Re: [Avid-L2] Multicam and XDCam

Regular XDCAM HD is usually pretty easy for multicam, but XDCAM EX can be processor intensive to decode as it is long GOP.

As far as I know AMA cannot be used for multicam.

All on the terrablock - so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue. It's performing amazingly well for AMA and for multi-cam-long-gop. EXCEPT, it just... stops. I've set my autosave very short...

Other than that, AMA on a single stream is even a crap shoot, and while I know there are supposed multicam improvements in v7, I haven't tested this out.

I get that XDCam is stretch for CPU, but this is a fast machine, and it works just fine for about 15 minutes - then, locks up. Almost always when watching the 4 -up or 9-up (with just 5 sources)
