XNet Transfers
The maximum number of real-time channels between EVS servers through the SDTI ports
of the XT3 server are summarized in the following table.
The following tables take into account a field rate of 50.00 Hz, and the resolution 1080i,
without SLSM REC, and the following reference bandwidths:
• an SDTI network of 1.5Gbps, with a maximum bandwidth of 110 MB/s
• an SDTI network of 3Gbps, with a maximum bandwidth of 200 MB/s.
Note
The transfer speed in real-time for a single A/V stream is 10% lower compared
to the number of real-time transfers.
For example, a single transfer will be processed 15.2x faster than real-time for
XDCAM HD, and around 8.7x faster than real-time for Apple ProRes 422 LT.
