If you are currently running your Avid DS Nitris on an
HP xw8200 workstation, it’s time to re-energize
your system by upgrading to the quad core xw8400.
Avid engineers have concluded an extensive testing program,
comparing the performance of a quad core xw8400-based
system versus the dual core xw8200, and the results are
impressive whatever effect is used, particularly for Dual
Link systems working with 4:4:4 HD media:
| Effect
with 4:4:4 HD media |
Average
performance increase of xw8400 over xw8200 |
| Transitions |
68% |
Timewarps
|
63% |
| Time-based effects |
68% |
| Keyers |
67% |
| Color correction |
66% |
| Simple composites |
65% |
| DVE’s |
137% |
| GFX + Timewarps |
300% |
The results with SD material are equally impressive:
An average performance increase of 107%!
Of course, the actual improvement figures are dependent
on many factors so they can not be guaranteed, but it
is clear that upgrading the CPU of an xw8200-based Avid
DS Nitris system will give you a large boost in performance
and productivity.
