High Interleave Depth on Downstream - Previously o...

Hi,
I have been having some latency issues with my VDSL line since I was required to re-locate the HG612 modem a couple of times due to some decorating that was going on. After leaving the line in sync for over 14 days after the work was complete, DLM did not return my line to normal. I performed a reset of the modem yesterday evening in an attempt to remove the high downstream interleave depth. I don't believe there to be any issue on the line, just simply that I had to power on/off the modem a couple of times.
Unfortunately since then, the modem has re-sync'd with a very high interleave depth (856) on the downstream. The upstream remains on fastpath interleave depth 1.
Can the Mod team perform a line profile reset on my VDSL line please as I used to have a latency that was sub 8ms, now its up near 30ms. I host some NS2 dedicated servers which are heavily dependant on low MS to the target client so a reset would be appreciated.
I can perform the bt speedtest if required, however as I run a dual-wan setup combined with VirginMedia 120Mb you will get an errornous result as the downstream & upstream testing as my line is 180Mbit/22Mbit in dual-wan lb mode.
I would appreciate it if the Mod team can perform this for me, just to return the line back to fastpath 1 on the downstream. I believe any FTTC/FTTH provider should be able to manage the DLM functionality of the VDSL with the provided details from OpenReach, as letting DLM use its automated functionality is fine but it is far from a polished and finished system. DLM has its own problems in both ADSL and VDSL technology, as such it would be wise for BT to request the DLM disable functionality from OpenReach as a large portion of users (people who do gaming or use VOIP) would prefer a full fastpath line regardless of the minor amount of errors.
Cheers,

if you counted these you may be able to look back and see why your profile has been lowered
As I have mentioned, the line has very little errors and had no retrain in over 14days. Stil, the interleave on the downstream is present as DLM is either frozen or not reading the line correctly.
Prior to this the modem was disconnected twice, once to place it on a longer extension to be relocated up on the shelf, the other to return it back to its original home without the power extention.
Im aware of exactly what DLM does, however in this instance it is not functioning correctly. If it requires manual intervention to nudge it back in to fastpath, thats all I require.
Not allowing the manual setting of FastPath with DLM auto functionality disabled is a serious oversight from the engineers involved in the provisioning of the product. DLM should always be present for the 'average' user to see lolcats online with a stable connection, plus most users are only interested in throughput over latency. However in certain circumstanes DLM should be manually specified to the needs of the end user/customer.
If there was enough demand from the customer base, it would get done. However most people just assume the latency they have on Infinity is 'how it is'. There are quite a number of threads asking for FastPath to be introduced on the product but without the community/customers forcing the issue, nothing will be done.

Is my ping too High ?

Hello
As above im just checking my ping speed.
Just tested and i think its high.
Im on Infinity 2 and on FastPath.
I thought it would be lower .
May sound silly but my internet does seem " sluggish "

Mine shows Fastpath on the DSL screen but i still have a high Interleave depth when you have a look on telnet.
Turn on Telnet on the Router. On the Administration page.
Download Putty
Login to the router through Putty
Then copy in - cat /tmp/adsl/info_adsl.txt
It should give you all the stats.

Noise Margin a bit high?

It's not to high, however, when i have my interleaving changed over auto my noise margin has gone no lowered that 8.0db, also it hasn't allowed me to sync any higher than 6.3mb when previously i was getting between 7-7.5MB, would this be the problem for me not achieving higher sync?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

i would ask the mods to reset your noise margin to 6 which will increase your connection speed. also many 21CN adsl2+ connections are running on noise margins of 3db so with a stable connection it may well be that your connection will do likewise given more time
contact mods
can take up to 3 working days for mods to contact you

Extremely slow and high latency all day.

DSL is running extremely slow during peak hours from 12 afternoon to 12 midnight. Lower than 50% of rated speed and high latency
I have been frustrated with this DSL Service for months now. I am considering contacting BBB to file a complaint and I am tired of dealing with customer service giving me the run around. Internet is a monopoly in my area therefore verizon feels it doesn't have to do anything to keep its customers when they provide crappy service. I am on waitlist for another internet service provider and it is going to take almost a year because of how bad the internet options are in the area and demand for better options. I even had to pay over 100 dollars to get a truck roll come to my house to fix any issues within the house and the internet has not gotten better. Atleast I feel I should get a refund or something.
Here is my speedtest result just now. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2899553407
It has been even slower at other times. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/2893509440
Modem is Westell 6100 or something.

