RFE Peripherals
Media 100 Inc. delivers a turnkey Remote Field Editing (RFE) system based on the Apple
PowerBook G3. We have tested and approved the following additional peripherals with the RFE:
■ The RFE has a single channel Ultra 2 controller with two internal drives. We have successfully
tested an external iStor array connected to the external port of the SCSI controller. We do not
recommend connecting any more than one additional device.
■ For a two-monitor configuration, you may connect a monitor to the monitor port of the G3
PowerBook. It is important to keep the Edit Suite in the primary monitor on the PowerBook.
■ The RFE Chassis can also be connected to a desktop PowerPC system. To do this, you will
need to order the PCI host controller card from Magma. Part #PCIHIF68.

Storage Solutions
Below are approved configurations by drive vendors that specialize in providing quality storage
solutions for digital video.
Medéa disk arrays are designed to be a low cost solution for video applications. Media 100 has
approved a couple of models and is continuing to test new Medéa drives. Our testing has shown
that these drives are acceptable for Media 100 models le through xr. It is important to note that for
demanding video programs and intense audio, Media 100 recommends a higher-performing array
consisting of 4 10,000 rpm Ultra2 SCSI drives.
NOTE As long as your computer can handle the increased throughput from the storage solutions, the solutions listed
in each table will work for lower models. For example, if you have a Media 100 xe, you can use the solutions
listed in the Media 100 xs and Media 100 xr tables.
