why doesnt that give you any indication of performance?Originally Posted by RedLightning
because this only reads and writes a single large file.
disc performance changes drastically depending on how many files are being read at the same time. not just on how many MB/s it can read.
It gives you no indication of how well it works with catalyst.
Catalyst reads more than one file at the time - it reads one file for each movie playing.
the way to benchmark catalyst is with catalyst - nothing else.
Catalyst is also free when used like this.
Headline decklink blackmagic data transfer rates are no use to you - unless you are capturing a single movie file and writing it to disk.
