business warranty program, and it`s clear that Avid storage solutions are the optimum choice for Avid editors around the world.

Interface

Ultra 2 LVD/Ultra 160 LVD/Ultra320 LVD 68-pin connection

Maximum 320 MB/sec. transfer rate on PCI-based CPUs with Ultra320 LVD bus

Maximum 160MB/sec. transfer rate on PCI-based CPUs with Ultra 160 LVD host adapter

Maximum 80MB/sec. transfer rate on PCI-based CPUs with Ultra 2 LVD host adapter

Configuration

MediaDrive rS LVD enclosure, 3.5" self-contained (power, cooling and connections) stackable unit

Up to 15 units chained together per SCSI channel

Rackmountable with MediaDrive rS rackmount option kit

Supported Resolutions

All current Avid Video Resolutions (AVRs and JFIF) and DV

Striping requirements vary by configuration and are determined by the Avid software version, CPU, controller card, and drive type. See the Drive Striping Tables in the Documentation section of the Avid Knowledge Center for details.

Compatibility

The MediaDrive rS 320/LVD series has been qualified for use in mixed configuration with LVD and fast, wide Avid Storage devices. In mixed configurations, the non-LVD drives should be placed on a separate SCSI channel; otherwise the LVD bus will run at the rate of the slowest drive interface.

Some configurations may require special cables or adapters, which are readily available from Avid.

The rS 320/LVD drive is supported on PCI-based CPUs only.

Compatible with Digidesign Pro Tools software. Contact Digidesign for configuration details.
