Sixty frames per second 4K media is probably the most common format of the ones tested with DaVinci Resolve. Particularly in the live sports world, the higher frame rate makes fast moving action clear. This material had frame sizes of approximately 50 MB each. To sustain 60 frames per second playback, each client would be pulling 3000 MB/s.
The 3-node F600 cluster could sustain 3x 60 frames per second image sequences, 1x per client. As with the other two tests above, playback using TCP was not possible. The extra bandwidth and reduced CPU load of RDMA enabled this workflow.
