Hardware selection for newbie

[bitmap]

An N95 is sufficient. If you're not transcoding anything (i.e., your client is fully compatible with the media being transmitted), the overhead is minimal. Transcoding is where you run into issues of scale. You're likely fine with 1080p and might be able to transcode a single 4K stream, though I'm not sure where to find benchmarks of that type. See the HWA guide as well as hardware selection guide.

If you can find an old PC and pop in an A310 or any Intel Arc card that fits in your budget, you'll be golden for pretty much whatever you want to throw at it -- as long as the CPU is decent and power draw isn't a concern.
