    DecompStream Error

    SO...

     

    3.0 and 3.01 MC Mac Machines - all built to spec - on Intel Mac Pros - (I'm seeing this on 20 of them so far )

     

    Full disclosure - We are on non-supported 3rd party fiber storage. (like most of you.)

     

    When playing a 6 to 9 stream multigroup of 10:1m media (MXF) and specifically when we fast forward, we get one of three behaviors:  decompstream errors (from crashlog), "a serious error has occurred" or the favorite... MC completely exits to finder.

     

    Anyone seeing these?

    Ok, Update - it is happening on Unity too.

    No excuses Tewksbury. ;)

    Re: DecompStream Error

    What version of unity?  Switch type?  4Gig speed?

    Also, is there any hardware included?  Mojo/Nitris DX, SDI Mojo, DNA, etc...or only running in MCSoft mode?

    And does it happen if the media is running off the internal harddrive?

    20 machines - Mojo-SDI, regular Mojo, Adrenaline, MC Nitris DX and MC Soft. lol I have this in 3 locations on all sorts of hardware.

    I have no idea about local storage because I can't use local. Avid has this in the lab, if they want to test that, I'd be happy to let them. I'll probably test next week if we get a few minutes.

    The Unity is a 4GB Lanshare LP all fiber clients on current Atto cards. The 3rd Party is SATA/Fiber RAIDs running with a q-logic 5600 and LSI cards with the SNS Ellipse deiver and firmware.

     

    Anyone else doing a large multicam show out there?

    Bringing this back to the front page. Marianna, thank you, the client got a call back.

     

    This is apparently a known bug on the Mac. PC's don't seem to have this problem. Dog, can you verify that?

    I'll make sure and keep this on the front page as a great marketing tool for 3.0 until we see a little movement.

    ;)

    Re: DecompStream Error

    Got a call from a tech from Avid yesterday confirming this bug on the mac, in a 9 frame multicam stream. It is non-storage related and will be fixed in a "not named nor dated" upcoming point release. Until then, reality TV is either mad or on 2.x.

    Peace and thanks to Marianna for the attention.
