Congatec presents two new server-on-modules that are specially designed for real-time media processing. The new conga-TS170 server-on-modules are based on the Intel Xeon processors E3-1578L and E3-1558. According to the supplier, the modules offer professional transcoding and video processing performance thanks to the integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics, which is accelerated by 128 MByte eDRAM and twice the base clock speed. They also provide software support with the Media Studio Server package. In addition, these modules provide an ecosystem including complete board support packages, driver support and carrier boards and evaluation kits that can be used immediately for application development, which significantly simplifies the design of individual server configurations. Edge and fog computers for industrial IoT applications are one of the two main areas of application. Due to their proximity to the field level, the modules are responsive and real-time capable and enable both horizontal and vertical networking of all smart sensors, actuators and more complex devices, machines and systems connected to the industrial IoT.
