Hi all,

I am planing to setup linux server with 5 capture cards and stream 5 different mpeg2 channels.

I want to stream them with VLC and transcode them in h264 mpeg4 format. Then stream to the clients to their set top box.

What hardware PC i need ?

Does Intel i7 cpu can handle 5 channels transcoding in same time.



capture card ->vlc transcode -> Output (STB's)

Thank you
