There are two 'take-away's in my mind:
- 1. Always first try the lowest quality/data-rate. If that's not sufficient try the next highest quality/data-rate.
2. Provide _plenty_ of air-flow & circulation for your Render Booster to keep it cool.
Because the Render Booster is itself a very specialized minicomputer, it renders everything ways better than coming directly from any Casablanca despite settings LOW or MEDIUM.
Although astonishing we were advised not to set it to High let alone to Maximum, because this causes massive extra-work for the Render Booster, possibly resulting in overheating, which will cause the Render Booster to shut down! I know, it sounds kind of weird, but the processor of the Render Booster is a very specialized piece of hardware with a totally new design compared to the processors used in the Casablanca machines. In addition, good air circulation around the Render Booster is needed !
If the Render Booster quits working, don't blame it, but check your chosen settings first, before sending it back to Boulder ! By the way, 3 out of 4 Render Booster sent back to MS Germany are reported to function properly. Hope this is of help !
Merry Christmas to all of you from overseas,