Here is what ICSI Netalyzer Results have stated.
Network Access Link Properties + –
Network performance (?): Latency: 580 ms, Loss: 15.5% –
The round-trip time (RTT) between your computer and our server is 580 ms, which is somewhat high. This may be due to a variety of factors, including distance between your computer and our server, a slow network link, or other network traffic.
We recorded a packet loss of 16%. This loss is very significant and will lead to serious performance problems. It could be due either to very high load on our servers due to a large number of visitors, or problems in your network. Of the packet loss, at least 14.0% of the packets appear to have been lost on the path from your computer to our servers.
TCP connection setup latency (?): 720ms –
The time it takes for your computer to set up a TCP connection with our server is 720 ms, which is quite high. This may be due to a variety of factors, including a significant distance between your computer and our server, a particularly slow or poor network link, or problems in your network.
Background measurement of network health (?): 3 transient outages, longest: 0.8 seconds –
During most of Netalyzr's execution, the client continuously measures the state of the network in the background, looking for short outages. During testing, the client observed 3 such outages. The longest outage lasted for 0.8 seconds. This suggests a general problem with the network where connectivity is intermittent. This loss might also cause some of Netalyzr's other tests to produce incorrect results.
Network bandwidth (?): Upload 700 Kbit/s, Download 2.3 Mbit/s +
Network buffer measurements (?): Uplink 5400 ms, Downlink 1200 ms –
We estimate your uplink as having 5400 ms of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time.
We estimate your downlink as having 1200 ms of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large downloads.

Your ISP's DNS server returns IP addresses even for domain names which should not resolve. Instead of an error, the DNS server returns an address of 199.101.28.20, which resolves to search.dnsassist.verizon.net. You can inspect the resulting HTML content here.
There are several possible explanations for this behavior. The most likely cause is that the ISP is attempting to profit from customer's typos by presenting advertisements in response to bad requests, but it could also be due to an error or misconfiguration in the DNS server.
The big problem with this behavior is that it can potentially break any network application which relies on DNS properly returning an error when a name does not exist.

Bit Depth and Render Quality

When you finally export media to some sort of media format via the encoder does the projects preview Bit Depth and Render Quality settings affect the output file?
I know there is "Use Preview files" setting in the media exporter dialogue but I just want to be sure of what I am doing.

Jeff's response is my perspective, as well, which is both backed up by my own tests and the official Adobe word.
Exhibit A: My Tests
That is DV footage with a title superimposed over it in a DV sequence, with a Gaussian blur effect (the Premiere accelerated one) applied to the title; all samples are from that sequence exported back to DV. This was to show the relative differences of processing between software and hardware MPE, Premiere export and AME queueing, and the effect of the Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality options on export (not the sequence settings; those have no bearing on export).
The "blooming" evident in the GPU exports is due to hardware MPE's linear color processing. I think it's ugly, but that's not the point here. Further down the line, you can see the effect of Maximum Bit Depth (and MRQ) on both software MPE and hardware MPE. I assume you can see the difference between the Maximum Bit Depth-enabled export and the one without. Bear in mind that this is 8-bit DV footage composited and "effected" and exported back to 8-bit DV. I don't understand what your "padding with zeroes" and larger file size argument is motivated by--my source files and destination files are the same size due to the DV codec--but it's plainly clear that Maximum Bit Depth has a significant impact on output quality. Similar results would likely be evident if I used any of the other 32-bit enabled effects; many of the color correction filters are 32-bit, and should exhibit less banding, even on something 8-bit like DV.
Exhibit B: The Adobe Word
This is extracted from Karl Soule's blog post, Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more. This section comes from Adobe engineer Steve Hoeg:
1. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame,
then write DV at 8-bit.
2. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit
frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit
blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
3. A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We
will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,
apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit
frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality
because the final output format supports greater precision.
4. A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag.
We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit
frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another
8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
5. A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag.
We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit
frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another
32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
6. A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
7. A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor
(with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in
32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
Bullet #2 is pretty much what my tests reveal.
I think the Premiere Pro Help Docs get this wrong, however:
High-bit-depth effects
Premiere Pro includes some video effects and transitions
that support high-bit-depth processing. When applied to high-bit-depth
assets, such as v210-format video and 16-bit-per-channel (bpc) Photoshop
files, these effects can be rendered with 32bpc pixels. The result
is better color resolution and smoother color gradients with these
assets than would be possible with the earlier standard 8 bit per
channel pixels. A 32-bpc badge appears
to the right of the effect name in the Effects panel for each high-bit-depth
effect.
I added the emphasis; it should be obvious after my tests and the quote from Steve Hoeg that this is clearly not the case. These 32-bit effects can be added to 8-bit assets, and if the Maximum Bit Depth flag is checked on export, those 32-bit effects are processed as 32-bit, regardless of the destination format of the export. Rendering and export/compression are two different processes altogether, and that's why using the Maximum Bit Depth option has far more impact than "padding with zeroes." You've made this claim repeatedly, and I believe it to be false.
Your witness...

