Why Are You Upgrading: Am interested in upgrading video encoding server farm.
My company is building a spec for multiple video encoding server units. We would like to phase these out older systems with 6-8 new units over the next year.
We work primarily in Avisynth, but due to tape sources, we're expanding our digital beta tape process and will be using Adobe products. We are only interested in CPU processing.
Here are some specs we've gathered so far. Would love to hear feedback.
