I'm actually looking to create a small portable video converter and need advice on the chip to use to run it. I know it will run on all the i3, i5 or i7's but I want to know if based on the SDK it will run on an atom chip.
I have an executable file that runs on Ubuntu and I'm trying to run it but it is not running. I was told to add maybe you need add chmod +x but I don't know where or how to do that. Any insight?
Atom chip is REALLY slow. The device I suggested is 6"x6"x3.5". VERY portable. At the command line: Code: $ chmod +x /path/to/file
Without reading through this, all you need to know is this: Just buy yourself a new keyboard, don't worry about cleaning the old one.
Also, you could get a computer on a USB stick, if you want something incredibly small and atom based. You plug it into a TV and use a USB keyboard and mouse. Even runs Windblows. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&k...argid=kwd-143037637927&ref=pd_sl_2cu3qu14mm_b
Unless it's a piece of software that has all the hardware device drivers needed to run on bare hardware, you still need an OS like Linux or Windows. The OS provides access to the hard drives, user interface, network, etc. I don't know how long your typical conversion process takes. If it is taking 3 minutes on an I7 6700 class CPU, it would likely take 30 minutes on an atom. If the time doesn't matter and the price does, you can find ~$150-$200 priced NUC (similar 6x6x3.5" sized) systems with celeron, atom, etc. 6x6x3.5 is about the size of an apple magic trackpad. Smaller than a mouse pad (mat). Similar in size to Apple TV, Roku device, etc.
Click on the image anyway, even if it's generic $350, decent i3 cpu, small amount of RAM. You can open it up and upgrade to more RAM if you need it.
My uncle has a laptop very similar to that if not the same model, upgrading the ram and the HD to SSD was ridiculously difficult. If he wants to upgrade anything on that I strongly suggest getting something different. I've upgraded many laptops over the years, that was just stupid.
6"x6"x3.5" If you don't need the power of an i7 6700, you an use ANY skylake 6th gen processor with 65 watts TDP or less.
That's what I'm trying to figure out...how much do I need. I have a piece of software I can test in a system but I'm trying to avoid testing every atom chip to see if it works.
I get that it's a live encoder. Unless there's hardware support, an atom isn't going to encode a live stream very well. The quality of the stream, resolution (e.g. 720p, 1080p, etc.), frame rate (60hz, 30hz, etc.), bitrate (2mb/sec, 10mb/sec, etc.). and the actual encoder type (h.264, AAC, etc.) determine the CPU needed. This is from adobe's README about their Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/3/FMLE_3.2_Win_Read_Me.pdf That should give you an idea. If you want to do 720p, you need a fairly beefy CPU. This link: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/best-pc-setup-for-1080p-60fps.28986/
Denny you know any hardware specialists? This actually runs at 720 on an iPhone but have been told it's not optimized for ARM processors. I know it will run on an i3 but haven't been able to nail down exactly how much processor is needed.
720 at what bitrate? What bitrate do you want it to be? Here's an example of 720p @ 2mbit, 23fps: I think it's just OK. Not very detailed, blurry, especially if the camera is moving/panning. I don't know what your videos are of. If you're pointed at the beach, then low bandwidth, low framerate is ok. If it's for a security camera, they do incredibly low framerate, like 4/sec.
