The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the system and the heat it generates
under the maximum processing load produced by a Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application.
For more detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer.

Control Surface

(Lustre only)

You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with the capacity
to maintain the temperature of these components under the maximum processing load. The following table
shows standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how they can be used to determine climate
control requirements.

Example

Unit Conversion

456 Watts = 1556.33 BTU

1 Watt = 3.413 BTU

1556.33 BTU = 0.13 Tons of air conditioning

12000 BTU = 1 Ton of air conditioning

Rack Mount Requirements

If you plan to rack-mount your system, allow sufficient space for each component, as indicated in the
following table.

Avoiding Damage from Static Electricity

Take precautions to prevent damage to sensitive components from static discharge:

Make sure power is turned off on the component you are working on. It is a good idea to unplug
components until all other connections are configured.
