eg 1: Lets say you need to ingest 6 channels of HD 1080 60p to DNxHD: Therefore your would need 6 X 11.6 = 69.6GHz so based on the above rule of thumb a Core i9-13900K or a dual Xeon® Gold 6226R would be required.
eg 2: 8x HD 1080 50i to XDCAM = 8 X 5.8 = 46.6Ghz so based on the above rule of thumb a single Xeon® Gold 6226R would be the minimum required.
Keep in mind that your video I/O channels and storage/network throughput will also need to be considered.
