Pyramix Latency Modes For Masscore - Merging Pyramix User Manual

DMA
If a DMA Bus (Direct Memory Access) load (peak) occurs, the Text will blink with red DMA text. For the user this
means that something inappropriate occurred during, for example, the Recording and that the recorded file could
contain abnormalities. We recommend that users verify their System configuration/calibration if such indications
occur regularly.
Monitor Jack and DMA
In a legacy MassCore Mykerinos multi-board system, changing the monitoring jack source to a different board can
reduce DMA load. (In the VS3 Control Panel.)
Note: These bars should be ignored when loading a project, making changes in the graphical
layout of Pyramix when stopped (opening pages, moving the mixer, etc.), or doing offline pro-
cesses (renders, non real-time mix-downs, etc.). If the indicators become red during these phases
of your work, simply click on the indicator bar to reset it.
Very Important!
For the present we recommend that you do not use more than 65-70% of the Core resources to avoid glitches or
problems related to intensive graphic refresh bursts. Three colour zones have been set for the Core load indicator.
0% to 65% Green zone (best performance)
65% to 75% Orange zone (moderate risk)
75% to 100% Red zone (performance could be at risk if major screen redraws are initiated by the user)
For ultimate performance Vista should be run on a QuadCore processor.

Note 1: Latency Modes introduce relative performance penalties. Low: 11%, Extra:22%, Ultra:44%
Latency measurements are LIVE IN to LIVE OUT
Note: Please be aware that our competitors only take into account latency from Live In to
Record; in our case this would means 0.665ms in Ultra-Low, 1.33 in Extra-Low and 2.66 in Low
Latency, but, since from Live In to Live Out is the 'real-world' figure, we calculate it as 1.33ms,
2.66ms, 5.33ms respectively.
