Hi Kiran,

The CPU utilization is something that we cannot reduce, it is bound to the encoding process, which is something expensive if using h264.

You can do one of the following things, reduce the video quality (either going to QCIF, or H263 or reducing fps) or increase the CPU power of your server. I have made test with up to 8 participants using HD(720P) video at 30fps.

Also, the mcu allows you have more than one mixer configured to be able to use more than one server at a time.

Best regards
Sergio

Hi -,


I am trying to use 2X2 conference with H.264 Codec with CIF format. With a single person in the conference i could see that the CPU utilization has gone to 25% and when the second fellow joins, it went up to 50%. I could see that H.264 encoder (x264 lib) is the one responsible for most of the CPU utilization.

Does this mean that I would not be able to run more that 2-3 conferences (say 2X2) active on a system? Is there any way, we can reduce the CPU usage?
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Kiran
