1.0 What’s new for ISIS 7500 | 7000 v4.6

 The 4.6 release supports the ISIS 7500 128TB Engine using the new i8000 ISB.  Avid has added support for Windows v8.1 and Mac OSX v10.9.

2.0 What’s new for ISIS 7000 v4.5

 The Avid ISIS 7000, Avid ISIS 5500 | 5000 and Avid ISIS 2000 infrastructures now support

clients with the Windows 8 64-bit operating system. Note: Version 4.5 will be the last ISIS Client Manager release tested on workstations and

laptops with the Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista Operating Systems. It is recommended that you update your client Operating Systems to Windows 7 or Windows 8 if you plan to upgrade to future versions of ISIS software.

 This release supports Symphony/Media Composer v7.0.x, 6.5.x, 6.x and 5.5.x.  The Avid ISIS 7000, Avid ISIS 5500 | 5000 and Avid ISIS 2000 infrastructures now support Red

Hat® Enterprise Linux® v6.2 and 6.3 clients. 1 Gb and 10 Gb connections are supported. At this time 2 X 1 Gb offers redundancy with no performance benefit.

 Mac OSX finder level copy performance and directory navigation improvements: ISIS v4.5

dramatically increases the performance of copying files to and from ISIS workspaces and allows you to browse directories with high file counts quickly. Directory browsing performance improvements will only be realized on newly copied material- any material that was written to ISIS workspaces prior to v4.5 may exhibit degraded performance until the files are copied to a new ISIS location. Note that moving workspaces from one storage group to another will not improve performance for browsing existing directories- the directories and files themselves need to be copied to another location.

 Mixing media from two ISIS infrastructures, ISIS 5000 and/or 7000, up to DNxHD 220

resolutions.

3.0 What’s New for ISIS 7000 v4.0.3 / 2000 v4.2

The ISIS v4.2 software kit includes ISIS 7000 v4.0.3, ISIS 5000 v4.0.3, and ISIS 2000 v4.2. The Avid ISIS v4.2 Client Manager software is required for ISIS 7000 v4.0.3, ISIS 5000 v4.0.3, and ISIS 2000 v4.2 infrastructures. For a list of what’s new in ISIS v4.2, see the ReadMe.

Avid ISIS scales in a linear fashion and is based on the amount of bandwidth an ISIS engine (or several engines) are able to provide.

The following table defines an engine’s capabilities based on the chunk size, protection type and switch type in use. A mix of Avid editors and test tools in Zone 1, 2 and 3 were used to generate bandwidth on the system during testing.

5.0 Engine Bandwidth Performance Ratings (MB/s) with Avid Devices

 To determine the available bandwidth for mirrored Storage Groups when utilizing a mix of readers

and writers be sure to multiply the write rate x2. The results should then be subtracted from the Read engine rating.

 To determine the available bandwidth for RAID6 Storage Groups when utilizing a mix of readers

and writers be sure to multiply the write rate x2.2. The results should then be subtracted from the Read engine rating.

 Exceeding 90% capacity will reduce the available bandwidth by 15%.

6.0 Switch Performance

The performance for Avid ISIS clients and servers is based on the generation of the switch hardware (ISS and IXS) in the engine and the Chunk Size. The following gives you a base number of the MB/s you can expect of each generation.

Avid ISIS Switch Performance (MB/s)

 These ratings can be attained by using 10 Gb, 1 Gb, or a combination of both.

The following are guidelines as to the number of clients that are supported in Zone 1 (directly connected to an ISS in an ISIS 7000 Engine). When a 10 Gb device is connected to your ISS, some of the 1 Gb ports cannot be used:

 High Resolution 1 Gb clients — four or less with one Ultra High Resolution 10 Gb client  Medium Resolution 1 Gb clients — five or less with one Ultra High Resolution 10 Gb client

Example of How to Apply ISS2000 Ratings to a Mirrored Storage Group

 A Cisco 4900M was the Zone 2 and 3 switch used during testing. All bandwidth is based on

reading 2 streams of video and 8 audio tracks.

