  • Installing Media Composer kills 10Gig speeds

    Posted by Simon Blackledge on May 14, 2015 at 12:11 pm

    Hi all,
    Anyone experienced a slowdown – @30->40% post installing media composer on a mac? ( osx 10.9.5)

    Our Sanlink2 connection speeds have dropped.. a lot!

    The tweaks in sysctl are still there.

    Settings on mic still manual/ mtu9000 not 1500 like Avid suggest.

    Seems the install did some – no good – tweaks. 🙁

    Tried a reinstall of driver and a reboot. Still down from 450-500MBs to 230-320MBs :-/

    Cheers

    Simon

    wow Simon – you are scaring me !
    I have not seen this issue.

    What OS is your server running ? (and what server are you running – because you can’t use the homebrew that we talk about all the time for MC).

    Hey Bob,
    The MC install was just to test MC as we look to move away from FCP7 finally.

    I’m not using what we do server wise to use with MC. I was just aware after the install and playing media that was AMA’d from the server it seemed stuttery. DPX seq etc..

    So checked the connection speed and was like WTF!

    Am actually surprised an uninstall fixed it. You know how some uninstalls leave crap behind.

    Have reached out to an Avid contact I was given. Will update you with further findings.

    BTW – didn’t realise NFS over 10Gig is limited to 200MBs is on the write :-/ Reads fine at 750MBs though.

    Cheers
