Example with Standard and Supermotion Channels
Can I run an XT3 server with 2 record channels (1 super motion + 1 standard) + 2 play
channels (1 super motion + 1 standard) in Avid DNxHD® with a video bitrate of 120Mbps
in PAL ?
Calculation:
• 1 standard rec/play at 120Mbps uses 14.8 MB/s
• 1 super motion record/play at 120Mbps uses 44.4 MB/s
• All channels will use: 2 x 14.8 + 2 x 44.4 = 118.4 MB/s.
Conclusion: this configuration is supported as it is lower than 400 MB/s.
Example with Multi-Essence Configuration
Can I run an XT3 server with 4 record channels + 2 play channels in the multi-essence
configuration with Apple ProRes 422 HQ with a video bitrate of 220 Mbps and with
XDCAM (with a video bitrate of 50 Mbps) in NTSC?
Calculation:
• 1 standard rec/play at 220 Mbps uses 30.0 MB/s,
• 1 XDCAM record at 50 Mbps uses 6.4 MB/s,
• All channels will use: 6 x 30.0 + 6 x 6.4 = 218 MB/s.
Conclusion: this configuration is supported as it is lower than 400 MB/s.