Intermittent high ping issues

I've been having occasional high ping issues for quite a while now. They come and go at irregular times, and I'm not sure how to resolve this. Other computers on the network are showing similar latency.

Maximum Bit Depth /Maximum Render Quality Questions

Maximum Bit Depth
If my project contains high-bit-depth assets generated by high-definition camcorders, I was told to select Maximum Bit Depth because Adobe Premiere Pro uses all the color information in these assets when processing effects or generating preview files. I'm capturing HDV using the Matrox RTX-2 Hardware in Matrox AVI format.
When I finally export my project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4, will selecting Maximum Bit Depth provide better color resolution once I post to Blu-ray format?
Maximum Render Quality
I was told that by using Maximum Render Quality, I maintain sharp detail when scaling from large formats to smaller formats, or from high-definition to standard-definition formats as well as maximizes the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences. It also renders moving assets more sharply. It's my understanding that at maximum quality, rendering takes more time, and uses more RAM than at the default normal quality. I'm running Vista 64 Bit with 8 GIGs of RAM so I'm hoping to take advantage of this feature.
Will this also help to improve better resolution when I finally export my project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and post to Blu-ray format?
Does it look like I have the specs to handle Maximum Bit Depth and Maximum Render Quality when creating a new HDV project with the support of the Matrox RTX 2 Hardware capturing in Matrox AVI format? See Below Specs.

Just some details that i find useful on maximum render depth
You really need it even with 8bit source files, when using heavy grading/multiple curves/vignettes. If after grading you see banding, go to sequence > sequence settings from the top menu and check "maximum bit depth (ignore the performance popup), then check again your preview (it will change in a second) to see if banding is still present in 32bit mode. If no banding, you must check it when exporting, if banding is still there, change your grading, then uncheck it to continue with editing.
Unfortunately Maximum bit depth exporting is extremely time-consuming, but can really SAVE YOUR DAY when facing artifacts after heavy grading, by completely or almost completely eliminating banding and other unwanted color distortions.
Use it only for either small previews or the really final output.
Best Regards.

Apple Pro Res "Render at Maximum Depth"

From my understanding, Apple Pro Res maxes out at 12 bit with DSLR cameras in movie mode not even reaching that. Yet, the setting for "Render at Maximum Depth" offers 24 to 64 bit. Anyone know what the story is with this setting?
And does anyone know the settings for Apple Pro Res 4444 at its highest quality when coming from H.264?
Thanks.

A question for you - what is your workflow where you think you might need this? Keep in mind that the majority of cameras only record 8-bit color, and also in a very highly compressed format, so you won't necessarily gain anything by going to 4444, as the source video is of limited quality already.
Basically, if you don't have any high-bit-depth sources in your timeline to preserve the quality of, there may be little or no benefit to enabling "Max Depth".

Photoshop - Fade is onion ringed with high contrast? - No true fade possible?

Hi everyone, am I being totally stupid (possible) or can you just not get a true fade on a computer / Photoshop?!
Any image I take, if I make the contrast high enough, the fade / vignette gets onion ringing. I paint with the most
blurry brush, I can 'Blur' it ad nauseum, and it doesn't really change it. Is it a mode, I've tried Adobe RGB 98 and
sRGB. This doesn't seem to be a common problem, but mabye people don't notice it too much? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

What you want to do is work in 16 bits/channel mode.
With a good monitor and video card, you can see the distinctions between each of the 256 levels of grayscale. This is also sometimes visible in nearly solid colors as well - such as skies.
Video cards and monitors generally provide 8 bit/channel color, but they don't always maintain that all the way through. Better ones do, and now we're starting to see the advent of 10 bit/channel pipelines, though that's not mature.
What you see on the monitor isn't necessarily what's in the document, especially if you use deep data, as I mentioned above.
From the sound of things, it seems as though your video card / monitor pipeline isn't providing very high bit depth at some point in the process. As you were told in another thread (if I recall correctly) a poorly set monitor and a radical profile created by a calibrator to compensate could be involved in this.

