Is anyone using Louth ADC100 version 11?

I recently upgraded from version 10 to 11 and was told that this is the greatest version ever only to experience really simple issues that was never in version 10.

Some such as:
-really slow entering and exiting review
-entire air client locks for about 5 minutes whenever I do a verify list against db
-some assets not properly verifying against db
-device server on the CHP chassis running XP will loose all devices in a air client or media client even though through the Config Utility I can see all devices.

Thanks for the info I'm sure this issue will come up with some users. The Avid’s I've worked with haven’t reached that amount of files yet.

If you are still using OMFs and wav/aif instead of MXF, then this may be of some useful info to you. I recently had a multi-suite project which involved copying lots of media between suites. To make life easier, so I thought, would be to have one large partition per USB media drive. NOT SO. Windows XP has a file limit on directories which will cause your PC to slow down. To be precise, if you have more than 10,000 files in a OMFI MediaFiles folder, the Avid will slow down and have problems building the databases. At one point I had 55.439 files in one directory and the Avid kept failing to build the database. The final result being missing media with the dreaded "MEDIA OFFLINE" window there for all to see. I eventually settled on 4 100GB folders which worked out fine for the project.

Well, in the 90's, 99% of the Avids I installed had a faulty ABVB card in it. It got to the point I would order a replacement card a couple of days before an install to save a trip back out with a "repaired" one. Their main problem at that time in the U.K. was that the field engineers were not communicating the fault symptom back to Avid in Ireland. The engineers at Avid could not see a problem with it and shipped it back out ASAP. They eventually rectified this with tags and bags which helped a lot. I had one engineer who installed an Avid in Leeds, have to return it, the WHOLE kit, back to Avid with a fault which stopped it real-time rendereing. Anyhow, two days later he is in Edinburgh installing another Avid. Guess what got shipped to him!? The exact same Avid which never even got unboxed for testing. And to add the final woe of Avid, the very first Avid I installed after I became an ACSR was the Avid from HELL. EVERY bit of the kit was faulty. PC, ATTO card, graphics card, JPEG card, external frame PSU, missing cable and software. Talk about a budget job. Took me a month to get it going and eventually I had to ship the whole lot back. Good learning curve but one very unhappy customer.

I have to say the latest generation of hardware from Avid, the DNA break out boxes are a lot more reliable, with the exception if it is being used in an HD Symph Nitris. Poor ventilation will FRY the PSU with smoke and a bang and a delay as the replacement items are shipped from Holland. Party on.

I have two minted EV timecode loggers for production. I will stick them on eBay unless some here wants to make me an offer. For those who do not know what they are, it is a hand held device recieves T/C from the camera via wire or wirelessly and this is then logged manually as good shot, bad shot, close wide etc on the device. The data is then d/l to a laptop using Phoenox Log Manager (ver3.0) and can be converted to an Avid .ALE file or an EDL for batch digitising. Not made anymore, hens teeth etc, I have the RF wireless kit and cables for one while the other has little cabling but I can make the data transfer cable up for you.

Tek.

I don’t know how you would do a HW reset but you should call Minerva and see if they can help since this product end of life for support is December 2007. You still have some time left. Sorry I looked for a manual but could not find any. See this release from Minerva:

Really sorry for the delay in responding. I had hoped that at this point the site would have generated some more users who could have assisted. Oh well..

For your problem look at the following procedure:

Note the last adjustment. This I believe will fix the problem. The tape that you will need, unfortunately, is the C5-1B tape.
