Software Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual
note
The application will set the thread settings automatically when first installed (and no
preference file exists). The optimal values for the thread settings are dependent on
many factors and these settings are a guide only. For best performance on any
particular workflow, you should undertake your own benchmarks.
MXF Section
name Description
avidDirectory
This is the default folder list searched for MXF media
linked to AAF files.
Default :
S:\Avid MediaFiles\
The MXF media file structure needs to be placed under one of the folders specified by
the avidDirectory setting.
You can specify multiple search folders e.g.
avidDirectory "S:\Avid MediaFiles\" "H:\Avid MediaFiles\"
note
The application allows the specification of up to three folders to search through the
GUI. More can be defined via the preference file (but the GUI will show the first three
only). See the Avid Integration chapter in the User Guide.
Image Memory
The Image Memory is a pool of system memory reserved by the application and used
for storing images (both processed and unprocessed).
This includes sources, renders and intermediate results. This will be memory
unavailable to other applications or third-party libraries in use on the system.
