ACME VIDEO SOLUTIONS RACK 4

A few issues keep it average

If you are doing basic streaming this guy will do well but in the 6ish months we have had it I have encountered a few issues. First and foremost is that it has poor thermal design for the air cooler on the CPU. the fan is almost touching the top of the case and it just doesn't flow enough air. After running ISO recordings for 6 minutes at a time and 5 minutes between takes for about 1.5 hours the CUP was getting up to 90C, I will probably be buying an AIO to fix that issue. Another issue, I'm not sure but I think the SDI cables that run from the back of the computer to the front are RG-59. Whenever I would try to run 1080/50 or higher the video card would constantly drop the incoming video once I just bypassed that and plugged my runs into the din to sdi adapters everything worked fine. I think there should really be a good headphone amplifier built into the front panel, Also the M.2 should probably be more than 256 gb, that fills up fast once you load some high quality files. Also the video capture card is great but documentation for it is light since you have to be a systems partner to buy it so you will have a steep learning curve with a lot of trial and error. I definitely don't regret my purchase but this machine could be so much more with some small adjustments.
