Yes, even though DS1621+ has no graphics chip, it can still transcode using software transcoding if you need to access multimedia over the internet. For local streaming, graphics is not important unless you have non-compatible TVs with video formats.Having a dedicated transcoding chip keeps the NAS performance stable during the video conversion process. Otherwise other users might notice a slowdown during these times.I hope this helps.
