EVS XT nano User Manual

Example
How many real-time transfers can be processed over a 1GbE network if I work with Avid
DNxHD® 120 Mbps in PAL, and if the maximum GbE bandwidth on my network is
70MB/s?
Calculation: Maximum GbE bandwidth / actual block-based bandwidth = real time
transfers
70MB/s / 14.9MB/s = 4.7 real time transfers.
Important Recommendations
• For 6-channel configuration, maximum bitrates for Avid DNxHD® or Apple ProRes
422 should be 220Mbps (NTSC) or 185Mbps (PAL).
• “Super Motion + 1 Cam” configuration (i.e. 1 Super Motion REC + 1 Std REC + 1
Super Motion PLAY + 1 Std PLAY): maximum bitrates for Avid DNxHD® or Apple
ProRes 422 should be 145Mbps (NTSC) or 185Mbps (PAL).
• When using the Avid DNxHD® codec, we advise to work at 100Mbps if the picture
quality is satisfactory so that the XTnano can sustain 6 local channels + 5 network
transfers.
