All of the peripherals in the same category are not equal. It is the responsibility of the reseller
and consumer to research the peripherals for additional features, quality, price, support, and
warranty information.
■
With the introduction of real-time effects, static titles, audio cross fades, and real-time audio
EQ, Media 100 is increasing its demand on CPUs and disk drive performance.
In previous versions of Media 100, certain configurations of peripherals would either be
capable of 300 KB NTSC/360 KB PAL with eight audio tracks or not. Now with the variety of
real-time effects, performance can vary depending on the length and type of transition used.
■
Just because a product does not appear in a certain category does not mean that it will not
perform with a specific Media 100 model at a different rate.
Example: 2 x 9 GB Ultra drives with an Ultra MC card was capable of 300 KB NTSC/360 KB
PAL with eight tracks of audio prior to the introduction of real-time effects, titles, and cross
fades. Today, this same array is capable of 200 KB NTSC/240 KB PAL with six tracks of audio
and cross fades and real-time titles and dissolves. If you utilize all real-time features with this
configuration, you will achieve 200 KB (240 KB PAL) with six tracks of audio. However, if
you limit the use of or shorten the titles and effects, the same array might perform at 250 KB to
300 KB with six to eight tracks of audio. If you eliminate the use of real-time, this array will
perform at 300 KB (360 KB PAL) with eight tracks of audio.

The first Media 100 Remote Field Editor (RFE) PowerBook is only capable of expanding to
192 MB of RAM.
