MXF & HDV comptability & system specs

Hi,
THis system has a SuperMicro board with two quad XEONS, 16 gigs of RAM, QuadroFX 3800 and two channel AVID SCSI RAIDs. PPRO CS5.5.
THe project is XDCAM HD 35mps shot with PDW 700. 8 hours of material. When I try to put HDV footage shot with a Sony Z1U into the project it freezes.
Tried *.m2t, MPEG, and MXF rendered from both Sony Vegas 10e 64 bit and PPRO 5.5. I captured the footage using a Sony M10U(?) VCR via both Vegas and Premiere Pro CS5.5; made no difference.
Is the low RAM (16 gigs) a factor? THis is driving me crazy and the client is getting anxious because I cannot finish this without using the aerial footage I recorded with the Z1U. When I tried bringing in the material as MPEG (from PPRO CS5.5 capture) it went into an endless "indexing" loop so I closed the project and reverted to the previous version. Please advise if you have any idea why this is happening.
BTW: when I import the m2t files into After Effects CS5.5 it freezes and I have to close it manually.
thanks in advance for any help! Peter

Premiere doesn't like all types of HDV. Specifically those created with other apps. What happens is that Premiere looks at the header, if it's not happy then it reads every single frame before it will import the footage. This can take a considerable amount of time. There is no indication that Premiere is doing anything - hence it appears frozen - if you look at the RAM usage it goes through the roof. Once the files are in Premiere you can edit them BUT if you close and re-open the project again the whole hanging process starts over. It's probably a good idea to convert the files to DVCPro/XDCAM/Cineform/Matrox if you have the option - Premiere will work better with those.

How do I find complete system specs?

Hey there.
My uncle is gonna send me some HP Touchsmart IQ526Ts with product number NE481AV. How do I find the complete system specs?
Please don't suggest using something like speccy or other programs like that. I want to do it on the HP website, and apparently I can't email them b/c warranty is out.
Thanks all,
Zach

Because your machine could be a CTO machine therefore the combinations may not be the same.
Good luck.

Reading System Spec from an Applet

Hi guys.
Can some applet expert tell me what System spec is available to a signed applet to read?
I'm after stuff like amount of physical memory, free HDD space, cpur speed, gfx card etc - the type of stuff you get from DXDiag. I know the majority of it is not available. I was just wondering what was.
Thanks.

Yes, it's possible. Use this:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime ();
Process p = r.exec ( command );++ read the help and use http://www.google.com for more informations.

HDV edit system setup

hi
i work for a large college in essex, uk, as a video production lecturer and was wndering if someone would help me out with a few questions?
we are currently running 18 final cut studio 2 suites on G5's with 4GB of RAM and split hard drives of 170GB and 500GB looking after the system and the captured footage.
what we plan to do is upgrade these entire systems next year hardware wise and go up to final cut studio 3.
does anyone have any advice on what the minimum hardware spec is we should be getting to go with final cut studio 3?
also, we want to have one of the suites (x2 systems) as a HDV room. i was thinking HDV deck, HDV monitors/screens and blu ray internal burners to burn straight from final cut 3.
can anyone with any experience give me any insight into what i'll be needing for a HDV setup? what kind of monitors should i get? or maybe i should just get commercial screens? should i also have a very basic non HD screen to check the worst case scenario? internal or external blu ray burners? do i need some sort of black magic card to play the HDV in and out?
any help would be much appreciated on this.
stephen

split hard drives of 170GB and 500GB looking after the system and the captured footage.
By split, do you mean partitioned?
You need dedicated drives for your media. Keeping it on the same physical drive will cause bottlenecks -the drive has enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. Partitioning will make performance even worse.

How do I find my Netbook's system specs?

