Telestream G8 Higher Performance Lightspeed® Server

Telestream G8 Higher Performance Lightspeed® Server is a 1RU video-processing server built to accelerate Telestream Vantage Transcode and Post Producer workflows. From the supplied source, the system combines dual Intel 6226R processors, 192GB of RAM, and dual NVIDIA GPUs for compute-heavy image processing and H.264 transcoding.

This is the kind of server that makes sense when a facility needs to move more media through Vantage without relying on CPU processing alone. It is designed for scaling, deinterlacing, frame-rate conversion, motion-vector analysis, 16-bit YUV processing, and accelerated encoding, all inside a compact rack-mount chassis.

Why It Helps

This server is useful when a Vantage workflow is spending too much time on image-processing tasks before the encode even begins. Scaling, deinterlacing, motion-vector calculation, and frame-rate conversion can all demand substantial compute resources, especially when several jobs are running at once.

The dual-GPU design moves much of that work away from the CPUs. That gives the system more processing headroom for demanding conversion jobs while helping facilities increase throughput without building a larger rack footprint.

The storage and network layout also suit shared media environments. Dual 1.92TB media SSDs provide local working storage, while four 10GBase-T ports give the server multiple high-bandwidth paths into a facility network or shared-storage system.

System Characteristics

• 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 output across different bitrate requirements
• NVENC HEVC support for compatible Vantage transcoders
• Redundant power supplies for rack-based production environments
• Qualified optional Fibre Channel and Ethernet adapters for expanded facility integration
