HP Z400s under spec for HD in CS4 edition. What is the best way to go?

Hi all

I recently bought the three HP Z400 workstations for editing XDCAM EX 1080i (HQ) a timeline in Premiere CS4. It's a very hasty and ill-informed purchase. Unfortunately I only came across the Adobe forum after that I ran into trouble with 1 and 2 workstations. After reading a lot of useful messages, it is quite obvious that new two of my machines have the ability to edit full HD 1080i chronologies stably.

Before I describe my problems, I'll describe my system specs:

Z400 1 workstation

Windows XP 32-bit
Xeon W3505
3 GB RAM
GPU: Quadro FX 1800
C: 500 GB OS/programs
D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

Z400 Workstation 2

Windows XP 32-bit
Xeon W3520
3 GB RAM
GPU: Quadro FX 3800
C: 500 GB OS/programs
D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

Z400 Workstation 3 (this machine works well and has not had stability problems)

Windows Vista 64-bit
Xeon W3540
8 GB RAM
GPU: Quadro FX 3800
C: 500 GB OS/programs
D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

While I was able to edit clips XDCAM EX 1080i HQ on all these systems, work stations 1 and 2 are very unstable, crashing regularly, especially when rendered.

I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, so after reading through the many excellent posts here, I'm still not entirely sure which is the best way forward for me to put jobs 1 and 2 to the height. It is clear on reading these posts that I more capitalized on GPU cards, underestimated the importance of the RAM and committed a fundamental error of my choice of operating system:

• In the spirit of the community - are the specs for Workstation 3 enough for stable HD editing?
• What is the best solution with 1 and 2 workstations? Reader threads I guess I upgraded Vista 64 bit OS and spend at least 6 GB of RAM - it would be enough? If this is not the case, what do you suggest? In addition, the existing processors (w3505 and w3520) are quite fleshy for work?
• And this could take liberties... all topics widely discussed on this forum; I'm having trouble getting my head around storage. What is the best configuration that I do with my current gear (z400 motherboard) for HD editing (including adding additional disks)?

Thanks in advance... I'm not much of a techie, so all the words of wisdom are like gold dust.

See you soon,.

Your CPU 3505 is only a dual core chip.  Certainly working on upgrading the CPU on a quad core.  I don't know if HP offers capabilities overclocking on this motherboard single processor.  If so, you could try prejudice overclocking guide lines since it is structurally almost identical to the i7-920.

To the power of the processor which is the most important point for the creation, you can use one of these processors W3520 / W3540 / W3570 (2.66 to 3.20 GHz, 8 MB L2 cache) If you prefer do not overclock or if HP didn't you provided the functionality in the BIOS.

Certainly wait (I think that it is the date) October 22 to Win 7 64 bit OS it is certainly faster than Vista 64.

Incidentally, I don't know if you have ordered these units, but it may be useful to call HP and see if you are eligible for a free upgrade to Win 7.

  • What is the best way of reformatting my MacBook ssd for resale?

    I'm preparing my 2015 12 '' MacBook 1.3 GHz 512 for resale.  What is the best way to erase and reformat the SSD drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

    1. run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

    2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running the utility in recovery mode firmware password.

    4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

    6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

    8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Note also:

    You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.)

    The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

    How to paste RTF or text Document?

    I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

    So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

    He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

    It is best to place any text.

    You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

    It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

  • What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I'll be very grateful for any help in this matter. Thanks to Chris

    Hello

    What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

    Thanks to Chris

    If you emptied the Recycle Bin after you move the folder to the trash, and you don't have a time Machine or another backup, then it is lost, sorry.

  • What is the best way to always increment at index 0 only for an array of multiple elements?

    The principle is to complete a worksheet of left right in the same line but the increment of the column letter only (IE - B4 and C4 etc.). Herewith, I adapted an existing example VI that works for an array of 2 elements (ie - B4) but does not work for a 3-element array (ie - B40, B50 becomes). Keeping simple, what is the best way easier to modify my existing code to always check that the size of the table and the index automatically return to 0 to correctly increment the first letter only (IE - B) and not the number (IE - 4)?

    Thank you!

    Barry

    Instead of 'index automatically to zero', why not just make a zero instead of the size of table manipulation-1-1?

    Of course it will all fall apart once you get to column Z.

    Also look into the Board of Excel.   Do not post question.  This is just a link to the other discussions related to Excel.  Some of them might give you ideas how to manipulate your cell references.

    Hi mmosher,

    If your PIXMA MX922 should not be used for an extended period of time, please put your PIXMA MX922 using the power button on the unit.  It will be a "cap" of the ink tanks, so they will be ready to use when you print with your PIXMA MX922 once again.  No further action is required.

    As performance is concerned, a lot would depend on as to how your design & logic is implemented and you presented search operations to support the specific performance problems. In fact the operation itself can be not expensive than in-house it is somewhat like a search for key/value of the objects in session/application context name. But having said that, Yes, a potential performance problem could be because it's a synchronized operation. So to avoid searches to be performed during each request, caching the results of a search of a component. And in the majority of cases to solve a 'A' component within your component, you must configure a property reference 'A' in the file properties for your component.