I purchased a Netbook from Lenovo.com last month. I custom configured it when I bought it.
I am simply trying to find the exact specs of the system that I ordered and I am having a difficult time finding a list of exact system details. For example, my Dell laptop, I just put in my tag number (serial number) on the webpage and it will give me the configuration of that system. Is there any such tool to access details about my netbook?
Only think I could find was "system details" link here, but unfortunately I cannot connect this netbook to the internet. I purchased this netbook for someone else and so I won't be able to break the seal open on the box. They just want to know the system summary before they get it from me.
Can someone help me with this? I have part number, serial number, model number, etc.

Not sure this will help, as you did not provide the model number of the system in question. There is a free app for Android devices and selected BlackBerry phones, called LenovoLook (all one word) available at the usual app stores. It is a search engine and requires one or more databases to "do" anything. You can use it to look up partnumbers and specs for almost any IBM/Lenovo PC product going back several years. You can have as many databases as you like.
There are some sample databases available at
www.pscfg.com/downloads.htm --
To see what it would look like check out some screen captures of LenovoLook running on an Android phone, at
www.pscfg.com/android.htm
The product descriptions are available in English, French or German. Netbooks are not included in the sample databases posted there (just current ThinkPads, ThinkStations, and ThinkServers, plus some really old & withdrawn stuff from years past). To get a database with Netbooks, you will need to get the PC application that generates the databases, and choose a different family (IdeaPads, in this case). This still may not help, as the PC application (PC Sales Guide/Configurator) does not at this time contain web models created using the build-your-own process via the web. But it may get you close.
Here is a sample of a recent model, to show the sort of details you can get when you search the database.

Can I get System Specs through actionscript in flash

I'm working on a suite of games for schoolkids for an EU
project. It has a very wide reach so I want to create a benchmark
program that schools in countries all over Europe can visit and
email me the results.
From this information, I'll be able to decide how complicated
the games can be etc..
They aren't able (for a myriad of reasons) to just TELL me
what specs their computers have.
Am I able to retrieve stuff like:
MHZ of machine
Processor of machine
System RAM
Monitor resolution
Many thanks in advance,
David

I'm not sure if it can be done in flash, but if you're
creating a little
exe, you can read all that stuff with Zinc...
Maybe you can have the program communicate the specs
automaticly to a
server, instead of emailing it to you :)
I create a lot of educational software too, and I'm curious
about the
results :)

HDV Project-System upgrade

We are starting to offline an HDV 1080/60i project and are upgrading to a Dual 2.8 quad, 2 x 23 in ACD's and MXO. Drives will be Hitachi 1T's in a Seritek PCI enclosure. Online will be on another system either in ProRes422 or Avid DNxHD with an Automatic Duck transfer. Final layoff to HDCAM SR. Workflow will be cuts only native HDV (Sony) with rough cuts BITC back to HDV tape and medium broadband QT BITC files for transcripts and ftp viewings. We will be batching at least 60 hours of tape for this show.
Questions:
In setting up the new Mac Pro is there anything I should be considering? I can put in a cloned drive of 10.4.11 and FCP 6.0.3 or should I go with Leopard, a new hard install of Studio 2 and update all programs? QT 7.5? Anything to watch out for?

DVGeorge,
I am still wallowing the SD DVCAM stone age. I am an independent video producer whose projects are not for big time broadcast but rather DVD distribution and the internet. I shoot my "real" projects with a SONY DSR300 DVCAM camera which is a great camera and has served me well for many years. Like your camera's older relative, I use the SONY VX1000 for my family stuff.
So I have not worked with P2. However, from the info I have recieved in this forum, if I had the bucks and felt I needed the technological upgrade to HD, I would avoid HDV and go for the Panasonics HVX200 with a FS100. I understand that there is a learning curve for the p2 workflow, but it seems to be reliable, less hassles, and better quality than SONY's HDV. I have always had SONY equipment, so this would be a first for me to venture over to Panasonic. If I had some serious bucks I would get a HDX900 but that would require winning the lottery at this stage.
On the computer front, I am about to upgrade from my G4 to a screaming ProMac similar to your set up and you might be able to guess that I am very eager for this to happen. In fact, while I have been researching all the options for the ProMac, I have shorted out several keyboards from drooling.
I was going to wait until next spring when the new OS X comes out (puma, lion, zebra, elk... I forget the name), but by waiting that long it might mean a hefty bill for all the new keyboards.

