DVD RAM Support

The MMR/MMP will support SCSI backup and export to DVD RAM disks. These drives are several

times slower than Magneto-Optical disks for recording and transfers. Playback of a limited number of

tracks is possible from a DVD RAM disk, but maximum performance seen to date is 6 channels of 16-bit

material in TapeMode.

LIMDOW Optical Drives

For backing up files, and for ease of moving smaller projects around, we recommend using a

“LIM/DOW” (Light Intensity Modulation / Direct Over Write) type optical disk. The LIM/DOW

technology achieves better performance than is available on older types of Magneto-Optical media, which

must execute an erase pass before they can write new data to the disk. The Nikon Beluga AV MO

(Magneto-Optical) disk drive has been tested and rated to perform well when used with the MMR-8. A

chart of currently tested and certified disk drive media is given in Appendix B, MMR Approved Drives

List. The results from performance tests of the NIKON Beluga AV MO drive with 1K per sector media

are also given there. It is possible to use other removable media such as the IOMEGA Jaz drive and the

SyQuest Syjet, but these do not provide the same level of performance for recording as a hard drive and

they are more fragile than optical drive media. Use these devices at your own risk, as they are not

supported as primary record or playback devices. DAT, Exabyte and other streaming tape device cannot

currently be used with the MMR-8 system.
