Host video recording by baseboard management controller (bmc)

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods of recording video frames from a computing device by a management device. The management device may receive video frames from the computing device. In response to receiving the video frames, the management device may process the video frames in a first-in-first out (FIFO) order to generate processed video frames according to a recording method, store the processed video frames in the FIFO order in the memory of the management device, and then release the memory occupied by some of the processed video frames in the FIFO order based on a memory releasing condition defined by the recording method to store the processed video frame. The memory releasing condition is determined by multiple optimized parameters of the recording method. The recording method may be a sliding window recording method, a multiple-window fixed size recording method, or a multiple-window dynamic size recording method.
