Company Overview
The organization set out to simplify the way video depositions are recorded, reviewed, and shared by bringing complex workflows into a single, easy-to-use system. With a strong emphasis on portability and reliability, its solutions are built to perform wherever testimony takes place, whether in an office, conference room, or remote setting. As video workflows continue to evolve, ongoing innovation remains focused on improving real-time streaming, transcription, and collaboration to support modern recording environments.
The Challenges
High Performance Video Processing Demands
The system had to do a lot at once—capture multiple video sources, switch program views on the fly, and stream everything live without missing a moment. All of this runs continuously, putting constant pressure on the CPU and memory. Any slowdown or dropped performance could interrupt a session that simply can’t afford interruptions.
Silent Operation Requirements
Many deployments take place in quiet rooms where even a small amount of noise can be distracting. Traditional cooling fans introduce sound that doesn’t belong in these environments and can also become a point of failure over time. A fanless design was essential to ensure silent, reliable operation in professional settings.
Network Bandwidth for Video Workflows
Modern video workflows rely heavily on IP-based sources and live streaming endpoints, where network stability is critical. Relying on a single network connection can quickly become a bottleneck when multiple video streams are in play. Having multiple Ethernet connections was essential to keep everything running smoothly and reliably.
Limited Expansion in Compact Form Factors
Supporting advanced video capture and processing meant relying on more than one expansion card. In many compact systems, available PCIe slots and bandwidth quickly become a limiting factor. Without enough room to grow, long-term scalability and future upgrades would be compromised.
Flexible Deployment and Connectivity
Because the system is designed to be portable, it isn’t always deployed in places with reliable network infrastructure. Some locations offer wired connectivity, while others do not. Built-in wireless capability was necessary to maintain flexibility and keep workflows moving regardless of the environment.
The Solution
Premio’s super-rugged industrial fanless computer (RCO-6000-RPL-2)
The RCO-6000-RPL was selected as the foundation of the video deposition recording system due to its super-rugged, fanless design and proven industrial reliability. Compliance with UL safety standards and MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration requirements ensures dependable operation in mobile and transportable deployments. By consolidating processing, networking, and PCIe expansion into a single compact enclosure, the system delivers consistent performance in demanding professional environments.
Sustained Intel Core i7 Performance
The Intel Core i7 13700TE processor provides the performance needed for continuous multi input video recording and real time streaming. Its 35W thermal design supports sustained workloads without thermal throttling. This allows the system to maintain responsiveness during extended deposition sessions.
EDGEBoost I/O for Multi-Port Networking
EDGEBoost I/O makes it easy to add a 4-port GbE networking module, giving the system the connectivity needed to support multiple video sources and IP-based workflows. With more network ports available, setup becomes simpler and cleaner, reducing cable clutter during deployment. This ensures stable, reliable network performance for both recording and live streaming.
Dual PCIe x8 Expansion with EDGEBoost Nodes
The EDGEBoost node architecture opens up two PCIe x8 slots with Gen 4 bandwidth, giving the system the headroom needed for high-performance video capture and processing cards. This ensures each expansion card has the bandwidth it needs to operate reliably. With dedicated PCIe lanes, the platform is also well positioned to scale as requirements grow in the future.
Integrated WiFi 6E Connectivity
WiFi 6E provides fast, reliable wireless connectivity for situations where wired networking isn’t available or practical. This allows the system to be deployed quickly and accessed remotely without added complexity. Wireless support further enhances the portability and flexibility of the overall solution.
The Benefit
Fast, Local Engineering Support
Long-term reliability is strengthened by direct access to Premio’s engineering team based in Los Angeles. Responsive support and hands-on expertise help address issues quickly throughout deployment and ongoing operation. This close collaboration provides confidence in consistent performance, even through extended validation and qualification cycles.
Conclusion
By building the solution around a super-rugged, fanless industrial computer with dual PCIe x8 expansion, the video deposition recording system delivers the performance and reliability needed for demanding video workflows—without the noise or bulk of traditional systems. Its compact, portable design makes it easy to deploy wherever it’s needed, while the flexible expansion ensures the platform can grow over time. Together, this creates a dependable foundation for high-quality video recording and streaming in professional environments.
