Dolby Atmos Production Suite renderer on another computer
Hi All,
I was wondering is it possible to use renderer on another machine than the one running DAProduction suite? I run Production suite on my MacPro, but also have another windows machine with HDX, MADI and it would be handy to offload local renderer from Mac to the other comp. Perhaps with Mastering Suite on the second computer? |

Re: Dolby Atmos Production Suite renderer on another computer
I tried the same thing last year. You would have to have a second copy of pro tools loaded on the second machine to feed audio into the production suite. Output 128 tracks form the first pro tools computer and input 128 channels to the second one and send via plugins to production suite. It's not worth the hassle.
What you are asking for is the Mastering Suite. That runs on a separate system. It's also better because the Production Suite has plugin latency, and the Mastering Suite latency is basically nothing.

You might be better off running the Production Suite HDX plug-ins and if you run low on processing, add another HDX card. My system ran great with HDX3 and Production Suite. I only switched to the Mastering Suite to be able to create full masters. You could predub all your projects and find a Dolby Atmos Certified studio like mine to make the master.

Re: Dolby Atmos Production Suite renderer on another computer
Great info here Lucien, thanx again.
I was planning to add the second HDX card to my Mac, but then I would have to pull the USB3 card out. How did you managed to get all 3 HDX cards inside your Mac? You also have video playback card there, or not? I was also wondering if it's possible to get the USB3 of the SATA on board connectors? I would definitely consider your studio and expertise in (hopefully) near future when the Atmos mixing has been installed and workable here, I'll contact you thru your web site. |

Re: Dolby Atmos Production Suite renderer on another computer
I'm running two expansion chassis by Netstor. One has a larger power supply for graphics cards and works great with three HDX cards.
The other Netstor is a slightly different model with a built-in 4 slot SSD RAID. It has my HighPoint raid card (running two pairs of SSDs), a USB 3 card, and SSD PCI card for my system drive. Inside the Mac are my GTX1080 and AJA Kona LHi.
