Mapping

Introduction

Proper drive mapping is crucial for MPEG playback performance. 
Fundamentally, this often involves configuring the driver so that it 
reads from different physical hard drives simultaneously.  In a 
system with two MPEG content hard drives, data should be read 
from both drives at the same time for maximum performance.

The MaxDisks driver parameter is used to specify the number of 
playback storage hard drives used in a system. The driver will 
divide the available playback channels into MaxDisks groups and 
each group will perform concurrent reads (in software terms, each 
group will have a separate ’thread of execution’). Therefore, each 
group of channels should read files from a different physical hard 
drive. You must configure your application so that MPEGs are 
read from the correct drives by the correct channels. 

If MaxDisks is left at the default value of 1, reads from all the hard 
drives will be sequential. That is, only one read of MPEG data will 
be performed at a time. This is normal for a single content drive. 
However with multiple drives, a read from one drive will have to 
be completed before a read on another drive can be initiated. This 
situation does not take advantage of the performance potential of a 
multi hard drive system.

It is actually permissible that a channel group reads from a set of 
physical hard drives, as long as none of the drives in the set belong 
to another channel group. This is beneficial if the MPEG files will 
not all fit on a single drive.  For simplified mapping, it is 
recommended to divide the numbers of channels evenly and 
sequentially across multiple boards.
