Raid for M100 v8 (Mirrored Drive Doors G4)

You should have a look at the CPG to see where your card should be placed (basically at the position where your SCSI board was earlier). On the Media 100 FTP site you can download the latest CPG for the Media 100 i systems.

Thanks a lot for the link!

I looked for the CPG but only saw one for a 2005 release of m100HD. I then tried downloading the zipped v8 manuals but it wasn’t in there… Anyway I gather that the slot order didn’t change between v7 & v8 so I’ll just configure them the same way although it seems to be running okay currently with a random order.

There are lots of updates here on this ftp site… Perhaps I can update this version?? It’s currently at 8.0.1 and I wonder if I must pay m100 to run the update… also if running just the latest update works or if they all need to be installed in sequence?

Thanks for the help; I wish I had more to contribute than questions in regards to this forum, but I do appreciate the assistance. We did recently entered a partnership with KulaByte though, to sell their HD streaming software and hardware (check out kulabyte.com). If you will be in Amsterdam for IAB I suggest checking out their booth, anyways if you have further interest in their products or want a demo link that’s something I could help with.

Thanks again,

Max Federman

If you have Media 100 V8.01, you definitely should upgrade to V8.1.1, which is free. I also would recommend upgrading to V8.2.3a, which is the latest release of Media 100 i, but the V8.2 line is not free for V8.1 users. You could download the V8.2.3a release and have a look at the readme file to see what is new and to decide if the upgrade is worth it for you.

The installers always contain the full release, so no need to upgrade in sequence. But you definitely should make sure that you have your encryption code written down somewhere in case something goes wrong during the upgrade (very unlikely, but you never know).

Forgot to mention: if you want to get a copy of the CPG I could send it to you (I have it somewhere on my system here). Then you would need your email address.

I put this up awhile back.

Hello

I was able to successfully update V8.0.1 to V8.1.1

However currently m100 crashes when:

-Rendering Motion Path graphics (regardless of wether the Render command is selected within the Edit Suite or Media menu)

-Attempting to launch Boris Graffitti

I carefully examined the Software Requirements and realized that not updating the Graffitti app alongside m100 was probably responsible for the crashes. The PDF says v2.1.2 is required. Please advise as to which file to download to update the current install (2.1.1).

Also the Software Requirements clearly state that Boris FX 6.1.2 must be installed. I will once again need your advice as to the best way to proceed, as the system we purchased did not include Boris FX discs.

Until recently I could not convince my employer to invest in a Macintosh. I am hoping to set up this Media100 system so he can get attached to the interface (he personally has no NLE experience) and eventually I can convince him that we must have m100HD in it’s current version; I have been helping to guide him through the tutorial process and these crashes are frustrating. So once again, thank you for your assistance… it is greatly appreciated!
