Real-Time Channel Calculation
Rule
The maximum server bandwidth depends on the disks. Based on the assumption that
Seagate disks of 300 GB (10K5) are used in 4+1 raids, the disks will be able to write 400
MB/s, and the maximum server bandwidth is therefore 400 MB/s.
For a mixed configuration with standard and super motion channels on the same EVS
server, the following calculation must be used to ensure that the settings do not exceed
the maximum bandwidth of the server, that is to say 400 MB/s:
(nbr of standard channels x their block-based bandwidth)
+ (nbr of super motion channels x their block-based bandwidth)
For a multi-essence configuration, a similar calculation is used, and the results cannot
exceed the maximum server bandwidth:
(nbr of standard channels x their block-based bandwidth)
+ (nbr of XDCAM channels x their block-based bandwidth)
/(nbr of Lo-Res channels x their block-based bandwidth)
