Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding in

? What is hardware accelerated video decoding Hardware acceleration makes it possible to shift the video decoding and image scaling from the system’s CPU (and built-in GPU) to multiple NVIDIA® GPUs. This removes the bottle neck set by the hardware to truly maximize the potential of the system. XProtect’s hardware acceleration results in: Significant increase in performance Substential decrease in CPU load Great savings on hardware and overhead costs

XProtect’s hardware acceleration journey Changing the game of video decoding Hardware acceleration in the Smart Client Watch more streams using the GPU built into the Intel CPU using Intel® Quick Sync Hardware acceleration in the smart Client Watch more streams using multiple NVIDIA® cards 2016 2017 R1 2018 R1 2018 R2 Hardware acceleration in the Recording Server Connect more cameras per server using the built-in Intel GPU using Intel® Quick Sync Hardware acceleration in the Recording & Mobile Servers Connect more cameras per server using multiple NVIDIA® cards

2016 Hardware Acceleration in the Smart Client Using the GPU built into the Intel® CPU (using Intel Quick Sync) HIGHER PERFORMANCE Enjoy improved video rendering Enjoy UHD and 4K cameras 1 LOWER CPU LOAD Higher performance, lower CPU load Get more out of your workstation with multitasking 2 TOTAL COST Maximize the true potential of your system by utilizing the GPU already built into your machine 3 Read the white paper

The results in a real setup View more streams with less CPU load 75% decrease in measured CPU load for 1280X720 streams 60% decrease in measured CPU load for 1920X1080 streams Measured on: i7 CPU / 16GB RAM

2017 R1 Hardware Acceleration in the Recording Server Using the GPU built into the Intel® CPU (using Intel Quick Sync) HIGHER PERFORMANCE Maximize the true potential of your hardware - multiply the number of connected cameras per server a few times over 1 LOWER CPU LOAD Work faster and better on tasks that matter to you and to your business with a lower CPU load 2 TOTAL COST Maximize your existing hardware and save on unnecessary hardware costs Run a smaller yet stronger servers network with a higher cameras/server ratio Save on maintenance and overhead costs 3 Read the white paper

The results in a real setup Connect more cameras with less CPU load 65% increase in the number of connected cameras per Recording Server >80% CPU decrease on a Recording Server with 300 cameras Performance measured for h.264 stream format in HD (720p, 30 FPS, 1 Mbit/s). Tested hardware: Intel i7-6700K, Intel HD Graphics 530, Windows 10, 16 GB RAM

Hardware Acceleration in the Smart Client Using multiple NVIDIA GPUs MORE CAMERAS & SCREENS View more high resolution streams simultaneiously Use more screens of the highest definition for display 1 LOWER CPU LOAD Higher performance, lower CPU load Get more out of your workstation with multitasking 2 LOWER COST Maximize the potential of your hardware and save on unnecessary purchases See the full potential of your screens with a higher streams/screen ratio 3 Read the Feature Brief

The results in a real setup View more streams with less CPU load 3X more streams viewd in the Smart Client simultaneously 78% CPU decrease on average XProtect Smart Client performance measured for h.264 stream format in full HD. Tested hardware: Windows PC with Intel Core i7-8700K processor at 3.70GHz, 32 GB RAM, 2X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

2018 R2 Hardware Acceleration in the Recording Server Using multiple NVIDIA GPUs HIGHER PERFORMANCE Maximize the true potential of your hardware - multiply the number of connected cameras per server a few times over 1 LOWER CPU LOAD Work faster and better on tasks that matter to you and to your business with a lower CPU load 2 TOTAL COST Maximize your existing hardware and save on unnecessary hardware costs Run a smaller yet stronger servers network with a higher cameras/server ratio Save on maintenance and overhead costs 3 Read the Feature Brief

The results in a real setup Connect more cameras with less CPU load 80% increase in the number of connected cameras per Recording Server 90% CPU decrease on average Performance measured for h.264 stream format in full HD (1920X1080). Tested hardware: Windows server 2016, 2X Intel Xeon Silver 4114, 64 GB RAM, 4X NVIDIA Quadro P2000
