Apple tv slow data rate

HI Guys, i have a problem with one of my Apple TV. I currently have 2 Apple TV and one is having a slow data rate. I have Apple AirPort Time Capsule 2TB (latest gen) with most devices running on wireless connection and I checked the data rate (from the base station) on one Apple TV is showing 65Mbps and on another its showing between 6-13Mbps. The signal reception on both AppleTV is excellent. I have tried unplugging, restarting and restoring the AppleTV with no luck. The model number on this AppleTV is A1427. Any other ideas?

Hi arustandi,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, one of the Apple TV's has a slow connection. I see you have already done a bit of troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help with the slow connection.

WPA 2 slows data rate on ATV 3

Hi there
I have Apple TV 3 and Airport Extreme connected by wireless. With WPA 2 enabled on the AP and 802.11n (5hz) selected the data rate is 65 Mbs. With WPA 2 off I get 144 Mbs. Does anyone have any ideas with this problem? I don't want to run on an unsecured network. Thx.

Strong Signal/Slow Data Rate

I've been using a WRT150N for months now with great results. Two days ago my wireless speed dropped to almost nothing (slower that dial up). If I connect via ethernet to the router my speed is fine. My connection tells me that my signal strength is excellent and my connection speed is at 54mps. I've tried reinstalling. Any ideas?

How many wireless computers do you have? Are you experiencing the problem on all of them? Does your wireless card has wireless-N feature? If your wireless card does not have wireless N feature, set the radio band to standard-20Mhz channel and change channel to 11. Disconnect and re-connect to your wireless network and see if that fixes your problem.

Data rate slows over time: Using Time Capsule (4th) and AirPort Express (1st)

Time Capsule using Airport Express to extend network.
Over 3-4 days my data rate gradually gets slower and slower until I have to reboot both TC and AE.
Fresh reboot gets me 10Mbs or better for a while and then slows over time to 2Mbs or less.
I can cable directly to the ISP modem, taking TC and AE out of the equation, and its smokin fast
No hair left to pull out, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You have your wireless channels on auto.. it is usually better to control it.
You will notice I have different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.. then I can force the link to either band.
After you set Radio Channel selection to Manual,, click edit. You can then set the channels.
Lock the channels.. ie you take control and you set what the wireless channels will be.. when you extend wireless this works far better. The auto channel system has to run on the Extender.. but since the main base is fixed on the 2.4ghz so it will be also.. the only channel that can flap around is 5ghz (extender) since that is not under my control. Of course it is up to you to determine which channel works best.. I strongly recommend the upper channels for 2.4ghz and the lower channels for 5ghz.
So.. I have set 5ghz to 48 on the main base.. and the auto channel sets it to 149 in the extender.
One strange thing results from my setup .. (amongst many!!)
You cannot name the wireless for 5ghz in the extender.. so in my case the upstairs wireless extender has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz named TC24ghz.. nought that I can do about it. But it is not a big deal.
You can see the result in the wireless diagnostics. The last wireless I have put in the box.. it is named TC24ghz but is in fact running on 5ghz. That is just how the over automated system of the apple routers work.. If I could I would fix it.. and maybe shall via serial console at a later date.

Slow data transfer rates

I have a MacBook Pro - Retina with an Apple thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adaptor which is connected directly to one port of a synology 412+Nas with Cat6 cable. I am experiencing low data rates when transferring large files (>1GB) usually less than 25Mb/s though sometimes peaking at 100Mb ( fora few seconds) The average rate declines throughout the file transfer. I have noticed that there is a repeated/ self recovering crash which occurs which is co incdent with a dip in the date rates. Having eventually found the crash report its detail is associated with Finder. I am not technically savy enough to interpet the report nor have I been fortunate enough to find the crash reports again!
Has anyone else had this data rate performance issue?

your profile will sort itself out after that period but if you are having disconnection with the hub resetting then there is a more serious noise problem. Check your phone line by dialling 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone
Are you connected to the master or test socket or somewhere else? do you have extensions sockets and if so have you removed the orange bellwire from terminal 3 from the master and all the extensions as this can act like an aerial for noise. http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/bellwirenutshell.html
there is no point in getting the mods to fix your profile if you have a noise problem as you will be back to square 1 in a few days so better sorting problem first

I have a question about Data Rates.