Example of How to Apply ISS2000 Ratings to a RAID6 Storage Group

 Writes to a RAID6 Storage Group should be multiplied x2.2.  A Cisco 4900M was the Zone 2 and 3 switch used during testing. All bandwidth is based on

reading 2 streams of video and 8 audio tracks.

7.0 RAID6 Performance Guidance During Storage Element Failures

One of the advantages of RAID6 is the ability to continue working during the event of storage element failure. Should this event occur your engine rating is degraded by 30% of its normal operation. See the redistribution section for the amount of bandwidth that can be sustained during the recovery process. The following are examples of how to apply engine ratings during a Storage Element failure.

Example 1: Single engine using a RAID6 Storage Group with capture devices only

Passed: The total throughput required would fall in line with the degraded write engine rating which

would now be 140 MB/s in this state (70% of 200 MB/s).

 This was 100% capture devices.

Example 2: Two engines using a RAID6 Storage Group with only capture devices

Passed: The total throughput required would fall in line with the degraded engine rating of a two

engine Storage Group which would now be 560 MB/s in this state (70% of 800 MB/s).

 Capture to a RAID6 Storage Group is 2.2 when mixing with playback clients.

8.0 Supported Stream Counts

8.1 Supported Stream Counts with Avid Editors

The charts in this section define the bandwidth used per resolution and a recommended stream count. Take the following into consideration when reading the tables below. Avid stresses that the information in the following charts is based on the Avid ISIS v2.x default file system chunk size of 512 KB. When using a 256 KB File system please refer to the ISIS v1.5 Performance guide, search the Avid Knowledge Base at http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp for the Avid ISIS 7000 Performance and Redistribution Guide.

9

All bandwidth ratings have been adjusted to include up to 8 tracks of 16 bit audio @ 48 KHz. For supported application revisions, see the Avid ISIS ReadMe.

The sequences used in Avid testing have two second audio and video cuts offset by one second.

 3D stereoscopic full frame capture of 1:1 10 bit or 1:1 8 bit material requires a 10 Gb

connection and a minimum of two engines, except in the cases where the aggregate write bandwidth is 200 MB/sec or lower.

 Several resolutions in the charts below support 3D stereoscopic. Full frame

playback/capture is equal to two streams for a given resolution. For example, 1:1 10 bit full frame 3D stereo is equivalent to 300 MB/sec. Resolutions that support full frame 3D stereoscopic are shaded in yellow. With the optional dual DNxHD or AVCI codec cards in Nitris DX the DNxHD or AVCI resolutions are available for full frame 3D stereoscopic.

 ProRes resolutions are indicated by italics. With the optional dual DNxHD or AVCI codec

cards in Nitris DX the DNxHD or AVCI resolutions are available for full frame 3D stereoscopic.

 RAID6 Storage Groups only support resolutions of 50 Mbps and below.  For some platforms, achieving the highest stream count may require switching the video

quality mode during playback operations. (e.g. Draft or Full Quality).

 10-bit RGB is limited to single stream in 1080 formats only and requires the use of Media

Composer 5.0, Symphony 5.0 or NewsCutter 9.0 or later.

 10-bit RGB playback and capture is supported on 64-Bit operating systems only.  Clients with 2 X 1 Gb connections that are doing uncompressed HD resolutions (i.e.,

UHRC) must set the ISIS Client type to Ultra High Resolution.

 Stream counts higher than 4 are limited to Media Composer 6.0 or higher for all

resolutions except Multi-cam.

The results in the following charts were achieved using the platforms and editors listed in (see Hardware and Software Used During Testing on page 42). Stream counts vary depending on the platform and editor version. You might be able to achieve higher stream counts on the newer platforms. Additionally, headroom has to be considered as editors will burst above the resolution rate in order to fill the play buffer, especially during JKL and scrubbing operations.
