Hi, just to update:

I couldn’t get any faster than 1mb/s using the combination of: MaOS (El Capitan, Sierra), Superloader 3 LTO 6, Atto H644 HBA (various drivers and firmwares), Yoyotta (various versions) and CINEMA DNG files (or any type of image sequences). The system seems to work very well with other file types.

I tried using another hardware setup: IMac, OS Sierra, Quantum LTO6 HH, Atto Thunderlink 1068, Yoyotta and the same Cinema DNGs, and the speed was around 160mb/s!!!

The next test i used this same “new” setup, but using a Macbook, OS High Sierra, Quantum LTO6 HH, Atto Thunderlink 1068, Yoyotta and the speed was, again, 1mb/s.

I tried a lot of ATTOs transfer rates, but nothing changed.

All these tests made me think that the issue might be the relation between Yoyotta and MacOs Version?

Hi Salvador,
I did not try changing the MaxIO transfer size. What size do you suggest?

YoYotta does not allow to specify a buffer, i think it does it automatically.

Thanks,

Hi Salvador, thanks for your reply.

My setup is:
MacOsx 10.12.6
Atto H644 HBA SAS
Quantum Superloader 3 LTO 6 (connected with my mac through a 6 g/s SAS cable)

Each CDNG is about 3.4mb.

What kind of peripherals could share the bus? There’s only 2 pci beeing used, one for the ATTO HBA and another for the GTX 960 graphics card.

Whats the most strange thing to me is that i’ve already did the same kind of archinving using this same system and without a problem. The only thing that changed between was the Yoyotta version and the MacOs version. I just did a 917gb archiving with full speed (but with Red Raw instead of CDNG).

Thanks

I seems that 14.2 solved some of my problems.
The only thing that remains is that sometimes when I export Mov or MXF from a h264 source, the render comes out with a lot of Media Offline. Nothing that i tried solved this (slowing down render, etc).

Hi Martin, is there a way in YoYotta Automation that i can use slots 1to8 to archive for example my personal files and slot 9to16 for another specific files?
Or use a label range (TE0001L6 and foward) to archive my personal files and another label range to other files?

Thanks,

[Mauro Moreira]

Thanks for your help Tim.
I know that the SL-3 is not the best hardware available. I’ve worked with BRU PE and a standalone drive and it was totally perfect.
With the SL-3, during the first 5 tapes i’ve got some issues like the tape is not put back in the slot, or the system cannot change to the next tape and so on.
I think i have a few days left in my demo mode and i’ll do some another tests!

[Mauro Moreira]

Thanks Martin. I think i`ll give another try on the Yoyotta Automation. My initial goal was to work with LTFS too.

[Mauro Moreira]

Hi Andrew. I forgot to mention that i tried P5 and it is a amazing software, but the cost is to high (here in Brazil it costs almost three times more than the LTO DRIVE).

I have used this process once with success, but using only one camera, not two.

[Mauro Moreira]

Michael, i`ll tell you the exactly process:
I put the two cameras and one audio track in a bin and made an auto sync.
The result is a subclip with these two cameras synced with my audio track.
The autosync was not perfect, so i had to ajust some clips and then i`ve made each subclip turn into a timeline (by dragging it into a bin holding ALT).
Then i’ve made a new autosync in this timeline, transforming it in a new subclip, and i`m working with these subclips.

I know it is a bit confusing, but i hope you can help me solve this.
Thanks in advance.

Mauro.
