Avid|DS RP reports that it cannot find some files.
The needed files are linked to the project in a local folder on the Avid|DS
workstation and are not accessible from the Avid|DS RP station.
• Make sure the linked files can be shared identically from both the Avid|DS
workstation and RP system (example: \\computername\Files\files_to_use),
or copy the linked files into your project folder.
• The expected files are irrelevant to the project you’re working on. If this
occurs, look seriously for a potential virus infection of the system because
Avid|DS RP uses VB scripting and can be affected by virus infections.
Processing is very slow on the Avid|DS RP station.
• If you are processing 3D DVE effects and the Avid|DS RP is not equipped
with a supported OpenGL card, the processing is done in software mode
and is much slower. Also note that the result may differ from the
processing done on the Avid|DS workstation.
• The network connection should be at least 100 Mbps.
• The use of a network hub with multiple computers and traffic will affect
media access and slow down processing. It is recommended to use a
network switch to program and isolate the Avid|DS systems from the
network group.
• The Avid|DS workstation is being used extensively for capture and playback.
With or without the Avid|Throttle Manager installed, the media access to
the Avid|DS RP station is greatly impacted. Do not use remote processing if
you must do intensive media playback tasks with the Avid|DS workstation.
• The Avid|DS RP station is being heavily accessed at the same time by
other applications.
