Installing Software on the Media Services and Media Services Provider Servers
51
Installing Multiple Transcode Providers on the Same Server
Interplay Transcode v3.0 and later is qualified to run as multiple instances on the same server.
Up to four providers are supported, depending on the total amount of CPU used.
Determining the Number of Providers to Install
To determine the optimum number of providers to install on a server, check the system resources
currently used for your Transcode workflows. Open the Task Manager and click the Performance
tab to display information about CPU usage. When jobs typical to your workflow are running,
note the average percentage of CPU used. The following illustration shows a Transcode job in
process that is using 14 percent of the CPU.
Use the formula
100/CPU Usage Percentage
to estimate the number of providers you can use.
For example, if the average CPU usage is 25 percent, you can use four Transcode providers on
the server. The maximum number of providers supported on a single server is four.
n
Complex mixdowns require much more memory than transcoding. If your workflow involves
complex mixdowns you should install a maximum of two providers on the same server.
