A video transcoding card peak shifting and powering up system as set forth in claim 3, wherein said main chip is communicatively coupled to said central processing unit by PCIe signals; the main chip is in communication connection with the editable logic chip through GPIO signals and I2C signals; the main chip is also connected with the storage module; the editable logic chip is also connected with the third voltage conversion module and the fourth voltage conversion module through power supply enabling signals respectively.
5. A method for video transcoding card off-peak power-up, implemented based on the system for video transcoding card off-peak power-up according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the method comprising:
when the server main board is electrified, the central processing unit is in handshake communication with the main chip, a bus address is allocated to the video transcoding card, and the first voltage conversion module supplies power for the physical core of the main chip;
when the server enters an operating system, the central processing unit configures the level of the main chip according to the bus address, and when the level signal of the main chip and the state signal of the register of the editable logic chip are simultaneously valid, the second-type voltage conversion module supplies power for the service module of the main chip to finish the current video transcoding card power-on;
and circularly executing to finish the power-on of all transcoding card peak shifting.
6. The method for off-peak power up of a video transcoding card of claim 5, wherein said central processing unit configures the level of the main chip according to the bus address, and when the level signal of the main chip and the status signal of the register of the editable logic chip are simultaneously active, the second type voltage conversion module supplies power to the service module of the main chip, and completing the power up of the current video transcoding card further comprises:
transmitting an enabling signal to the video transcoding card through the central processing unit, and configuring GPIO (general purpose input/output) communicated with the editable logic chip to be low level through the video transcoding card firmware;
and after the editable logic chip monitors that the GPIO is in a low level, performing AND operation with a state signal of an internal register of the main chip, and supplying power to the storage module through the third voltage conversion module and the fourth voltage conversion module when the logic chip is effective at the same time.
7. The method for off-peak power-up of a video transcoding card of claim 5, further comprising driving the host network card to complete overall initialization after the current video transcoding card is powered up, and then performing power-up steps in a cyclic manner to complete off-peak power-up of all the transcoding cards.
