The early 2010’s saw the need for video servers with high channel counts in increasingly smaller form factors. This started first in 360 Systems MAXX server line with the introduction of the MAXX-2420, 4 channel server in a 2U form factor. The thought process was developed further in subsequent years with the introduction of the TSS multi channel servers in a 1U chassis.
By 2015 the next iteration of the TSS video servers had been released. Performance enhancements including HD / SD in the same server along with up/down/cross conversions of multiple file formats on-the-fly were included as part of the standard features. The inclusion of H.264 and MPEG-2 support allowed for more flexible file support especially when dealing with moving content from NLE’s and other external sources.
