Transfer data rate

OK, so I have resolved an older problem only to have dropped frames all the time during playback. How do I find out the maximum transfer data rate my processor can handle? ANy suggestions on how to get around an issue like that? If I want clean crisp graphics, how can I avoid the DV codec - which I understand is awful for graphics- yet still be able to play my sequence back without dropped frames?

Hi Kristin,
If I read correctly, you moved everything off your internal drive to an external. This external drive - is it a SATA drive, or FireWire? You mentioned SATA before, so I'm inclined to think that's what it is. If it IS an external Serial ATA drive, when you got it, did you zero all data on the drive before using it?
Also, when you started using this new external, did you change your capture/render drive settings in your prefs in FCP? If not, they may still be set to your system drive, the default, instead of your new external hard drive. If this is the case, change it in FCP, save, and quit. TRASH the render files and move all the capture files from the system disk. re-open FCP, reconnect the moved capture files (if any), and of course, you'll have to re-render most of your timeline. when you do this, it'll render everything to the new hard drive (SATA, yes?), and you SHOULD be good to go.
Now, as for interfacing with a monitor or an external device - are you going throgh firewire to a camera or deck and then to your video monitor? If so, no matter what, you won't be able to view anything but a single frame at a time with uncompressed. The only other thing that I can think of is that your camera/deck/external video device is powered on while you're trying to do this. In order to monitor Uncompressed externally, you need a pretty spiffy video capture card like the Kona. But internally, you should have no issues. So, make sure any external device except a hard drive is turned OFF, and disconnected.
If none of this works, what you may want to do is change your sequence settings back to NTSC/DV for compression, and when you're totally done editing your project, you change them BACK to uncompressed, render, and export an uncompressed file to an external hard drive, take that drive to a video production company, have them slap it on a DigitalBeta tape as a master, and you're good to go.
Hope this helps...

  • Transfer Master Data Rate Routing

  • 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?

  • 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.
    -Fraky

    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.

  • Transfer Data from Palm OS to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US

