RECOMMENDED ENTRY-LEVEL HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The MCM-9000 uses the standard Intel CPU-based servers. The monitoring capacity depends on the selected CPU model and memory setup.

Hardware capacity is calculated in units of SD channels. Each certified server receives an "x" amount of SD units. For example, Intel Dual Xeon Gold 6140 has 310 SD Units.

Required Capacity = (# SD channels) X 1 + (# HD channels) X 5 + (# mosaic outputs) X 20

Monitoring of each SD channel requires 1 SD unit.
Monitoring of each HD channel requires 5 SD units.
Monitoring of each Contribution HD channel requires 10 SD units.
Monitoring of each HEVC channel requires double the points above.
Monitoring of each UHD H.265 channel requires 60 SD units.
Monitoring of each Uncompressed 1.5G or 3.0G channel requires 5 or 10 SD units, respectively.
Creation of each *Different* H.264 or Uncompressed mosaic requires 20 SD units for HD and 40 SD units for UHD.

Capacity calculations are based on dual processor platforms with an optimal memory installation. The number of modules is critical (regardless of memory size.) It is highly important that the setup be as stated above and that memory modules be identical. Other memory setups may result in capacity/performance reduction.

Note: Please ensure that the CPU and Mellanox (if used) temperature does not exceed 60 Degrees. If it does, there will be a degradation in server performance.

Other Intel CPU modules could be supported, however, please consult with TAG’s Support Department (support@tagvs.com) for approval of the CPUs and Network Cards, prior to any hardware purchase.
