Mix 3 and 4 Outputs?

Just wondering what the function/purpose for Mix 3 and 4? In other words how do you get to their output. Artnet?

If you put a second video card in your GG and/or a ICB in your rack could you have 4 seperate outputs? Thanks.

    way too slow.

    its called rotational latencty and disc seek time.

    it takes a certain amount of time to read each frame from a disc.
    between 5-10ms just for the disc to locate and get the data.

    as there is only 33ms available at 30fps - a scsi disc is way too slow.

    hard discs are very slow.

    scsi discs are faster than ata or sata - it can take up to 2x the time to read the same frame from an ata drive - its not data throughput thats important - its the rotational and seek time latencies.
