TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook
4.10 Compaq Evo Workstation W8000
Certification Testing - tested with CODI 2.0B4 release and TARGA 3000 v1.5/Premiere 6
CODI testing - ran all CODI examples
Pinky testing - ran a 1 Hour 33 minute project to ~167,000 frames
Project1 consists of three YUV uncompressed streams (one full screen w/ two overlayed PIPs) with five
graphic layers (Title Deko generated titles)
DV25 testing (capture and playback)
MPEG I-Frame (capture and playback)
Boards used for testing included the following:

bus frequency - 400MHz. Planar Speed
form factor – Mini-tower (vertical orientation)
power supply -500W
display adapter – Nvidia Quadro Pro 64MB AGP Adapter
system drive subsystem - Seagate 18GB ST318451LW ultra160 SCSI-3 hard drive on integrated Adapted
ultra160 controller (AIC-7899)
video drive subsystem – Adaptec 39160 dual-channel ultra160/M LVD SCSI adapter with eight Quantum
Atlas 10k ultra160/m SCSI drives
PCI/AGP slot count and type – Seven total slots (six available, two 64-bit/66-MHz PCI, four 32-bit/33-MHz
PCI, one AGP Pro 4X)
slot placement of plug-in PCI peripherals - Adaptec 39160 in PCI slot 5(64-bit), TARGA3100 in PCI slot
6(64-bit)
I/O interface – 1 Parallel port, 4 USB ports( 2 in front and 2 in back) 2 Serial ports, one 68-pin external
ultra160 SCSI connector, Keyboard (PS/2), 1 Pointing Device (PS/2 mouse), 1 VGA, 1 Microphone Jack, 1
analog/SPDIF digital Headphone Jack (in front) 1 Line-In (in front), 1 Analog/SPDIF digital Line-Out (in
back), RJ-45 Network Connector (in back)
network interface - Integrated Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter (10/100 Mb/s Ethernet Controller
additional integrated peripherals - AIC-7899 dual channel ultra160 SCSI3 controller, dual channel
ultraATA 100 controller, SoundBlaster 128 PCI audio adapter
BIOS settings – As shipped
installation notes – The internal AIC-7899 dual channel ultra160 SCSI3 controller was not used for video-
data storage in this testing due to it being attached to the 32-bit PCI bus. With the TARGA3000 in a 64-bit
PCI slot, the available video-data bandwidth would be severely limited by this data having to go through a
PCI bridge before reaching the ultra160 SCSI3 controller on the 32-bit PCI bus.
In order to pass the 90-minute Adobe Premiere playback portion of the certification process without any
dropped frames, the following services should be disabled in the "Services" control panel:
1. Altiris Client Service
2. Compaq DMI Web Alerter
3. Compaq Local Alerter
4. Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent
5. Insight Manager LC Remote Management
With these services enabled, Our 90-minute playback test was consistently dropping 4 - 7 frames.
