Maximum Concurrent Captures

Maximum Concurrent Captures
Use this table to determine the resource requirements for capture workflows executing
concurrently on a Lightspeed Live Server, based on the codec and profile you've
specified in the Capture action. When ingesting multiple concurrent feeds, the CPU
load is automatically balanced across both NUMA nodes/CPU sockets.
Note: CPU utilization should not exceed 75%; 60 percent or less is recommended.
Contact Telestream support
encounter situations where the load is not balanced across both nodes/sockets or
exceeds 75%. Also see
balancing.
Caution: You shouldn't route more than six 10-bit, 59.94 SDI sources to a server,
whether you're capturing them or not—over time, it degrades performance. If all
8 sources are 1080p 59.94 progressive, two of them should be switched to Force
8-bit or they should be a lower frame rate than 59.94 FPS.
