You have pretty much maxed out the configuration available for that system. The Red codec is extremely CPU intensive if you don’t have the red rocket card. Add on that the ram space AE requires to handle that media with AE’s render engine and that system is just not built to handle that ideally. You have to keep in mind that Red at 4K or higher can push any system out to date even a 48 Thread IVY-E Dual Xeon depending on the complexity of the Comp. I would suggest looking at a Rocket or a new system if Red workflows are common and you don’t like the current performance.

In order to fix this, the controller/raid management has to have the ability to import a foreign raid configuration like the LSI/Intel Raid controllers. If Areca has that option then you can import the configuration again. I would definitely contact them to see if that is an option with their raid management. If there is only 2 drives missing in the primary raid you can delete the 2nd raid and then rebuild 1 drive at a time into the Primary. However you have to hope that another drive doesn’t drop out during the rebuild if you do that until atleast 1 of the 2 drives is rebuilt. A safer way to do this would be to add a new drive as a Global spare and rebuild that first. Then delete the 2nd raid and rebuild another drive into the Raid 6. The 3rd drive becomes a spare in the future then once you find out which disk is failing.

That looks normal depending on Highpoints caching model. Sounds like you do have it sorted now. Drivers do update caching models so I would do that next.

What driver and firmware are you running? What do you have the Controller cache mode set to? Do you have an option to enable disk cache in the management?

I would start with a fresh raid set after you move the data off. Make sure you Full initialize when you create the new Raid 6 array. Don’t use the quick initialization. It never hurts to test the drives individually as Alex suggests. Keep in mind the Desktop drives are not recommended for parity raids. They can be ok for Raid 10 but not what I would suggest for Parity. I would also suggest writing zeroes to all the drives before you create the new raid set. That should zero out block issues on a drive that may occur in the raid index area.

The DVI input on the monitor wont carry the 10Bit. That will be 8Bit. You have to go into the monitor Displayport to get the 10bit. Did you see if Eizo had a firmware update?

Did you try the output with SDI to the HDlink and DVI to the monitor? Did you try the 59.94 frame rate yet? have you tried 720P60 yet?

Displayport is not a better transmission standard than HDMI 1.4. HDMI 1.4 actually has better specifications including Deep color support which is 10 or 12Bit color depth, 4K resolution support and 3D transmission. You can verify the specs online but HDMI has zero specification capability difference with SDI including latency. HDMI 1.4 also has the standard for carrying network packets which is unique to video transmission modes. HDMI 1.4 is also superior to Displayport in transmission signal range. The Displayport standard starts reducing bandwidth after shorter ranges than HDMI as well.

This essentially is decided by the firmware on the monitor. They can program in the scaling from 1920 to the maximum resolution of the monitor but that has to be programmed. The Video cards themselves will scale this down as required but the I/O cards wont unless their drivers specify which the Blackmagic do not. The firmware on the monitor will also decide what colorspace is available to use such as RGB or YUV. Once again it depends on what was programmed into the firmware. If this model had HDMI then YUV would be a requirement because of the HDMI Standard. It doesn’t so it’s up to Eizo whether they included YUV processing or not. I am essentially just verifying what has been included in the firmware and what wasn’t by the questions I am asking. The Firmware is where all of this is decided. I suspect that monitor will not scale down since they also do not list that in features like most monitors that do that. A firmware update however can change many of these so it always best to verify what is the latest firmware version available.

Does your HDLink have the DVI out? What happens if you connect SDI to the HDlink and then DVI to the monitor? From what I read the CG series only supports 24 Frame HDMI so just use the 30/60 frame for testing. Also try 59.94 interlaced to see if it picks up that signal on the firmware.
Also Last time I ran into this with a Flanders monitor off the Blackmagic cards, the firmware had to be updated on the Flanders. Contact Eizo and make sure they don’t have a Firmware update for it.
