Q:
AVoption and AVoption XL and System Performance.
A:
AVoption and AVoption XL place a high demand on the PCI bus on your Macintosh. However, in most configurations, PRo Tools and AVoption or AVoption XL can record and play with one Movie track and up to 32 audio tracks. For sessions with higher track counts, you should take advantage of the following tips designed to reduce PCI bus overhead:* If using ATI Graphics Accelerator card, disable any of its system extensions.*Disable display of Desktop pictures.*Arrange Pro Tools windows so that no portion of the Desktop is visible.*On AVoption systems, if using VGA monitor connected to the ABVB VGA output, restrict its use for displaying the Movie window only.*For Power Macintosh G4 Computers with AGP video capabilities, consider adding a Digidesign-qualified AGP graphics card. This card effectively removes all display data from the PCI bus, allowing for much better PCI bandwidth performance and track count. For details, visit the Digidesign Web site at www.digidesign.com
