Introduction
The SharpMedia™ PCIE-8120 is a media processing accelerator enables high density voice and
video processing to be integrated into a rack mount server or other network appliances that
feature standard PCI Express slots. The PCIE-8120 is an Octasic Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
based PCI Express card running Vocallo MGW firmware.
The SharpMedia PCIE-8120 acceleration engine can take the place of additional servers when
adding high density voice and video processing to an application.The PCIE-8120 card is
designed for applications such as session border controllers (adding voice or video transcode),
Media gateways, Media servers/media resource function, video/content optimization
(transcode and transrating), video communications servers, and interactive voice and video
response systems.
The SharpMedia PCIE-8120 brings high density DSPs with embedded voice and video firmware
from Octasic together with Artesyn’s strong embedded system and thermal design skill,
resulting in an industry-leading media processing density for the next generation of voice and
video processing systems.
The following are the key features of PCIE-8120:
High performance media processing core, based on power efficient DSPs.
Comprehensive voice and video processing firmware and programmers interface
included.
Optional 2 x GbE ports (RJ45) with network address translation (NAT) function for direct
network attachment providing server off load.
Support for 720p and 1080p video conferencing (each DSP has 2 x 1Gb/s data path).
Designed for NEBS level 3 and ETSI telecom standards compliance when used in a suitable
carrier grade enclosure that provides sufficient airflow.
Supports Opus (used by WebRTC) and SILK (used by Skype) audio codecs.
