Hi Allan,

could you elaborate a little bit on your setup and what are the
gotchas you’ve come across setting it up and from the editors
point of view.

I’m looking of setting one up for a customer and i’d love
to find out a little more.

the fiber with the ethernet client looks interesting too
especially when you want to keep cost down.

Hi,

Never seen that problem before.

Make sure to repair the disk permissions, and may be trash the FCP Preferences.

Hi Bart,

i don’t know if you do recall but i had a simillar problem
2 weeks ago, Atto hasn’t fixed their drivers yet..

i had better luck with the Apple 2 GB card, granted not the same bandwith but it was stable.

Might want to give it a go in the meantime.

hi,

as mentionned here, a couple of internal or extrenal SATA II drives will give you
around 120MB to 150MB throughput more than enough for DVC Pro HD which requires
around 15/16 MB per second.
Very economical solution indeed.

Hi,

make sure under the view menu, that the external monitor is
switch to all frames or apple F12(short cut).

That will be the first thing i would check…

What do you mean by mirror on desktop?

Hi Gary,

Sorry to hear that, and welcome to the club as i’ve
experienced a lot of these on a client’s machine,
lots of crashes in Shake as well..
Can’t wait for a fix from Atto although i wouldn’t be
surprised if the issue is a little more intricate than that.

Have fun in Amsterdam

the Issue isn’t with any Capture card in particular,
but rather with the atto fibre channel and the mac Pro.
