TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

11/25/2002

1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

There are a lot of talented computer techies in the non-linear editing industry, and for them, Jacques Pepin

(popular chef extraordinaire) summed it up nicely: "For people like us who love to cook, it is easier, more

fun, more exciting, and more rewarding to cook without any recipes." We hope they never waver their quest

for the perfect NLE, and we actually stand to learn quite a lot from them. However, for those who would

rather cook by the book, this "cookbook" provides information which will help the computer technician

understand how to tailor a system around the TARGA 3000 family of products. For those who would rather

edit than cook computers, Pinnacle Systems Certified or Recommended Workstations are listed here.

The individual using this document must be technically capable to understand and interpret this information.

Neither this document nor Pinnacle Systems Technical Support will educate the computing novice or casual

integrator about the details needed to construct a reliable, high performance editing workstation. Experience

has proved that a better use of time and money is to rely on a Pinnacle Systems Authorized VAR (Value

Added Reseller) to configure and support a fully integrated TARGA 3000 editing workstation. For a list of

Authorized VARS, visit Pinnacle System's website at www.pinnaclesys.com.

This is a working document, periodically updated as new information or knowledge is acquired. Regardless

of the advice given here, Pinnacle Systems does not warrant or guarantee the performance of the systems

or components recommended.
