congatec conga-TS170 server-on-modules

congatec has introduced server-on-modules for real-time media processing based on the latest Intel Xeon E3-1578L and E3-1558 processors.

The modules feature the integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics accelerated by 128 MB fast eDRAM and double graphics base frequency for high transcoding and video processing performance. They come with an extensive ecosystem, including complete board support packages, comprehensive driver support and application-ready carrier boards and evaluation kits, simplifying individual embedded server configurations.

Edge and fog computers for industrial IoT applications are one of the two major application areas for the server-on-modules. In close proximity to the field level, such servers are highly responsive and real-time capable, allowing both the horizontal and the vertical networking of any industrial IoT-connected smart sensors, actuators and complex equipment and machines. High-level media processing performance brings benefits to application fields such as autonomous driving, drone control, vision-based robotics and self-learning machines.

The conga-TS170 COM Express basic modules support up to two 4k HEVC output streams or up to 15 Full HD-HEVC (1080p) streams in real time. The modules offer the common I/O interfaces of the Type 6 pinout.
