AJA Video Systems has announced the availability of its system test cross-platform app, AJA System Test Lite, on the Apple Store.
AJA System Test Lite allows users to test their storage system with a speed test.
Designed for digital video and post production environments, the tool emulates the writing and reading of video files to and from a hard disk, SSD, RAID, or NAS. It then displays the results in either data rate or frame rate, including graphs that show performance over time.
Users can specify resolutions, colour spaces, bit depths, compression types and file container types to emulate a specific digital video production/post workflow, and do preliminary evaluation to see if their storage systems will support their workflows before practical testing begins.
The speed test software is available for free to Mac OS X Users.
