AJA System Test Application
AJA System Test is a utility for measuring system performance with AJA KONA
Video Capture cards. It is installed with the KONA Driver. The application includes:
• System Disk Test
• AJA Device Test
• Disk + Device Test
• System Report
The application tests Read and Write, Capture and Playback speeds tests in both
Megabytes per second and Frames per second. The disk speed tests differ from
standard disk I/O performance applications in that they specifically test the
system under conditions typically encountered with video capture, playback, and
editing.
The theoretical best test would be to fill your storage disk to 80% and then test
capture at the highest data rate you will use, since this is the slowest your storage
subsystem will run while still having some capacity for capture.
