COMPUTINGAPPLICATION NOTE

With multiple video processing software available today, FFmpeg is still one of the leading free multimedia frameworks for video and media applications. The project behind FFmpeg produces multiple libraries and programs for handling various tasks such as decode, encode, transcode, filter, stream, demux, mux. When coupling FFmpeg with the Artesyn SharpStreamer™ PCIE-7207 card, OEMs can innovate cost-effective solutions to resolve today’s media processing challenges on standard x86 hardware.

Below is a procedure on how to install FFmpeg on Artesyn SharpStreamer cards.

So You Want to...Install FFmpeg on Artesyn SharpStreamer™ PCIE-7207 cards with Quicksync support?

PCIE-7207 booted with PCIE-7207_LINUX_CENTOS7_GA02_SCML41425.

Root file system is loaded via NFS for persistent storage

PCIE-7207 has access to public network via NAT configuration on host. This is needed for missing package installations.

Artesyn standard configuration in SCML41425 has Intel MSDK R6 Essential edition installed.

Due to licensing restrictions Artesyn is not allowed to ship standard image with full set of libraries available in MSDK packages. For example for encode and decode to run properly libdrm-devel-*rpm and the libva-devel*rpm need to be installed. In Artesyn image soflinks are present. Customers just need to install the missing RPMs.

# Prep and config

Get Intel MSDK, tar/unzip and edit the install script to force install the rmps below.

Intel® Media Server Studio 2015 – Essentials Edition for Linux* includes:

• Intel® Media Server Studio 2015 – Graphics driver, version 16.4.2.39163

• Intel® Media Server Studio 2015 – SDK, version 6.0.16043166.166

• Intel® Media Server Studio 2015 – OpenCL™ Code Builder 2015 R6
