We are considering a streaming setup with a new Mac Mini (OSX Server, 2.6GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 2x 1TB HDD) set in a Sonnet xMac Mini Server enclosure and the BlackMagic Design Decklink Extreme 3D card connected by Thunderbolt. (2D video only. Card was selected beacuse its on FMLE's list)Signal would be 1080 HD-SDI from small production switcher. Hoping to stream dual stream H264 (1280x720 @ 2500kbps and 640x360 @ 1200kbps) to a FMS 5 server and record a file version(s) simultaneously - locally.
Anybody done anything like that? Is it stable? Can the Mini handle it? It would be dedicated to this job only.