How do i find my system "specs"??

i think the term for what your system has in it is specs IIRC.....i just need to know how to find how much RAM, memory blah blah blah i have on my Imac G5..plz fast response XD

Click on the blue Apple icon on the top left of your menu bar.
Then click on 'About this Mac'.
That's where all the information is.

System spec help

I have recently purchased the Master Collection CS4 and now need a decent PC. I'm purchasing for the company I work for and am limited to DELL...
I am not a graphic designer or pro video guy. I'll never make a full lengeth movie. 90% of what I need to do is take 1 hour videos of training sessions, trim/edit footage, render out video file, make DVD of video. I have been doing this with a crappy laptop and $100 software for about 4 years and I have finally convinced them to let me get a new PC. The bellow specs hit at about our budget, but I have some room if this is not sufficient for my needs.
So I am looking at the following:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.83GHz, 12M, 1333MHz FSB)
8GB 800MHz Ram
512MB ATI RADEON HD4670
2 - 320GB HDs with 16MB DataBurst Cache
2 - 22" LCD
64-Bit Vista
My IT guy wants to get an OptiPlex 960. I think this would be OK, but the RAM would be maxed out at 8GB in an OptiPlex. Is that a real issue? This machine will be used only for the Adobe software.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the answers! I was a bit unsure. I feel better now! I feel guilty having a nice setup and not much knowledge on its use, but I look forward to learniing. I really like working with video and this could translate into a job change some day after I learn what I'm doing!
I just got an email from my IT guy while typing the first paragraph. He ordered the system as I speced in my first post with a change to two 1TB drives. How should I have them configured. I will not be given a third for now, but I could justify it later probably.
What type of render time should I expect for a 45min video? just basic cuts no "fancy" effects or anything? Source would be AVCHD going to DVD. Just a ball park idea as I'm a bit excited and don't want to over estimate it. I currently set my computer to render and go to bed and hope it's done when I get up.

System specs for indesign

I am upgrading to cs6 (Pr, Ps, Ai...) so i am thinking of buying a new workstation (at work). We buy all our pcs from Lenovo. I have the specs and i just wantend a second opinion about the systems potencial performance with Adobe cs6 products. We usually multitask in our workflow so some apps are almost always runing simultaniously (ID, PS, lightroom, Ai...). Will this system handle the load?
Specs:
Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p Tower
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 (3.4GHz,8M Cache)
Total memory: 16 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz UDIMM (2 DIMM)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 640
HD 1: 180GB SSD 2.5" SATA3 Intel 520
HD 2: 1TB 7200RPM SATA 3.5 6Gb/s
I wanted to go with a faster graphic card but aperantly there is not enough space in the tower for a Nvidia htx 670.
Please tell me what you think.
tnx

I believe the rule of thumb for scratch disk is 4 times the size of the largest file you work on, but you'll have a lot of trouble finding anything that small anymore.
My system is a bit over a year old now and I didn't spend money on SSDs because people I trust said at the time they weren't really ready for prime time. I'm using a 300 GB SATA II drive, which is vastly too large from just a space consideration, but it was relatively inexpensinve and extra space doesn't count againt it. An SSD would probably be faster, but I'm not convinced it would make enough difference to justify the added expense unless you are really a power user in Photoshop. Same goes for RAID, but if you want to hear all the arguments, ask over in the Photoshop forum.

What will happen if i upgrade ram to 4GB which is more than system spec....

