Media Reference Stack - Ubuntu*

The Media Reference Stack (MeRS) is a highly optimized software stack for Intel® Architecture Processors (the CPU) and Intel® Processor Graphics (the GPU) to enable media prioritized transcode and analytics workloads, such as smart city applications, immersive media enhancement, video surveillance, and product placement.

Building container image

The Dockerfiles for all Intel System Stacks container images are available at stacks repository. These can be used to build and modify the media image at MeRS

docker build --no-cache -t sysstacks/mers-ubuntu .

Note: Default build args in Docker are on: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#arg

Getting MeRS pre-built image

In case you want to pull the image directly instead of building it, official images are located at docker hub so it can be pulled with the following command

docker pull sysstacks/mers-ubuntu

Running the Media Container

Once you have the Media Reference Stack image, run it with

docker run -it --rm \
sysstacks/mers-ubuntu

Run examples

For transcoding and video analytics examples and pipelines, please see the official documentation on the Intel® oneContainer Portal at the Get Started Guide