Hello All.
This is a bit of a noob question I'm sure. I don't think I really understand Data Rates and how it applies to Motion... therefore I'm not even sure what kind of questions to ask. I've been reading up online and thought I would ask some questions here. Thanks to all in advance.
I've never really worried about Data Rates until now. I am creating an Apple Motion piece with about 15 different video clips in it. And 1/2 of them have alpha channels.
What exactly is Data Rate? Is it the rate in which video clip data is read (in bits/second) from the Disc and placed into my screen? In Motion- is the Data Rate for video only? What if the clip has audio? If a HDD is simply a plastic disc with a dye read by "1" laser... how come my computer can pull "2" files off the disc at the same time? Is that what data transfer is all about? Is that were RAM comes into play?
I have crunched my clips as much as I can. They are short clips (10-15seconds each). I've compressed them with the Animation codec to preserve the Alpha channel and sized them proportionally smaller (320x240). This dropped their data rate significantly. I've also taken out any audio that was associated with them.
Is data rate what is slowing my system down?
The data rates are all under 2MBs. Some are as low as 230Kbs. They were MUCH higher. However, my animation still plays VERY slowly.
I'm running a 3GigRam Powerbook Pro 2.33GHz.
I store all my media on a 1TB GRaid Firewire 800 drive. However for portability I'm using a USB 2 smartdisk external drive. I think the speed is 5200rpm.
I'm guessing this all plays into the speed at which motion can function.
If I total my data rate transfer I get somewhere in the vicinity of 11MBs/second. Is that what motion needs for it to play smoothly a 11MBs/second data connection? USB 2.0 is like what 480Mbs/second. So there is no way it's going to play quickly. What if I played it from my hard drive? What is the data rate of my internal HDD?
I guess my overall question is.
#1. Is my thinking correct on all of these topics? Do my bits, bytes and megs make sense. Is my thought process correct?
#2. Barring getting a new machine or buying new hardware. What can I do to speed up this workflow? Working with 15 different video clips is bogging Motion down and becoming frustrating to work with. Even if only 3-4 of the clips are up at a time it bogs things down. Especially if I throw on a glow effect or something.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
I hope this helps.

Apple TV2 slow to play

I hate to add to this chorus of compaints regarding the Apple TV2, but I too just purchased an Apple TV2 for Christmas. All my movies are already loaded on my Mac Pro and exist in iTunes. It is not a problem with downloading or streaming from Apple. They play fine on the MacPro. The regular definition movies play almost instantly on my Apple TV2.
The Problem is that I cannot get it to play an HD movie. I purchased my first HD movie from the iTunes store last night. It downloaded from the iTunes store to my Mac Pro in approximately 20 minutes along with what appears as a regular definition version of the movie and "extras". I have been watching over 20 minutes of spinning beachballs waiting for it to begin playing on the Apple TV2. The Airport Utility says that Apple TV2 connection to my Airport Extreme is "Excellent" with a data rate of 65 MB/s, an RSSI (whatever that is) of -49, and a Mode of 802.11 b/g/n
Can anyone help? Otherwise this device is useless for me to watch HD video. My Mac Pro is running the latest version of Snow Leapord (10.6.8) and all other software is up to date with the latest version.
Is there a reset that I need to push? Anything?

Just got off the phone with Apple Support. There procedure was the following:
1. Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
2. Select reset and then select reset all
Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password. You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password. At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library. Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again. After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
Hope this helps! I am back up for business.

Max Data Rate: AGP 2x?!

