Page 23: Ii-1. Delivery Performance Of Servers
MEDIAEDGE Technical Manual Ver4.10 II-1. Delivery Performance of Servers The most important feature of the MEDIAEDGE Server is its delivery capabilities. Performance, which is measured by the amount of streams it can simultaneously deliver to clients, is indicated by the sum of the video bitrate of contents. -
Page 24: Ii-1-1. Network Interface (Nic)
MEDIAEDGE Technical Manual Ver4.10 ■ II-1-1. Network Interface (NIC) Based on the performance of the NIC, the total bitrate of the contents that can be delivered simultaneously from the server varies. Factor Description Notes Link speed Actual speed of the linked 1000Base-T: Up to 500Mbps network interface. -
Page 25: Ii-1-2. Disk
This may not become a problem if there is sufficient space remaining on the disk. Capabilities of HDD used in MEDIAEDGE When high delivery performance or a RAID 5 level reliability is not required, a standard ATA-HDD can be used. - Page 26 Low speed devices, i.e. CD-ROM, eat up more band pass of the bus than the actual transfer rate, therefore when copies are made from CD-ROM to the hard disk on the server during delivery on MEDIAEDGE, problems, i.e. distorted playback images or live recording cannot be executed correctly, are seen more frequently.
-
Page 27: Ii-1-3. Cpu
To avoid this problem, keep the maximum load on the CPU to 99% or lower. When jumps are performed frequently, the CPU load increases. When you open or operate the Server console with the browser on the MEDIAEDGE Server, the CPU load increases. -
Page 28: Ii-1-6. Checking The Load On The Server
1. Video that is played back on the client Check for video noise and delay. You can also gain some information by checking the playback condition status on the MEDIAEDGE-STB4/STB4H/HDMA-4100 Web Console. 2. CPU load Check the CPU load. If it reaches 100% even temporarily, performance may degrade. Run the Task Manager and also check the load on each CPU. -
