Page 198: Lightspeed Live Capture Resource Calculator
Lightspeed Live Capture Resource Calculator Lightspeed Live Capture Resource Calculator Lightspeed Live Capture uses a variety of codecs and format containers to encode live video into media files. At the simplest level, Lightspeed Live Capture consists of customizable workflow actions that automate the live capture process. A workflow is the mechanism you create that takes an incoming live source and encodes it into one of many available codec and container formats.
Page 199: Browser Operation Is Not Included In Usage Calculations
Browser Operation is Not Included in Usage Calculations Telestream recommends that you connect to the Lightspeed Live Web Applications from browsers running on client machines, and not to run browsers UIs directly on the Lightspeed Live servers. This avoids additional decoding load for the Live Web app’s preview displays on the Live Capture servers.
Page 200: Calculating Your Resource Usage Capacity
Calculating Live Capture Resources Lightspeed Live Capture Resource Calculator Calculating your Resource Usage Capacity Use the processing resource charts below to determine whether your Lightspeed Live server can process all of your desired Live Capture workflow's video codec requirements. The charts are organized based on input signal type and list available codecs used with each input type.
Page 201: Resource Use Factor (Ruf) Charts
Calculating Live Capture Resources Lightspeed Live Capture Resource Calculator Resource Use Factor (RUF) Charts Use the following charts to determine your Resource Use Factor (RUF) for Live Capture. The charts provide the typical RUF for each codec. The total of all of your concurrently active workflow Resource Use Factors must be less than or equal to one (1) RUF, which is the maximum process handling load that you should place on each Lightspeed Live server.

Capacity for Capturing Uncompressed Media Via 3G-SDI Inputs Lightspeed Live Capture can capture Uncompressed SD or HD in 8-bit or 10-bit via the 3G-SDI inputs. Several factors determine what your Lightspeed Live Capture system is able to reliably capture. Use the chart below to calculate the Resource Use Factor (RUF) when capturing Uncompressed.
