Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Rack mounted CPUs w/out Monitors Issue

I thought the GPU if added to my QNAP was for a GUI interface.  I'll have to check on that.  I don't have a need for one on my storage QNAP but I am curious how a GPU would help it computationally.  I only use mine for storage.

Yes, an on board GPU or standard PCIe GPU is needed. 

 

Remote editing systems do have a graphics card. No monitor is connected to streamline the physical footprint (easier to rack, less power, etc). 

 

A GPU cam be added to certain QNAPs. However, this is strictly for computation ( media conversion in particular). I don’t think the OS is capable of outputting a graphical interface.

Novice question about the EDID dongle.  This would require a graphics card in the computer wouldn't it?  My QNAP has no graphics card but it can support one but I have no need for it at this time.  It sounds like the Rack Mounted Computers don't even have a graphics card.  I assume that's possible and they are controlled remotely over a network and are accessed by other work stations.  Like screen sharing on a mac and whatever other approaches there are.