Hi,
I have a macbook with following specs:
core 2 Duo
1 Gb stock ram 667MHZ DDR2
Model No: A1181
Part No: MB061X/A
i have found that my macbook only support total of 2GB memory with 1GB memory at each module. i was just wandering what will happen if i put 4GB (2 x 2GB sticks) memory kit in my macbook.
At some forums i have found that it may support upto 3 or 3.3GB memory but will putting extra memory have any kind of negative effect ???
and does any one know what is the supported memory limit of my macbook ???
Cheers,
Sohaib

Thanks for reply...
got 1 more question.... If i'll put 2 x 2GB RAM then still i'll be utilizing the dual channel ??? though only 3GB memory is being used by the system....
I'll start by saying that I've read Intel's chipset datasheets, including their sections on memory controllers, dual-channel, memory speeds, etc. With Intel's memory controller chipsets, they don't access two modules in parallel as an effectively doubled-width data bus. They still only perform read/writes data one module at a time. What you might get with "dual channel" operation is that it can get a small head-start when "ping-ponging" from one module to the other. It anticipates when it will be over, and will start off the other module to get a head start on the latency before data is available. Overall the advantage is small. In fact, Intel does do this when the memory modules aren't even matched for size - they call this "Dual Channel Asymmetric". It's supposed to perform dual-channel up to the high address of the smaller module. If you match sizes (doesn't even have to be identical modules or even speeds) Intel calls this "Dual Channel Interleaved", with the advantage throughout the entire address range.
For your application, some benchmarks suggest a small increase in graphics performance. However - having more memory almost always wins out over trying to achieve "dual channel". Check these tests:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/MacbookMemoryBenchmarks
n if RAM meets the specs of my macbook it won't panic kernel ???
Not likely although poor quality memory could do that when it reaches marginal conditions (i.e. high heat).

Trying to find system specs

Hi - I've just brought a second hand X220 which still has a valid warranty. I've got some worries about it - the thinklight, camera and lid sensor don't seem to work - but before i call support and make a fool out of myself I wanted to check if this particular model even came with a camera.
The model is a 4291-CV3.
I've looked through all the psref documents I can find on Lenovo's website, but I can't find -any- reference to this particular model - can anyone advise one how I can get detailed information about this particular model?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
The fingerprinter reader is located in the palmrest to the right of the TrackPad. You can view exploded diagrams showing all of the parts (along with part numbers) in Chapter 10 of the ThinkPad X220 Hardware Maintenance Manual.
You can check the specifications on the system by running System Information (filename: MSINFO32.EXE) to check what model of processor and amount of RAM are installed in the system. You can issue a "wmic csprodcut get identifyingnumber, name" command from an elevated Command Prompt (filename: CMD.EXE) to display the serial number and model number embedded in the motherboard for the system. Please do not post the serial number publicly, though, as that information is considered private and should be shared in publc messages in the forum.
You would have to contact Lenovo technical support directly on the phone and ask them what they can and cannot do when supporting a used system that is still under warranty as I would imagine the specifics vary based on a country-by-country basis.

Importing HDV Footage: System Hang After Indexing Finished

Running Premiere CS6 with updates.
Generally solid application, but the first time I crashed it this year, was during import of HDV footage. After the footage indexes, and the thumbnail pic changes from 'media pending' to the actual footage frame, the mouse pointer freezes. The keyboard is frozen too. Can't even bring up the Task Manager in Windows 7 64. Is HDV even supported anymore? Maybe it's an invalid format? The file plays fine in VLC, so I don't think it's corrupted. But egads, I've never seen an app hang Windows 7 before!

I've confirmed that the hang does not happen with Canon HV20 footage, only Sony HVR-V1U footage. Any footage shot by that camera will hang not only Premiere, but the entire OS. I have to power down the machine to regain control.
What's so different about Sony's implementation of HDV that it is incompatible with Premiere?

System specs

Hello forum.
I think its time for an update to run CS6 more steady, these are my specs on my PC.
Now i dont want to go overboard to construct a rocket, but I need something better than the current
specs on my pc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Mandir.
thank for the reply,i got an offer from a pc tech to get a new machine with these specs,telling me its going to work like a dynamite.
please tell me what you think?
intel i7-377OK
16gb ram
128 gb ssd hdd
2gb gtx660 card
I get these at exeptional price.
anything I might want to change maybe?
