CPU

In this section you can choose your Intel Cascade-X CPU for your Vegas Pro workstation. Our base CPU is the Core i9 10900X which features an 10 Core-20 Thread processor with a 3.7GHZ clock speed and a boost speed of 4.9GHZ.

Bump up to the Core i9 10940X for a 14 Core-28 Thread processor perfect for multi layered 8K projects in Vegas Pro and After Effects as well as speeding up encoding. This CPU has the best price/performance ratio for Vegas Pro.

For the ultimate performance, choose the 18 Core-36 Thread Core i9 10980XE.

System RAM

For your Vegas computer system, you can make your System RAM selections below:

For this system, we offer a 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and a 128GB option using the latest DDR4 standard. The amount of RAM can impact your workflow. If you mainly work in HD up to 1080P without a lot of filters or effects, then 16GB is a good starting point. The 32GB option is the sweet spot for 1080P sequences and helps with 4K. Vegas Pro will use all of your available RAM unlike some other applications.

Keyboard Type

In this section, you can make your keyboard and mouse choice.

Our standard keyboard is a comfortable slim keyboard from Logitech. You can choose a wireless mouse along with an illuminated wireless keyboard from Logitech.

The LogicKeyboard options give you your application shortcuts imprinted on the key caps. This is the easiest way to lean the shortcuts that will save you time when editing.

If you already have a keyboard you wish to use, just 'uncheck' the default keyboard selection.

System Drive

This DreamStation now comes standard with a nVME SSD for a System drive or your 'C: drive'. The System Drive contains the Windows OS and your program files. Since your DreamStation is a multi-drive system, a smaller system drive is OK since you other drive volumes are used to store media assets and projects. The nVME SSD drives use a special slot on the motherboard and are smaller than a stick of RAM. These drives offer a direct PCI-e connection for up to 3000MBs read and 2500MBs write speeds!

Spare/Render/Cache Drive

The Render-Spare Drive is not required for your Vegas System, but it's a good idea to have.

Having a secondary SSD or hard drive in addition to your Media RAID can be important. This drive can be used as your EXPORT DRIVE for your exports to MPEG-2, Blu-ray, H.264/265, QuickTime, or anything you are exporting.

Using a separate storage for exports will decrease your render times because the system will perform better reading from one drive and writing to another. In addition, it allows you to make backup copies of your important clips and projects. If you selected a 4TB Media RAID then a 4TB Storage drive makes sense.

If you are a serious power user for Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Photoshop then you should consider adding an SSD drive for your Media cache, scratch disks, and After Effects cache. The SSD drive will considerably speed up those applications, when working with complex projects.

Primary Bay Option

For this system, we include a Blu-ray recorder that supports BD-RE at 16x, DVD's at 24X and CD's at 48X. Alternatively, you can choose a standard DVD Recorder that also burns CD's. The Blu-ray burner will handle both 25GB and 50GB disks. Cyberlink DVD Utilities are included with each drive.

Secondary Bay Option

In this section, you can choose your option for the secondary full size bay. You can select a Blu-ray or DVD recorder with the same options as the primary optical drive or you can add a USB 3.0 (4) port hub for maximum flexibility on the front of the case.

Display Adapter/GPU

In this section you can pick your recommended GPU for your Vegas Pro DreamStation. The GPU/Display adapter connects your monitors to the system and plays many other important roles in your workstation. Vegas Pro will take advantage of your Nvidia GPU by accelerating effects, real time H.265 playback, and accelerated H.264 and H.265 export.

RTX GEFORCE

Our current base card is the RTX 3060 with 12GB of RAM. This GPU offers 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR5 RAM making it ideal for HD/4K/8K workflows. This card offers the best 'price performance' ratio.

RTX QUADRO

You can also choose a RTX 4000 or the new RTX A4000/A5000 Quadro card for this system. All of the Quadro cards support 30 bit color (about a billion colors) using the DisplayPort connections. 30 bit color is important for accurate color correction using programs like Vegas Pro's powerful color correction, Adobe After Effects CC, and Black Magic's DaVinci Resolve when using a broadcast monitor. Applications which support OpenGL 'only' require a Quadro card (like AVID Media Composer). Quadro cards also offer ECC memory, which translates into fewer render errors and crashes are less likely. NVIDIA Quadro cards are well known for their stability and support for all professional video applications. For true RAW 8K performance, the RTX A5000 would be the best choice.

Please call us anytime at 1-877-203-0871 x1 if you have any questions about our GPU choices.

Internal Media Volume

In this section, you can choose your Internal Media Volume drive array. Please note that configurations that have 8 drives require the 8 bay case.

The Media Volume (volume) is where you will store your video, audio, stills, and other media for online editing. Although the Media RAID shows up as one drive letter, it is actually made up of two or more spinning hard drives or Solid State Drives.

We offer 2 types of RAID configurations. We use a multi drive RAID configuration for your media storage because one single hard drive is not fast enough to edit the formats used today in most cases. We use a proprietary 'caching' algorithm combined with our RAID configurations to enhance the multi stream performance. The end result is that you don't have to wait for your storage system to catch up to your creativity.

Media RAID-0: for Performance

In a RAID-0, we use 2 (or more) hard drives and combine them together so they appear as one drive letter (volume) in Windows. This is required for SD/HD/4K editing because a single hard drive is not fast enough. If you take the steps to make sure your important video and audio assets are backed up, then the standard (2) drive RAID-0 is perfectly fine. Hard drives are mechanical, and they can fail. Our systems have numerous external ports for easy connection to USB 3.0, optional Thunderbolt drive arrays. There are many options to keep your media online and available.

Media RAID-10: for Performance and Content Protection

In a RAID-10, we essentially mirror a RAID-0. This is all done in the background with no intervention from you. The UPSIDE to this solution is fast speed with data redundancy. If a hard drive fails in the RAID, all of your projects and media are safe. With our RAID-10 configuration, if a drive fails the system continues to operate without a hiccup, and there is no need to rebuild a RAID-10 array to access your projects and media stored on it. Once you replace the failed drive, the array will be protected again. The DOWNSIDE to this solution is that it is more expensive, and doubles the number of hard drives required to implement it.

CHOOSE YOUR ARRAY BELOW in the list. The RAID-10 solutions will protect your data.

NLE Software

Power Protection

Power Protection is very important to keep your system and your video clips and other media healthy.Your most basic protection is the surge protector that we offer. If you live in an area where your power frequently goes out the 'UPS' is a must have accessory.

We offer a couple of UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) units with the specs needed to keep you system safe in the event of a power outage. The UPS also helps to smooth out your incoming power making your system more stable.

Our UPS solutions will safely shut down your DreamStation gracefully in the event of a power failure even if you are not at home (USB Connection to UPS required). The system will enter into a hibernate mode and power off after the current state is saved. When you restart, you can make sure you saved any changes and then reboot the system.

The UPS options we offer have wattage ratings for the case you have chosen. Choose the 900W for the smaller case, and the 1320W for the larger case.

You will be able to connect monitors (LED/LCD) to the UPS since there is enough head room.

Please note that if you intend to use a UPS that you may already own:

The UPS must have a minimum AVR rating of 1500VA/900W or damage to the system may occur. Let us know the model number and we can tell you if it is suitable for your system.
