    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    Uh, maybe I should upgrade my home Esxi setup (Xeon E3-1240 v2) for this and dump the current E3 as a BlueIris virtual machine. Atleast for the moment. Then maybe upgrade to Dell or HP desktop setup to get the Quicksync. One problem with this is that these must be ordered via Ebay and the...

    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    My setup is also running behind UPS. Thus, I would consider the readout valid. However, now when I think about it the 180W might have been the output load and the actual input load would be ~210W considering the worst case efficiency of 86%... The CPUs are L5335 which are specced for 50W TDP. My...

    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    The current setup, PowerEdge 2950, 4G modem and 8 port PoE switch (i.e. the cameras) draws for approximately 180 watts of power under 50% load. From this ~20 watts goes to PoE so ~150 watts would be a good number for what the PowerEdge draws. Undoubtedly Ivy Bridge would be more power efficient...

    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    Hi, Ok so from what I've found from here and from the official Blueiris support, I think best way would be to upgrade my current desktop PC to a newer one and re-purpose the current i5 3570K Ivy Bridge as a Blueiris machine. Unfortunately it appears Quick Sync cannot be exposed to Blueiris if...

    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    Thanks for the replies. I was aware of the Intel ARK but I was mainly wondering if I could go with Sandy Bridge, for example, as it is the first architecture supporting Quick Sync. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video does mention some differences between the architectures but...

    HW decoding and supported CPUs

    I've got a 6 camera setup running on an old Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 2x Xeon L5335 CPUs, totalling in 8x 2GHz cores. Unfortunate this path seems not to be working as good as I hoped and now it appears there are two options, 1) upgrade to 3GHz CPUs or 2) go with the HW decoding. Unfortunately...
