacing, scaling, standards conversion, motion analysis, and frame-rate changes can all use a lot of compute power, especially when several files are moving through the workflow at once.

The NVIDIA GPU takes on much of that processing load, leaving the CPUs with more room to handle the rest of the workflow. That helps improve throughput for transcoding and automated content assembly without requiring more rack space.

The storage and network layout also suit shared production environments. Dual 1.92TB media SSDs provide local working space, while four 10GBase-T ports give the server multiple high-speed paths into shared storage, media networks, or other Vantage nodes.

System Characteristics

• GPU-accelerated deinterlacing for cleaner interlaced-to-progressive conversion
• Advanced image scaling for up-conversion and down-conversion workflows
• Frame-rate conversion acceleration for standards conversion and inverse-telecine work
• 16-bit 4:4:4:4 YUV processing for high-quality image and color handling
• Accelerated x264 encoding for H.264 delivery across different bitrates
• NVENC HEVC support for compatible Vantage transcoders
• Dual redundant power supplies for rack-based production environments
• Qualified Fibre Channel and Ethernet adapters for expanded facility integration
