TAG Video Systems has optimised memory usage to lower the cost per channel by up to two-thirds for compressed workflows.
“Our commitment has always been to optimise our customers’ investment in hardware, not just to keep pace with it,” said Stas Bangiev, VP R&D at TAG Video Systems. “When memory prices rose across the industry, we didn’t ask our customers to simply absorb the increase. We went back to the drawing board and engineered a way to deliver the same quality for dramatically less, because reducing our customers’ costs is central to how we operate.”
According to the company, running a server on as few as four memory modules, rather than a fully populated configuration, has reduced the cost per channel by up to 66 per cent, while server capacity dropped by only around 20 per cent.
TAG said it has now extended the same approach to uncompressed ST 2110 environments, where benchmarking on certified platforms is complete. The memory savings include a capacity trade-off of up to around 50 per cent in some configurations, giving customers a new option to weigh against their specific balance of inputs and outputs, said the company.
This memory usage optimisation is available in the latest release of TAG’s MCM software, with further platform work already under way.