    (I am Posting this a 2nd time because I'm not sure it went through the first time; got some kind of authenication error message.) 
    - 1. What is the best way to transfer my PIM Organizer Data from my Palm TX to a BlackBerry Z10?
    - 2. How do I obtain the standalone BlackBerry Desktop Software, latest Build of v.6.1? or even a version later than 6.1? or should I obtain v.5.0.1? or v.4.7?
    I am currently a U.S. Cellular customer and when they make the BlackBerry Z10 available, I plan to switch from my Motorola feature phone to the Z10. I currently also use a Palm TX PDA (Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9) and use Palm Desktop Software v.4.2 ( = the CD installation version of
    v.4.1.4e?) on a Windows XPmachine. I could upgrade the Palm Desktop to v.6.2.2, but I haven't because v.4.2 on Windows XP is working well for me.
    The support page for Z10, Transfer from iPhone & Android to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US ( http://us.blackberry.com/support/transferring-to-bb10-device/personal.html ) implies that it does not support direct transfer from Palm OS to BB v10; only transfers from Androids and iPhones, as well as from other BBs, are supported. I have searched your Knowledge Base and found several articles that tell me how to migrate my PIM data from Palm OS to earlier versions of BlackBerry. I then presume that once I have my data imported into the earlier version of BB Desktop I can then later import it into the BB10 Desktop software; am I correct?
    Here are the Knowledge Base articles I found:
    1. Article ID:
    KB03050 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB03050 ) - How to transfer contact information from a Palm OS device to a BlackBerry smartphone
    2. Article ID:
    KB04346 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04346 ) - Field mapping list for the PIM Data Migration Wizard
    3. Article ID:
    KB04437 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04437 ) How to use the organizer data migration wizard
    4. Article ID:
    KB05421 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05421) What is the Switch Device Wizard?
    The four articles all give slightly different advice, but
    Articles # 2 & 4
    imply that I can export the PIM data from Palm to BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    v.5.0.1
    and seem to have the most simple and clear instructions. However,
    Article #3
    implies that I should use BB Desktop Manager no higher than
    v.4.7
    , and
    Article #1
    implies that I can use BB Desktop Software as recent as
    v.6.1
    and use "Method #2", which seems very long and complicated by transferring data to
    Microsoft Outlook
    as an intermediary step!
    So I am confused as to which method to use.
    Articles #2 & 4 & BB Desktop software v.5.0.1 seem the simplest, but if I need to use the latest possible version, 6.1 with Outlook as an intermediary to get superior results, then I am willing to follow this more complicated method as described in article #1. I want to use the method that will give me the best results with the lowest error rate, even it may be the most complicated way.
    ... Help!
    P.S.
    I also use
    Agendus for Windows Palm Desktop Edition v.5.42( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winpded/):
    "Agendus for Windows is an application that enhances how you view your calendar, contacts, tasks and memos. It also provides intuitive tools, such as text capturing, a free time finder, voice recording, advanced search capabilities and Internet features (weather, driving directions, address lookup). All of these things help in make scheduling extremely easy and hassle free."
    It can form hypertext links between the separate databases of the Palm Desktop (calendar, contacts, tasks and memos) so you can flip back & forth between the databses without having to close one before you open the other.
    There's also an
    Agendus for BlackBerry version (
    http://www.iambic.com/agendus/blackberry/
    ), but was developed pre-BB 10, and I think the code is sufficiently different between the BB and Palm versions, that I don't think it is easy to transfer data between them since the BlackBerry version synchronizes with Agendus for Windows Outlook Edition ( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winoued/).
    When I transfer my PIM data from my Palm to a BB-Z10, will I be able to keep those active hypertext links in Agendus in the transfer and still have them work?
    P.P.S.
    I also have
    Palm Desktop by Access v.6.2.2 ( http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/tungsten/tx/unlocked/solutions/article/32859_en.html )installed on a Windows 7 machine, but I find that v.4.2 w/ the Windows XP machine tends to work better. However, I am willing to use whatever combination of Palm Desktop version together with Windows OS version that will get me the best and most accurate results. Palm Desktop v.6.2.2 also has an extension called Palm Conduit Switcher Application (OutlookSwitcher.exe v.1.3.0, which is accessible through Start > Palm > PIM conduit sync > Sync with Outlook) which supposedly will change my Palm handheld to sync w/ Outlook instead of with Palm Desktop; would that accomplish the same thing as Article #1 (ID: KB03050 > Method 2 > Tasks 1,2 & 3) and maybe be easier or do it better? But it would seem that the KB03050 method would leave my Palm Desktop intact, whereas the OutlookSwitcher application could delete my Palm Desktop in a process that would convert my data permanently to Outlook; am I correct? An earlier version of OutlookSwitcher.exe also is included in Palm Desktop v.4.2.
    There are so many questions and options for me, I don't know which way to go! If you and your colleagues don't know the best way either, then I will most likely follow the advice in KB03050 in conjunction w/ upgrading my Palm Desktop to 6.2.2 on my Windows XP machine, since I would have the most control over datafield mapping, and the extra work spent doing that may pay off with a smaller error rate after the transfer, which gets me back to my second question at the top of this article: How can I obtain a copy of the latest Build of BlackBerry Desktop Software v.6.1 as a stand-alone application into which I can transfer all my PIM Data first, *before* I install & syncronize the new BB10 phone? Or should I use a version later than 6.1?
    Sorry for this being so long and convoluted, but after going through all the permutations and combinations, it should be obvious to you that I now need the support of someone more expert and experienced in this before I do anything else. Thanks!

    Hey telemarkdoc,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Currently you can not transfer data from a Palm smartphone to a BlackBerry 10 smartphone through BlackBerry Link.  Also previous versions of BlackBerry Desktop Software will not work with BlackBerry 10 smartphones.
    The only way this could work is that you transfer the information from the Palm software to Microsoft Outlook and then BlackBerry Link can synchronize the contacts and calendar information to the BlackBerry Z10.
    I hope this helps.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • 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.

