Configure MultimediaDatabase
The MultimediaDatabase tab enables you to integrate and modify
MultimediaDatabase zones. These zones represent paths and locations in which
the MultimediaDatabase stores image data. These paths can represent both local
drives and network drives. The specified zone size is not immediately reserved, but
assigned automatically as needed.
6.4.1
Adding zones to the MultimediaDatabase
Zones are used to determine the maximum storage depth of the
MultimediaDatabase and consequently, of the software. By default, the SeeTec 5
software does not limit the MultimediaDatabase zone. During a new installation, the
default zone is created in the following directory:
<SeeTec installation directory>\re\md\mds\data\
We recommend replacing this zone with a zone on a dedicated partition. If the
volume of the existing zone is not sufficient, you can add another zone.
Adding zones to the MultimediaDatabase
1. Create a folder on a dedicated partition in which to store image data.
The cluster size should be 64 KB.
2. Click on Add zone.
3. Select a folder in which to store image data.
4. In the Maximum size [GB] field, enter the size in GB for the
MultimediaDatabase zone.
5. To use all physically available space on the partition, enable the Unlimited
option and confirm with OK.
We recommend not using up the physical storage space of a partition by more than
90 % as this may decrease the performance of the operating system.
A maximum of 10 zones should be created. More zones impair MultimediaDatabase
performance. Also, we recommend creating a few big zones rather than numerous
small zones.

Important
The MaxDB cache size is a system-critical parameter that should be
changed with caution and only if it is absolutely necessary.
The optimum throughput result is obtained if the entire database is
kept in the cache.
