Media Acceleration Module Accelerated Media Functions Enable flexible deployment of high performing virtual media functions with the Media Acceleration Module, a generic execution environment with hardware acceleration for demanding media applications. Increased demand for higher quality content such as Ultra HD/4K, VR and 360, together with more distributed production workflows and fhe shift to IP technologies, such as SMPTE ST-2110, means future media networks need to be both more agile and provide more capacity. The Media Acceleration Module, a generic platform for accelerafed media functions, enables flexible deployment of network and media functions in all existing Nimbra MSR networks. It serves as a hardware accelerated environment for the most demanding media applications, such as video encoding, monitoring, media processing and encryption. Improved flexibility with Nimbra Media Functions The Media Acceleration Module is a 1-slot plug-in module for the Nimbra MSR 600 series for flexible deployment of high-capacity media functions. It offers a generic media function execution environment for value-added media and networking functions and can be deployed on any Nimbra MSR 600 unit. With remote software upgrades, the Media Acceleration Module can be configured to run a wide range of different value adding Media and Networking Functions so that the Nimbra MSR network can quickly adapt to new and changing requirements. Flexible deployment of high-performing virtual media functions On-board dedicated hardware acceleration improves quality, performance & density Designed for both native and IP-based media applications Previously, a change of production workflow from uncompressed to compressed, or switching between different compression schemes and video formats required in-field swap-outs to new equipment. With the Media Acceleration Module, any change of requirements is handled by loading another Nimbra Media Function. Centralized software management is supported through the Nimbra SDN Controller for improved operational efficiency. Stay on-top of emerging technologies The media industry is undergoing a large technology shift to IP and cloud-based technologies, and technology update cycles are continuously getting shorter. Being successful means staying up-to-date with the latest technologies, without over investing. The Media Acceleration Module is designed to support a seamless shift to IP based workflows, with support for SMPTE ST-2022 and SMPTE ST-2110 in addition to native broadcast media standards. Hardware acceleration saves rack space and power With on-board support for hardware acceleration and off-loading for demanding time-critical applications, the Media Acceleration Module offers the flexibility of software function virtualization without sacrificing density, quality and power consumption.
