Activity Forums Avid Media Composer 1:1 Uncompressed

  • 1:1 Uncompressed

    Posted by Jeff Murray on May 8, 2006 at 7:08 am

    I have been configuring Avid Studio on an approved IBM intellistation, when I read I needed a RAID drive to capture 1:1 on. So I installed a SATA card in PCI slot 6. I have two drives (I think) on RAID 1.

    However I am still unable to capture 1:1.

    Do I need SCSI RAID?

    Regards

    Raid 1 is a Mirror. It is typically done with 2 drives, but it can be done with far more than 2. Let

    Not sure at what point you’re failing, it may be a simple problem, untich filter drives based on resolution in you’re settings, I think it’s either in media cration or general…

    Thanks Alex and Amheus. I have drive filtering unticked.

    A most helpful post Alex – I will check my RAID settings and let you know how I get on. I was quoting my settings on memory as I am away from my machine. I did think they were striped, but will double check this.

    By the sounds of it, I maybe able to do uncompressed on the SATA Raid then and not require SCSI. I really hope so.

    Regards

    I checked and I have Raid Level 0 enabled. It’s accross only two drives and by the sounds of uncompressed 1:1 needs a lot more drives to work.

    With my current RAID card I can only go to a maximum of 4 drives in one array.

    Does anyone know the write speed required for uncompressed?

    My current set up writes at 42,112 kb/s or 41 mb/s, I see some of the SCSI RAID writes at up to 125 mb/s.

    Regards
