These settings are dependent on the system type. See the Install
and Configuration Guide for configuration settings for various
supported systems.
Image Memory
This setting defines a "pool" of memory the application will allocate for storing
and rendering image sequences.
Leave this at the default setting unless instructed to change it by a
Digital Vision engineer.
Cache Rendering Setup
These parameters setup some options on how cache renders are generated.
Cache preallocation frames
Values :
text entry
Default :
20
This defines how many frames are preallocated for caches before the caches
themselves are written to disk. This will help prevent caches getting
fragmented.
To disable cache preallocation, set to 0 (zero).
Cache fragmentation test
Default :
on
This test is for Windows NTFS only. Do not enable on SAN
filesystems (e.g. Stornext SNFS).
If turned off, caches will not be tested for fragmentation and no fragmentation
status will be displayed on the timeline.
