Voices of Video Dom Mrakuzic from Advantech
What do you get when a legacy industrial hardware powerhouse meets a next-gen VPU innovator? A game-changing edge server, built in record time.
In this episode of Voices of Video, Dom Mrakuzic of Advantech joins us to reveal the story behind the Quadra Mini Server - a purpose-built, ultra-compact streaming appliance born from real customer demand and engineered in collaboration with NETINT.
From shrinking full rack systems into half-width, stadium-friendly form factors to unlocking broadcast-quality encoding with a single low-power M.2 card, this conversation dives into the practical challenges of edge deployment and the innovations making it finally scalable.
Dom unpacks why the VPU was the missing piece, how the server came together in just six months, and what this all means for the future of hybrid streaming.
