Software Initialisation File Keywords
This section describes each keyword in the software initialisation configuration
file /usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/init.cfg.
DiskHealthNotify
The DiskHealthNotify keyword defines an e-mail address to which a message
is sent if any framestore disk health problems occur. Only one address can be
listed. The mailer daemon for the workstation must also be properly configured
for notification e-mails to be sent.
The DiskHealthNotify keyword uses the following syntax
DiskHealthNotify <e-mail_address>
where <e-mail_address> is the address to which you want the message sent.
Example of use
DiskHealthNotify [e-mail]
MemoryApplication
The MemoryApplication keyword allocates memory for frame buffers. A
frame buffer is a chunk of memory set aside to store image data in RAM for
the fastest possible display of frames while working in the application.
In most cases, the MemoryApplication keyword should be commented out.
When it is commented out, the default memory configuration is used, and is
based on the physical memory installed on the system. This default
configuration is sufficient for most projects, regardless of the different
resolutions you may be working with.
Uncommenting the MemoryApplication keyword overrides the default
memory configuration. You should only override the default memory
configuration by uncommenting the MemoryApplication keyword under
the following conditions:
■ You are working with 4K 12-bit material.
■ You are working in the application and receive “cannot allocate memory
buffer” messages.