Bought myself a new MSI-KT6 Delta a few weeks ago (MSI-6590), and have had no problems until now.
First up, my GeForce 4 Ti 4600 decided to suddenly die. Random characters on the screen in text mode, flickery colours and corrupt pixels everywhere. Windows wouldn't detect it properly anymore.
Bought a new Powercolor Radeon 9600 XT with VIVO today. Downloaded the new drivers, and loaded up some Battlefield, all good. Runs nice and smooth. COD, Quake 3, etc, no problems at all.
Halo, however... BAD. Even with the basic graphics settings and no Pixel-Shading, it runs at 4 frames a second, and nothing I do changes this, from lowest to highest with Pixel-Shaders 2.0. Although there's a visual difference, it's just as slow.
So I loaded up ATI control Panel and used SmartGart to enable 8x and Fast-Writes... Rebooted, lots of flickering screen, and Windows XP is now software-rendering everything (Transparent menus take 100% CPU to fade in)
Wait for SmartGart to fix my graphics again, and it's all back to 4x and no fast-write.
Loaded up SiSoft Sandra, to check the settings in there...
Mainboard: "Max Data Rate: AGP 2x"
AGP Card: "Data Transfer Modes Support: 1x, 2x"
"AGP Bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible"
Er... should this be right? BIOS wont let me select an AGP speed, it's "Auto" and I can't select it. I'm a little concerned that my Motherboard may have been damaged! I'll go get the latest Halo Patch, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't use 8x or Fast-Write.
I'm a little apprehensive about flashing my BIOS, made more difficult by the fact that I have no working floppy drive.
CPU: AMD 2600+
RAM: 2x512mb DDR 333MHz Kingston
AlphaGremlin

Well, I updated the VIA drivers, and an updated Sandra. AGP is running at 8x, and Fast-Writes are enabled! I don't know what the hell SmartGart was going on about, but it appears to slunk away and disappeared completely from the ATI control panel since the last reinstall of drivers.
So there's one problem solved... but I don't know what's up with Halo... I can set it to the lowest settings and it still runs like an elephant with three legs, even with the -useff option for Fixed Function shaders... ah well, that's a matter for another forum, eh?
Interesting note: Sandra reports my 120gb drive as 605gb... should I be trusting it?

How to achieve high usb data rate with cRIO-9022?

Hi all,
I read the datasheet of NI-9022 and know that USB data rate can be 480Mb/s.
I want to transfer data with rate 3.6MB/s which is much slower than the spec, but the result is time out error.
I check my FPGA and RT code by save to RT disk and the result is pass. So I think my code should be correct.
Is that because the USB driver not installed into RT?
Should I install the USB driver into RT?
Or is there any other issue I haven't find?
Thanks a lot.

According to this document: Data Storage Options for CompactRIO, depending on many conditions, such as complexity of processor
requirements, USB data can be transferred off the controller at
approximately 700 KB/s.
Also, you don't need a driver to get a USB mass storage device to work on the cRIO. Have a look at this document:
Utilizing Features of the USB Port on My cRIO-901x or My cFP-22xx Controller
Not sure if these issues are causing timeout errors. What happens when you transfer data at lower speeds? Do you get timeout errors then?

Video (or Video + Audio) Data Rate

Wondered if anyone here might know of a software utility that has the ability to scan QuickTime compatible files and either display the video (or video + audio) data rate excursion or, as an alternative, graph the instantaneous variation in the data rate over time.

Apple +I (show info) in QT player will show you the framerate and bitrate while playing.
Thanks for your suggestion, Rick. However, I must point out that the data rate so displayed is simply the total average for the entire clip and not the instantaneous (i.e., constantly changing) variance with time. Preliminary observations tend to indicate the single pass H.264 algorithm begings roughly 10% under the requested data rate and quickly settles very near the target. The multipass algorithm, on the other hand, appears to begin in the vicinity of 300% above the targeed data rate and monotonically decreases throughout the remainder of the movie clip. So much for a quick qualitative analysis based on observations during the actualy encoding process.
What I now wish to do is actually perform a bit of quantitative analysis and, based on those results, correlate actual data rates with the ability of a given H.264 multipass file to sync to an iPod. Basically, I am trying to determine whether or not a user data rate input is used as a comparator during the initial phase of multipass H.264 coding and, if so, how it is implemented. (I.e., how are the delta values handled -- linearly, exponentially, etc.) In addition, I wish to compare QT v7.0.3 with v7.0.4 clips to determine why the latter are less iPod compatible. Too, there remains a question as to whether or not any data rate information is now embedded in the clips themselves since various work arounds tried (i.e., clipping file lengths) have proven unsuccessful.

What chokes H.264 footage: data rate or video dimensions?

