uncompressed throughput
Hi- Im editing uncompressed footage and having a hard time getting the sequence to play without choking. I have only 1 layer ov video, 1 stereo pair of audio. Warning of “frames were dropped…” MacG5 1.8DP 1TSATA AJA LA i/o Seems like this is not too much to ask of the machine. Any ideas about how I can get this to go?

I have read that some AJA users have to put their PCI cards in specific slots. Give AJA a call, as their website may not be updated with the most current info.

Oh….just saw you were on a G5, but I still think its worth a call to AJA.
You are entitled to free tech support from them, and they are always helpful.

Also, where is your media stored? You didn’t mention that.

The media is stored on a striped RAID with 4 Hitachi 250GB drives. I’ll check in with Hector at AJA. I agree, they do have excellent support.

nor what kind of uncompressed footage. SD, HD 8bit , 10bit, what frame rate.
all of those are important too.

If you are using SD Uncompressed, your system should be able to handle that. Hopefully AJA can help…sounds like a possible PCI bandwith issue with slot order, but they would know for sure.

Sorry- The camera master is SD Mini DV. I digitized it through component to 8 bit uncompressed SD NTSC 29.97 fps.

The 4 drive raid has plenty of throughput for uncompressed SD, but not HD. You didn’t say which flavor you were cuttting.
