We are running 2 symphony Nitris systems that are identical. 8400, RTR scsi
drives, Nitris classic hardware. And on Vista business 64bit . With both
systems in HD 1:1 10 bit and 8 Bit We get VDM_overrun errors when capturing.
We might capture 100+ clips successfully then find 20 clips won't capture.
They all stop about 1 sec into the capture with the above error and " expect
a green frame on the desktop" Often it is impossible to capture the faulty
clips. The only way have been to go to DNx which we don't want to do. We
have substituted every part of the systems and still get the same result.
They have the correct BIOS and drivers etc.



We think this has only happened since we upgraded to 64 bit, we certainly
never had this problem before although we might have been on 3.1 and not
3.5.4 We upgraded to the point releases including patches to try and
overcome this but no joy.



Usually this error seems to relate to drive trouble, however the drives
definitely have the right profile loaded and also as one system is Dual boot
the drives can handle DS 4:4:4 media without a hiccup, and we have done the
speed tests on the drives and all is easily OK.



So is anyone else using this configuration and does it work for you?



The release notes for this and later version say there is a problem with
this and optimizing the drives might help but as I understand it that is
referring to selecting the correct profile in the RTR using hyperterminal
which we have done.



Anyone have this or know anything about it?



Thanks

But... many people already have  everything on that list... except the software.

Which brings us back to the low, low price of 30K  + 2K maintenance.

Competition is good.  I look forward to seeing what kind of response this will
generate from all the usual suspects.

Does DS work in an Interplay environment? - no need to be in the same project
any more with that... (sooo much quicker than navigating through / opening
bins).

It was a few months ago, but AMA worked well for us with XDCam HD 50 material.

Copied full disk structure to storage (in background) and then linked via AMA.

Overnight consolidated (native XDCam codec) the AMA bins - which put it on the
Unity in a more avid friendly form.

Any sequences with XDcam cut in had a final mixdown to DNX (which is usually
just about as quick as rendering and gives you a nice solid master clip) for
transfer to EVS.

No problems (other than bits of clips sometimes going offline - which was fixed
with a CPR that made a later release I'm sure).

Didn't have to 're-link' though so can't answer as to whether that would be a
problem going forward. And we were mostly DNX native material - with about 20
XDcam discs.

On regular Autodesk systems, an advanced NVIDIA card is used and the AJA card is
only used for I, not O. That's not really a "standard" Mac editing set-up. As
such, the question remains, does this unit become a Smoke-only installation, or
can you run FCP, MC, CS4, etc. on the same workstation? If so, it's more
attractive than if not.

Thanks, Terry. I had found these guys via Google, but their

only, and Intel only MacBooks are ExpressCard only -- not
Cardbus. Um, am I the only guy that thinks software for P2 cards

I'll try to copy the broken files from the Win machine to the

However, to test robustness, I yanked the power cord while

All the clips are broken. And while they show up with Yellow X's

My point was that so far, working from virtual drives has not been flawless. I
would find various files to be offline, even though they were actually there.
This was after working with them for a while. At first they were seen and then
later they weren't and could not be relinked. I have not retested under 4.0.4
yet.

BTW - Premiere Pro does much the same thing these days. Using the same virtual
files, I haven't had any issues with Premiere Pro. Other issues, yes - just not
files going offline.

I think virtual AMA volumes work fine without consolidating.  The only
point to note is that you will be editing with Sony/Panasonic's
acquisition codec. This can have performance and picture quality
ramifications on a long / deep timeline.



In those cases where it merits it, I  would think that a Virtual AMA
volume, long rough cut, to  Transcode workflow would be the best of all
worlds.

I think the usefulness and workflow with AMA is different depending on
the type of tapeless format you are working with. With XDCAM-HD (from
discs) you are more likely to work with the camera media itslef. With
XDCAM-EX or P2, in applications other than hard news, odds are you'd
copy to a virtual drive first and then access content folders from the
hard drive. In the case of the latter, AMA has got to work flawlessly
from the virtual folder without consolidating, otherwise it's pretty
pointless.

The point of AMA is that it is a  plugin architecture, so Apple/AJA/BMD
get to do the work if they want to; Avid shouldn't need to.



In order to edit in FCP you have to do the equivalent of what would be
called consolidating in Avid.  You can't edit the file based material
from Sony or Panasonic file based cameras without re-wrapping for use in
FCP; you can with AMA.



It seems to me that with AMA you can start the selection process
immediately and choose to  Transcode to DNx when it makes sense. The
equivalent workflow on FCP is to consolidate everything you shot and
then Media Manage the stuff you have selected to ProRez

Pushing MC one step closer to FCP methodology: Edit first, take the
transcode hit afterwards. Now if we can get ProRes via AMA too, we no
longer need to mind the gap.

(PS: Remember to make it work with AJA & BM codecs while you're at it.)

The 5D MkII is full-frame, but will only currently record at 30fps (no
good for us 25fps Brits).  I say 'currently' because there's a
firmware upgrade coming in the first six months of 2010, which will
introduce UK-friendly frame rates.

The QT's mine spit out are lovely.

Yes - that doesn't work - just wait until you see the mess of error
messages when you shove in the wrong disk. Close all bins before you
mount a new disk - all those clips called cxxxxx because the camera
person didn't change the settings. Avid links solely on clip name at
the moment.

My system is also software activated perhaps that is why it worked without the
interlok.  Can someone confirm the interlok is for the avid dongle.  I asked
before because I thought it was the sentinel driver that traditionally handled
the avid dongle.  The link Randy posted to Pace had an os x driver that
installed correctly.  Does that mean I'm okay if I ever use a dongle on this
system?
