4 will be fine, 8 isnt essential - if avenue 4 is anything like avenue 3, then the amount of system ram isnt realy relevant. ive used both 3 and 4 extensively on machines with 4gb with no problem.

could be DCPI kicking in as you are using the mini dp version ( have heard of others with this and similar probs ) can you turn the signal into analogue after the thtg and before the capture card?

make sure both drives have the same addy and location.

this would be a very usefull addition!

thanks

"trigger first clip when composition has loaded" looks like a handy feature!

paid for version of avenue 4 - registration worked fine with the betas, but the new version shows as unregistered.... should i just click register or do i have to do something clever?

thanks.

i would respectfully suggest that if playback of a 1/2 million dollar film is one of your priorities, then you might want to spend more than 600 euros on the delivery / playback method. much like any software solution, avenue has its requirements, that if you stay within, you will have a lovely stab...

yeah id probably put the extenders after the thtg -3840 x 720 is going to be above the resolution of most vga extenders.

we use the Kramer units - not the cheapest, but never had a problem with them.

its well worth looking at the manual for info on sugested codecs. most of the formats you list are fairly unsuitable for live performance.
