Testing the System
Testing the System
Testing the Avid system involves running tests on the Avid board set,
running StorEx on drives attached to the system, and if possible,
starting the Avid software and performing some basic operations to
see if the drives function properly.
Running Avid System Test Pro
The Avid setup guide that ships with the system contains a section
that explains how to run Avid System Test Pro (AST) to test the Avid
board set. You should restart the system prior to running AST. Help is
also available for AST.
Running Avid StorEx
The Avid setup guide that ships with the system contains a section
that explains how to run Avid StorEx. If your disk drives need to be
formatted and partitioned, see the setup guide that ships with your
Avid system.
Testing the Avid Software
Depending upon how familiar you are with the Avid software, you
should restart the system and attempt to do the following:
• Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then select Avid.
• Digitize a portion of media.
• Construct a simple sequence.
• Create a title.
• Create and test a 3D effect if you have a 3D effects board set.
