But it's a pdf with tables, can't really copy it into a message. I will attempt to upload it. Nope, can't find how to do that.  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 02-06-2017 05:22 PM                        Try converting it to a graphic and uploading those into a message. (Look at ImageMagick if you don't know how to do that.)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-06-2017 06:18 PM                     Link [ 02-07-2017, 06:14 PM: Message edited by: Brad Miller ]  |  IP: Logged Tommy Zackariasson Film Handler Posts: 31 From: Ed, Dalsland, Sweden Registered: Aug 2011 posted 02-19-2017 01:36 PM                     Just want to share that we recently installed WD40EFRX in our DSS200, leaving us with 12Tb on it. Works fine.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-19-2017 01:49 PM                     Please note, officially 4TB drives are not approved for the older RAID cards on the DSS200s until System 4.9.1 comes out (someday) when there will be a RAID upgrade. That said, I too have a site running on 4TB drives completely without incident, for some time now. I used HGST: HUS724040ALA640.  |  IP: Logged Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 02-19-2017 08:22 PM                        THANKS BRAD  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 02-20-2017 03:29 AM                     With the DSS series discontinued I am surprised Dolby are still developing the software - still, they haven't made the Doremi line compatible with the DSS series though as the small files are still getting deleted on the DSS when ingesting. In my opinion that would be a slightly higher priority than upgrading the RAID controller!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-20-2017 05:37 AM                     As I gatherit, Dolby is only issuing the software that was already in the works at the time of the announcement. Furthermore, they seem to be providing support for unsupported equipment too. The DSS100 line is to get a software upgrade to address encrypted subtitles. The DSS line was the best and it really sucks that it is no more. Whereas all of the bits and pieces to a CPL ARE in the "generated packages" folder, there shouldn't be a transfer problem, if that directory is referenced, from ANY brand server, including the Doremi stuff, when it comes to FTP transfers.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 02-20-2017 08:34 AM                     I thought those were deleted at ingest time. If you check the details on the transfer status page it clearly says something like "this is not digital cinema, deleting". I heard that there was a plan to let those files alone to assure compatibility between brands but that was supposed to happen several versions ago!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

What I think was supposed to happen (and maybe it does now, I haven't checked) is that when you off load content to a CRU drive, that it is supposed to offload the full CPL.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 02-20-2017 11:29 AM                     That was my understanding too but last time I checked it still wouldn't happen  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-17-2017 08:00 AM                     http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/DOLBY-DRIVE-DEC2016.pdf Why would the hard disc recommendation be so different between DSS200 und DSS200i/-6? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