I apologize for posting in here but this board is SO much better than the Quicktime or Compressor boards, and it's all the same workflow anyhow!
What I'm wondering is what chokes H.264 videos. Is it low bit rates? High bit rates? Big dimensions? I have an 854x480 video at 500kbps and it looks great, but even on my PowerMac there is slight stuttering, and some alpha tester feedback I've gotten tells me that a lot of slower computers are choking on the video badly.
The file size is ridiculously small, so if increasing the data rate makes it easier to decode, that would be nice.

It's neither - or either, if you will. H.264 achieves unprecedented levels of compression, which means that it's a lot more CPU-intensive to play back in real time. It simply doesn't play well on older hardware. Even slower G5s for example have problems playing back full HD H.264, particularly if it's progressive. It also depends on your GPU - certain GPUs support H.264 decoding, thus significantly offloading the CPU.
One general rule, though: the higher your data rate at any given frame size and frame rate, the less work the decoder needs to do. I'd try to go for approx. 800 kbps at your chosen frame size and see if that helps.
HTH,
Ron

Maintain data rate when transferring clips from XF 305 to FCP 7

Hello
I wonder if someone out there can help.
I have footage shot on a Canon XF305 - 1920x1080p, 50i, 50Mbps which I want to edit in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.
I have installed the Canon XF plug-in and have used Log and Transfer to ingest one short clip as Apple Pro Res 4:2:2 HQ and one clip as Native.
However when I look at Properties of the transferred clips the Data Rate of Pro Res clip is 22Mbps, and of the native clip only 6 mbps. Is this significant or relevent? As the programme is for HD delivery I need to ensure I maintain the 50mbps data rate.
If it isn’t relevent is it better to ingest Native or Pro Res?
I’d be most grateful for enlightenment! :-)

Hi Deborah,
Don't get confused by Mb/sec (megabits) and MB/sec (megabytes) there are 8 bits in a byte, you can do the maths from there.

How to use waveform chart for slow data

For slow data acquisition (e.g. 1 sample / sec) in the case of using DMM, how to display those data in a chart / graph?
For this sampling rate, there will be only 1 point in the chart.
How to buffer them and display them in a sequence?
Or, any other method?
thanks

Here is a quick example showing chart, graph and XY graph. All YOU need to do is use a chart and wire your DMM reading right to it. Charts have their own built in history (you can change the buffer size by right-clicking > Chart History Length)
For more info see the Examples... Building User Interfaces > Displaying Data > Graphs and Charts

What is data rate consumption for iPods?

Since getting two iPod Touches, an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 5, our data consumption has skyrocketed. We are allotted 250GB of data use each month and we are currently sitting at 330GB with a week left.
I checked with netflix and the setting is at .3 (the lowest download rate). No one is home for 8 hours during the day, and we watch netflix about 3 times a week for about 2 to 3 hours.
we don't download movies and computer use is minimal.
We averaged about 120GB of data per month with the IP4 and 1 iPod, now it's skyrocketing.
What can I check on the devices to lower the download data rates?
Yes, our router is locked out, so no one is stealing bandwidth.
Thanks for any suggestions.

LTE oversaturated? 3G data rates on LTE in Charlotte?

For the last couple of days I have noticed extremely slow LTE rates that are often even slower than 3G in some cases - particularly the uptown area, but also in the North Charlotte area where I live. I have confirmed the same issue with multiple people who also have Thunderbolts that they are experiencing drastically reduced data rates; however, I don't think this is phone specific. I remember just last week I could pull down at least 5-10mbps and send back even more. The rates I've been seeing recently are <=.1mbps down and about the same up. That's absurd. I can't even stream music at low quality at that speed.
What's going on Verizon? It's formal announcement time to keep your customers informed.

Well, I may have figured it out partially. Something has happened to Verizon's coverage in various parts of uptown Charlotte - i.e. they're practically nonexistent. I can walk up and down College St and I find that some areas have next to no bandwidth capability whatsoever and others are full strength. This has absolutely nothing to do with the buildings as I have been all over uptown for the last year I have owned this phone and I never had a problem getting full LTE anywhere uptown. I would guess that the towers in the area have been re-prioritized or perhaps Verizon is no longer leasing near as much bandwidth in certain areas? Whatever the reason I have been reduced to practically zero coverage and now have ~1X data speeds unless I walk a block or two away. Awesome.