  • Audio Data Rate digitizing DVCPRO50 over firewire

    I'm having this weird issue when I digitize DVCPRO50 footage into one of my Dual 2Ghz G5s. For some reason, once the clips are in (I'm bringing in entire tapes) -- the audio data rate is at a strange number (like 47722 khz) rather than the standard 48khz. And that number is not consistent -- it ranges from 37782 to 47991. Has anyone ever seen this? It seems to be something with this machine or version of FCP because I can digitize on another G4 or G5 running 4.5 and it comes in fine. But then I have to transfer it via FW drive which is a big hassle. The specs are: Dual 2ghz G5, Panasonic DVCPRO50 SD93 Firewire deck, internal 1TB raid, 2.5GB RAM.
    Please help if you have any ideas.
    Thanks.
    Aaron

    It it maybe a situation where the source uses Drop Frame timecode and the FCP capture setting doesn't? Or vice versa?
    I haven't done the math yet to check, but your sample rate numbers could reflect errors resulting from FCP trying to compute NDF sample rates while looking at incoming DF timecode. Or vice versa.
    The different sample rates would then be the result of different length clips, which would have more or less DF "adjustments" in them, and so would produce different apparent sample rates if view as NDF clips.
    Like I said it's just a guess, but check out to see that your DF or NDF timecode settings are the same for the source as for the capture.
    Maybe I'm right. Or maybe I'm talking through my hat. It's happened before...

  • How to transfer currency rates to R/3 after dynamic modelling in BPS

    Hi all,
    I need your advice.
    I have, for example, a several sales plans, which were composed by using BPS. Each of sales plans depends on currency rates. After comparision these plans, I selected and approved one of them. After plan approval I transfer planned data to R/3.
    This is an issue to transfer currency rates, which corresponded to selected plan as well.
    Is there standart method to transfer currency rates for selected plan to R/3 (to "Currency Exchange Rates", tr-n OB08)?
    Your advice will be appreciated!

    Hi Dmitry,
    R/3 is the place basically meant for maintaining currency translation rates. If they have been maintained in BW/BPS directly, I don't think there is any facility to take them back to R/3 other than manually entering.

  • Maximum data rate RT host can handle (sbRIO 9602)

    Hi all, i got a sbRIO 9602,
    in my application FPGA reads data from custom module @ 1Mhz, just i'm wondering if 
    RT host has the capability to read data and visualize it on a graph without losing samples.
    I just want to know this before look how to implement any Bufferized/Producer consumer/DMA transfer 'cause
    if RT host can't simply manage this data rate i will have soon or later buffer overflow.
    Until now what i've thought is to copy 1000 contiguous samples in a memory in a ONE SHOT way, reading this memory from RT Host and visualize it on a waveform Graph.
    But again if there is the possibility to show acquired data continuously is obviously better.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thank you all for your suggestions.
    In my RT Host i read 10000 values in every cycle so data rate drops to 1Mhz/10000 ->100Hz i think.
    What i want to do know is to detect peaks in my data and create an histogram of that peaks in RT.
    I've placed a peak detector VI that takes as input my array of 10000 values and generate an array with only peaks but i don't understand how to use Histogram PtByPt VI. It works with single data value at a time so to generate a consistent histogram i should wait 10000 cycles and so it may not  be as fast as 100Hz .
    Previuously i've tried to detect peaks and generate Histogram directly on FPGA to be sure to be as fast as possible due to 1Mhz data acquiring, but now with 10000 values chunk i guess if i can realize this on RT host side .
    Any suggestion will be really appreciated.

