1.3 1 Overview This is the Viz Opus Deployment Guide. Its aim is to provide instructions on how to install, configure and service Viz Opus. Viz Opus is a single-box, relatively easy to set-up and configure studio automation software and hardware package. You can view Viz Opus as a packaged version of a subset of the full Viz Mosart studio automation package. As such, there will always be a corresponding Viz Mosart release to any given Viz Opus release. For instance, Opus 1.3 will be based on Mosart 3.8. And so on. Currently, Opus is packaged as a single server with two graphics cards and includes a hardware audio mixer. Full details are provided later in this guide and in the Viz Opus Administrator Guide. If you are not familiar with Opus or Mosart, you should first take a look at our public product web pages to see how we present the solutions to our customers: • http://www.vizrt.com/products/viz_mosart/ • http://www.vizrt.com/products/viz_opus/ This manual ultimately requires an understanding of Mosart application(s) or rather the components of Mosart used in Opus.

Kirkkonummi 14.9.2012 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki Thesis instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Jussi Pekonen Aalto University School of Electrical A! Engineering aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master's thesis Author: Antti Pakarinen Title: Multi-core platforms for audio and multimedia coding algorithms in telecommunications Date: 14.9.2012 Language: English Number of pages: 9+63 Department of Signal processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Signal processing Code: S-89 Supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki Instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Jussi Pekonen Multimedia coding algorithms used in telecommunications evolve constantly. Ben- efits and properties of two new hybrid audio codecs (USAC, Opus) were reviewed on a high level as a literature study. It was found that both have succeeded well in subjective sound quality measurements. Tilera TILEPro64-multicore platform and a related software library was evaluated in terms of performance in multimedia coding. The performance in video coding was found to increase with the number of processing cores up to a certain point. With the tested audio codecs, increasing the number of cores did not increase coding performance. Additionally, multicore products of Tilera, Texas Instruments and Freescale were compared. Develop- ment tools of all three vendors were found to have similiar features, despite the differences in hardware architectures.
