Minions

The “Minions” are micro PCs which we use for encoding of the master release at the events.

At the moment we got four of these little helpers.

They feature a Desktop Core i7 CPU on a very very small form factor.

On the downside they get very loud so you want to place them somewhere outside the lecture hall.

We run debian and ffmpeg on them.

Minion 1-4 are Gigabyte BRIX Pro GB-BXi7-4770R (rev. 1.0)
