Sometimes it helps to have a look into the included “release notes” (Page 2&3) 😉

Have you set your HDx options in the system preferences? (Not in AE, but in the OSX system prefs)? There you can specify which output format shall be used for the analog outs.

[Al J. Marschke] “I believe that the media 100 scopes are for input only and cannot help you with graphics you create for output.”
The scopes in HD/sw are for timeline/output, not for input.

Nearly all PAL DVD players can play back NTSC DVDs as long as they are not locked to RC1. You are much safer by delivering an NTSC DVD than a badly-converted PAL DVD from NTSC source material.

[Todd at UCSB] “Quck follow up, what does the Raid 50 do? I understand about Raid 0, 3, 5, but does the Raid 50 take both of the Raid 0’s and group them as one?”
Yes.
[Todd at UCSB] “If true, then what’s the differance than doing a Raid 0 accross the whole 8?”
You cannot do that. The XServe RAID has 2 separate channels, and you only can stripe drives (with the hardware RAID controller) that are on the same channel.
[Todd at UCSB] “Also, do you use a Raid 5 configuration? We’re trying to minimize data loss.”
Yes, RAID 50 across 2*7 drives. But you should have at least 5 drives per channel for HD/RAID 50.

Some things to keep in mind:
– if you buy a new XServe RAID it does not matter anymore, but for older RAIDs there were 2 different models, one with 128MB per FC-controller and one with 512MB per controller. Definitely get the one with 512MB (all new models have 512 today).
– If you want to work in HD get at least 4 drives per channel (8 in total), and stripe them as RAID0 per channel, then as Raid00 (if this name does exist) in DiskUtility. If you have more drives you should do RAID5 per channel and then RAID 0 across both channels (RAID50).
– If you only connect one system to the XServe RAID you don
