PCIe Transcoding Card Requirements
For virtual SBC (vSBC) deployments, you can install an Artesyn SharpMedia™ PCIe-8120 media processing accelerator with either 4, 8, or 12 DSPs in the server chassis in a full-height, full-length PCI slot to provide high density media transcoding.
Compatibility between the PCIe-8120 card and the SBC is subject to these constraints:
- VMWare and KVM are supported
- PCIe-pass-through mode is supported
- Each vSBC can support 2 PCIE 8120 cards and the server can support 4 PCIE 8120 cards.
- Each PCIe-8120 card supports only one vSBC instance
- Do not configure transcoding cores for software-based transcoding when using a PCIe media card.
