I am currently running AVID mc 6.x on a machine that isn’t nearly that good and it works fine for me. (only 16 gig ram, lesser graphics card, and an i5 quad core processor.) I echo the idea of a 250gb SSD for the system and software drive. That is a HUGE plus. I run a 150ssd, a 3x2tb array AND another 1tb data drive internal. All media goes on the array, the other drive is stuff that I want to keep close at hand. (music, effects, finished masters) etc.
Also external drives are fine. I can edit easily from USB 2 or 3 drives. (don’t try multicam from them though. i usualy have 2 or 3 externals hooked up for various reasons and have a USB 3 SSD reader for the SSDs coming in from my Black Magic Cinema Camera.
If you are buying a turnkey machine definitely look at the HP line. I have had extremely good success with them. If you are rolling you own, my current system has an ASUS motherboard and it’s been great. I am currently considering rebuilding with the ASUS P8Z77 with thunderbolt support. Obviously don’t know if it will work but it’s worth a look. None of these are ‘supported’ by AVID but that doesn’t mean they won’t work. just means AVID hasn’t tried them in the lab.

Two things I can think of.
1. check and see if ‘use selected tracks and markers’ (or something similar) is checked in your export settings. If so, either deselect it or make sure you have an ‘in point’ at the first frame of your time line and an ‘out point’ at the very end.
2. I always see the video end one frame before the actual end of the show. This is most noticeable when a fade to black doesn’t go all the way to black. I just make a practice to make the video track end one (or more)frame before the audio track and then it works fine.
Or it could be something else entirely.

yes, it isn’t a seperate DL on the website, they say it is a part of the camera utility, but I can’t find any way to run it from the camera utility. basically the camera util just says to plug the camera in and gives you no options to run anything else…

No app store for windows 7.

If I remember correctly from the ACSR exam Green is full rez, Yellow/Green is 1/4 rez and full yellow is 1/16 rez.

As you say, there are certain things you have to do. One of them is SUPPORT sRGB format. It’s right there in the specification. And that is something the shuttle simply doesn’t do. Connect it to an AVID NitrisDX and set the hdmi output to RGB. You’ll see the recording turn green. Does it every time. Same with every other RGB source I’ve tried. EVERY TIME.
The Hyperdeck shuttle does not support sRGB format. Therefore it is not HDMI Compliant as per the specification.
It’s very simple.

You an basically put your project files anywhere you want. For your media you can use the “Media Creation” setting to direct AVID to put all your files on the same drive or put different types of files in different places (IE your renders go one place, your stills to another, audio to another, video…) You get the picture. This can be set on a project to project basis. You can also override this setting at render time if you want to and re-direct files to other places.
I have used a wide variety of off the shelf drives on my avids with great success. Just about any USB 3 drive seems to work. also most USB 2 drives work as long as your not doing a ton of layers. I do films so the data demand isn’t that great. My stuff is mostly cuts with a dissolve here and there. (DNxHD 145) I expect if you are trying to do seven layers of uncompressed HD in real time, then you need the avid supplied drives to keep up. it just depends on what you’re throughput needs are. for simple stuff I feel no need to buy the “Avid approved” drives, but if you want to max out performance you need them.

This post brings up an interesting point. For a device to be HDMI compliant it MUST support the sRGB color space at 8 bits per component. Support for the YCbCr color space and higher color depths (“deep color”) is optional.
So how does BMD get away with saying this device is HDMI compliant when it clearly does not support the RGB color space???