  • Bridge Point to Point with AP 1552EU - Maximun Data Rate

    Hi all, I have a question for you, and I need your help.!!!
    I have two site (Central and Remote) and I did a link point to point between it. These AP are managed by a WLC 5508, the distance between this AP is 30 Mts or 98 feed, I have configured the channel width in 40Mhz in the WLC, and MCS-5 in the data rate sección of Bridge AP.  I did tests flooding the link and I only can transfer 40Mbps in both directions at the same time. This ap model is 802.11n capable. So how can I increase the data rate from 40Mbps to 100 o more Mbps.?
    The antennas are directional with two ports (TX/RX) and are connected in the ports 1 and 3 of AP.
    I hope your response.
    Thanks,

    Wow.  You're radios are only 100 feet apart and you have 14dBi directional panels hooked up to them?  Hopefully the TX power is configured properly and is turned *way* down.
    You should certainly be able to get 802.11n HT rates between two 1550s with these antennas and 2 spatial streams.  You *should* be able to achieve HT MCS 15 at 40MHz with a PHY data rate of 300 Mbps.  Actual Layer 3 throughput would be approaching 100Mbps, but I think you are more likely to see ~80Mbps in actuality.
    Best of luck!

  • Multiclip Dropped Frames/Data Rates from from FW 800, 7200rpm Drive

    I am using an external Lacie 7200 rpm "Little Big Disk" .. Editing DV Multiclips in Final Cut (3.6 MB/sec data rate per clip... 7 clips/streams) But it won't play back all at once, anything over 15 MB/sec data transfer rate (as I watch Activity Monitor) it starts choking and dropping frames til it just freezes. Lacie claims that this drive handles a steady 80MB/sec transfer rate... All I need to do all these streams is 26 MB/sec (That's the speed it does at work from an XSAN and no problem playing back 7 streams of DV) Is the bog down in my system the FW800, my RAM, processor, or the Cache of the drive? (16MB)

    Do you have any other FireWire devices (incl. cameras) plugged into other ports on the computer or on the drive itself? There's only one FireWire bus on a G5, and it's shared between the FW800 port and the FW400 port on the back in addition to the FW400 port on the front.
    If you have other devices plugged in, they can cause the entire bus to slow down to the speed of the slowest connected device.

  • Extended Airport Express fluctuating data rate

    I have a 2012 Airport Express connected to my broadband router in the far corner of the ground floor of my house. The AX has provided faultless service, except for the fact that it's range drops off when I'm up one floor, on the diagonally opposite side of the house.
    I bought an extra AX to extend the range of the first. It's set to wirelessly extend.
    The problem I've got is that the data rate that the second connects to the first at keeps fluctuating, it can be as high as 144Mb/s, but also drops as low as 1Mb/s.
    The RSSI is approx -76 dBm.
    I assume that the two Expresses are re-negotiating to try to establish the most stable rate? However, with an average throughput from my ISP of 10Mbps, the low rate can really cause problems.
    Can anyone suggest any other reason for the problem?
    Thanks,
    SPD.

    Data links between a pair of express can be very tricky.
    I find in my setup that I do need to restart the remote unit every couple of days.
    But you need to take control of the system.. to make it as stable as you can. Apple have channels set to auto but also band swapping can take place.
    Where you are in a situation where the system becomes unstable step in and take more control.
    On the main Express plugged into the router. Set all new names.. short with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    AX1 say for base name. (second one will be AX2.)
    I recommend using different wireless names.. others will disagree but I find it helps.
    So AX24ghz and AX5ghz (I am assuming your 2012 is the new gen2 AX)
    Set fixed channels.. try 11 for 2.4ghz and 36 for 5ghz to start with.
    With your upstairs AX2, you will then set to extend on say 5ghz band.. and give it a try.. see what the connection is like and if you get better transfer speeds.. if so stick with it.. 2.4ghz has better signal penetration but poorer speeds.. 5ghz can work poorly at a distance.. but in my double storey house I find from one end to the other, 5ghz is still faster and cleaner signal.. even though the signal level is lower.
    If 5ghz doesn't work well then you will need to stick with 2.4ghz.
    Some strange effects come out of all this.. but it is well worth a try.
    I have noted when replying to this question.. several times.. that a v5 airport utility makes this easier as it shows more info.. link speed. Apple removed so much info in v6 utility to make your mac look like an ipad.. that it is a shame to call it a utility.. more like a toybox. So if you can possibly run v5 utility do so and you will then be able to track exactly link speeds.
    This is my setup.. centre shows the main AP.. with the two each side extending the signal.
