15 Implementations for AV
Applications
This chapter introduces new firmware functions that optimize array performance for
AV applications.
NOTE
Due to the wide variety of I/O demands by different AV applications, detailed
parameters such as read-ahead or cache threshold parameters can be otherwise
implemented only by communicating with our technical support. This chapter only
presents two generic configuration options. More options will be available for specific
applications as customized features.
All exemplary screens are captured from a hyper terminal management console.
15.1 AV Optimization Mode
The AV optimization option is applied for the emerging Audio/Video streaming
applications such as the single-stream NLE (Non-Linear Editing), and the
multi-stream VOD/MOD environments.
The AV Optimization Mode setting provides two configurable options: Fewer Streams
and Multi-Streaming.
15.1.1 Fewer Streams: Read-ahead Performance
