It is important to note that to maximize your save time, in addition to installing the 10Gb link on the PC end, the entire system specifications must be considered. For example, if you are using the 10Gb connection on a very powerful PC to save Cine files to a USB drive, you will see no increase of speed because of the limitations of that USB connection. Included in the purchase of the 10Gb Ethernet CineStation or upgrade is a Myricom PCI Express card, 10Gb XFPSR transceiver, and 10 meters of multimode fiber optic cable. These items have been tested and qualified for use at Vision Research, using dedicated computers and RAID systems. Pre-Installation Vrification: 2.