Bit Depth: 8 Bit., 16 Bit or 32 Bit. Which one and why?

Which bit depth should I choose and what are the pros and cons of each? I am currently using 8 Bit.
Thank You,
Sebastian

A higher bit depth will give more values of a colour or greyscale that you can work with. So, for example a graduated background may show banding in 8 bit but not 16 or higher.
It all depends what your content originated from, what you are doing and where it will end up, there is no point doing black & white text in 32bit!

After Effects 8-bit depth question

Hey everyone, this is something i've just been wondering about. Correct me if i'm wrong but its my understanding that with 10-bit depth footage or higher After effects crunches it to 8-bit after the render/export. If that's the case then what is the actual point of capturing at higher bit depths in the first place if we can't maintain them when it comes down to final delivery?
Thanks very much for any help.

You're only partly wrong. If you keep the project 8bit then you're right, but that's a terrible workflow. Where most folks foul up is in the rendering.
After Effects offers 8bit, 16bit, and 32bit processing options. If you render a 32bit project to an 8 bit codec, you get 8bits, but if you render a 32bit project to a 10bit codec (Black Magic, ProRez, or several other flavors of higher bit depth codecs) you get a 10bit product. You can also render to 16 or 32 bit image sequences.
All of these settings are available in the Adobe Media Encoder or through the Output Module settings in the Render Cue. Since I work primarily on a Mac all of my production renders are to ProRez 422 or 444 (10bit) unless I'm freelancing at a facility that works with another capture card. Most places I work use Black Magic cards so we render to the Black Magic 10 bit codec.
My standard workflow is to start with an 8bit project, set up the project and render motion and compositing tests, then switch to a 32bit project settings, do the color correction, then render to a production codec that is at least 10bit.
BTW, don't use the export feature in AE for any kind of delivery. Export's only professionally usable export is Flash Professional XFL if you need animated motion or text in a flash project or Premiere Pro Project if you want to use Premiere to edit your AE project.
I hope this helps.

Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export - "render at max depth" and "24 bit or 48 bit depth"?

I'm exporting my 90 minute feature for DCP using the Apple Pro Res 422 HQ codec. The film is 1920x1080 and that is what the export will be. We used a variety of cameras (Canon 7D, Sony XR160, GoPro, Blackmagic in HD) for the film.
For the export options:
Do I check "Render at Maximum Depth"?
Which do I choose - 24 bit or 48 bit depth? - one has to be chosen even when "Render at Maximum Depth" is unchecked
When I asked the DCP house, they said that "Render at Maximum Depth doesn't actually do anything when using this codec" and haven't answered the 24 vs. 48 bit question.
This discussion:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4529886#4529886
says that you "never need to enable the Max Render Quality (MRQ) unless you are exporting in a format/pixel ratio different from your original video."
This discussion:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/5619144#5619144
adds insight into what 24 vs 48 bit depth means, but doesn't answer my specific question

High Latecy, modem speeds DSL

Our service has been rock solid the last 6 years. For the last week, especially since last wednesday. The speeds have been horrible. We are talking modem speed here. Packet loss of 15-25%. Latency of 60ms - 600ms. That's with only one computer plugged into a westell 6100.
Verizon techs wanted to replace the modem, the dlink 2750b made matters worse. They are sending a 784. I'm not convinced that the modem is the problem. When I would give ping, traceroute, and packet loss stats, they would just ignore them.

I should also be able to get 7mbps as well, but verizon says no.
Any help/suggestions would be awesome!

I suspect this is a congestion issue if this only occurs at night. If it occurs at all times and it is not due to something running on your network, then this is entirely on Verizon's end.
For 7.1Mbps, I'd say it's a go. We need to find out from Verizon what gear you're on that makes them say yes or no.
Keep pestering Verizon for help, and indicate that this isn't a modem problem. Those 6100s were some of the best modems Verizon every handed out, especially if you have the old C90-6100. Those things were built well and last forever. If you have any trouble with Verizon let me know and I'll see if I can get you to someone who can help.
