Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking The Alveo™ MA35D media accelerator from AMD / Xilinx. The Alveo MA35D media accelerator is an AI-enabled, ASIC-based video processing PCIe card for high-density, ultra-low latency streaming for video collaboration, social live events, telemedicine, cloud gaming, auctions, eLearning applications, and more.
The AMD / Xilinx Alveo MA35D media accelerator, available from Mouser, is powered by an application-specific integrated circuit-based video processing unit built for high-density, ultra-low latency streaming. Each device (2x per card) features four discrete encoder engines, featuring two 5 nm, ASIC-based video processing units (VPUs) supporting the AV1 compression standard, enabling streaming providers the flexibility to concurrently scale multiple standards to new and legacy endpoints. By performing all video processing functions on the VPU, data movement between the CPU and accelerator is minimized, reducing overall latency and maximizing channel density with up to 32x 1080p60, 8x 4Kp60, or 4x 8Kp30 streams per card. The platform also provides ultra-low latency support for the mainstream H.264 and H.265 codecs and features next-generation AV1 transcoder engines delivering up to a 52% reduction in bitrate for bandwidth savings versus comparable software.
The Alveo MA35D accelerator also features an integrated AI processor and dedicated video quality engines designed to evaluate content, frame-by-frame, and dynamically adjust encoder settings to improve perceived visual quality while minimizing bitrate. Optimization techniques include region-of-interest (ROI) encoding for text and face resolution, artifact detection to correct scenes with high levels of motion and complexity, and content-aware encoding for predictive insights for bitrate optimization.
