Hello all.
During playback of 720P video... the footage is bogging down and the audio is dropping out.. and it happens like every 10-15 seconds or so.
I am pretty sure the speed of my computer is to blame but I wanted to post this question to you all here.
I have a single Quad Core HPZ600 E5640 2.66GHZ workstation with 4GB of RAM. It's outfitted with Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 3D capture card and a Nvidia Quadro FX 1800 graphics card. It also has a 500GB system drive, a separate internal 3 TB A/V capture drive and an external 4TB G-Raid drive. I am attempting to capture a scaled 4:3 image that is coming out of a Kramer VP727 dual scaler mixer within the 720P frame in Media Express. In the task manager.. the CPU load is only about 13% but the system Physical Memory is running at about 50%.
Before you ask.. yes I have run the Blackmagic Disk Speed application and it says that the speed of the computer can only capture SD NTSC or PAL. So it seems obvious that my computer is not fast enough. The problem with that for me is that Media Express only captures NTSC 720x486i 59.94 and my mixer only outputs 480P! So.. although I would LOVE to settle with SD.. I can't even do that. My only option is 720P.
So.. I want to ask my supervisor if we can upgrade to a 2nd matching Quad Core and some more memory but i wanted to get someone's input from here.
I can furnish whatever further information you might need... if you can help me iron out this issue.. I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks a lot,
JB
