- Performance is greatly improved by leveraging GPU hardware acceleration.
- The Smart Client leverages multiple GPU adapters when present, operating them in parallel.
- The feeds resolution and frame rate have a linear demand on the playback decoding.
- The best maximum performance of the GPU adapter is at approximately 80 percent before It increases its reliance on the CPU, and starts to decrease the Frame Per Second playback.
- Exporting of video feeds has a minimal impact on the GPU and CPU (approximately 3 percent). Tested with 10 feeds exporting over one hour.
- The Milestone Smart Client primarily leverages the NVDEC decoder chip on the adapters for accelerating the decoding of the video streams. It is important to choose the Pascal chipset or above to include support for H.264, H.265 video streams.
- The Quadro P600 adapter is an excellent choice for a single display that can handle up to 16 HD streams.
- If the streams are HD and above, such as 4K, the P2000 adapter performs better.
- Also consideration on the playback screen is important, especially when playback of high-resolution images is required.
- On tests, we leveraged multiple display types. The Dell P4317Q monitor, with a native resolution of 3840x2160, is an ideal choice for a physically large display at 43" with high-resolution.
