Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it.

What email can I use for you?

Hello all:

I’ve run into this as well.

Yes, 10.1.2 broke using libraries on Facilis MW volumes. SW seems to be OK. 10.1.2 seems to be the culprit – not Facilis. Chasing Apple, as it were.

What would be the best way of exporting a “same as source” clip, short of manually transposing clip properties to the export window?

Thanks for the info Tom.

As I’m sure you can understand, the LTFS implementation around the time of the post was still very new and somewhat enigmatic. I don’t believe we had sold any LTFS enabled units at that point.

Press release from 1/2011:

https://cache-a.com/canews/Cache-A_HP_LTFS_012511FNL.pdf

As resellers we were, of course, thrilled – LTFS holds much promise.

Fast forward 2 years, and I’m very pleased to see LTFS continues to find for play in the media realm!

If you are getting 100MB/s & 180MB/s…that’s really good. I normally only see that on simple configs with low user count.

When everyone is hitting the ISIS, and you view the ISIS webpage, what are you seeing in terms of user performance? There is a sidebar on the left that shows throughput per user (Read and Write)

The 14 tracks sound a bit scary, but I presume if you are toggling all but one of them off and on, you should have no issue. The PiP test is a basic one and one that many installers use to real world test multiple streams at once.

Are you SURE the limitation is the ISIS bandwidth and not the FCP machine?

Yes, an ISIS will spit out 300MB/s per chassis – max.

Have you used Path Diag (free diagnostic on every ISIS install) to test transfer rates from the ISIS to your machine?

Do that, see how fast your connection is. Also, if you are bonding the connections, you have that set within the ISIS client app, yes?

Are you going through an Avid sanctioned Ethernet switch – or direct connect?

Have you reset / deleted your preferences in FCP since adding ISIS?

Is your OS and ISIS client app at the right versions for ISIS?

I would reset FCP preferences, start a new FCP project and put 1 clip on a video track. See if that plays. Then add another – do a manual picture in picture. See if that plays. Keep doing that until FCP throws up an error. Count how many tracks and see if the total tracks data rate is more than the path diag says.

FCP on ISIS 5000 is VERY common, so this should work just fine.

Hello all-

Resurrecting this thread.

Wondering if Episode users have been able to generate a Netflix compatible file thus far.

And….what about 3D files?

My Netflix doc rev is A-5-21.

Yup, thanks Bouke – I believe I recall seeing it on your site some time ago.

Avid handles the media a bit differently than SAT AI, and SAT AI tends to give more flexibility than the built in toggle inside Media Composer.

I do have a solution that is being used by a few TV shows here in Hollywood.

Shoot XDCAM HD
As you know, XDCAM HD generates low res audio and low res video (proxy) and high res audio and high res video.

Editing with low res A&V is problematic, as the audio is horrible. If you use NLTek’s SAT Auto Ingest, the software will marry low res video to high res audio, and generate compliant media for Avid.

Edit, then relink to the high res video. Easy.

The codec is lightweight enough that I can do 9 way multicam on an iMac with zero problems. (haven’t tried more).
