(1) The same database can be used at the same time by OPUS an d USAnimation® v5.x clients.
(2) The server is considered to be running the database only. Other OPUS modules are not supported on Windows NT or IRIX.
(3) Simultaneous network connections are limited to 10 by Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows 2000 Professionnal and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. If you have more than 10 Windows clients, your server must be equiped with Windows 2000 Server or Windows NT 4.0 Server. Linux and IRIX do not limit the maximum number of simultaneous connections. |

| Supported video cards and recommended drivers for Stage | Model | Linux | Win 2000 | Win XP | Notes | nVidia with a minmum of 32MB | Latest | Latest | Latest | We do not have the full range of nVidia cards in house and haven't tested all available models. They are expected to perform well in OPUS since the experience with nVidia cards has been very positive since we started supporting them.
There are only a few known few problems with nVidia cards:
GeForce FX 5200: Cutters and gradients are not displayed properly in Scene Planning by default. To workaround this problem, enable the Alternate Gradient and Cutter options found in Preferences -> OpenGL. Quadro4 980 XGL: Picking problems in the drawing view. Occurs only with fullscreen anti-aliasing enabled. The same problem did not occur with a Quadro4 750 XGL. GeForce FX 5600: We have unconfirmed reports that this card does not perform properly under Linux with the 1.0.6629 driver. Installing the 1.0-6111 driver apparently fixes the issue. |
| Supported scanners for the Scan module | Model | Type (1) | ADF (2) | Notes | Fujitsu M4097Ddim | Black&White | Yes | - Exact scanner specs : SCSI-2 interface, compression enabling up to 600dpi (m), double feed detection (d), image enhancement (IPC, i).
- Reconfiguring some scanner options through integrated LCD can interfere with Scan. | Fujitsu M3096GX | Black&White | Yes |
| Fujitsu fi-4750C | Color | Yes |
| Ricoh IS330DC | Color | Yes |
| Ricoh IS420 | Black&White | Yes |
| Ricoh IS430 | Black&White | Yes | - European model of the Ricoh IS 420. | Ricoh IS450DE | Black&White | Yes |
| Epson 1640XL | Color | Unsupported (3) | - The Epson1640 XL ADF is not suited for OPUS.
- On Windows 2000, installing TWAIN drivers for this scanner will conflict with OPUS. Disable the scanner device in the control panel prior to scanning in OPUS. | Epson 836XL | Color | Unsupported (3) | - The Epson836 XL ADF is not suited for OPUS. | Umax Mirage II | Color | No | - Also known as Linotype Opal Ultra. | Microtek 9600XL | Color | No |
| Sharp JX-610 | Color | No | - Discontinued. | (1) Black&White scanners listed here can scan 1 bit (black and white) or 8 bit grayscale drawings. Color scanners can scan 1 bit, 8 bit grayscale or 24 bit color drawings.
(2) This column indicates whether the scanner unit is equipped with an Automatic Document Feeder or not. Scanners equipped with an ADF may also scan on the flatbed. Scanners not equipped with an ADF may scan on the flatbed only. Scanning through an ADF is generally faster than scanning on the flatbed. ADF generally supports the same scanning modes than the flatbed: b&w, grayscale and color (when available).
(3) ADF for the Epson 836XL and Epson 1640XL is sold separately from the scanner itself. For technical reasons, Toon Boom does not support the Epson ADF. |
| Supported SCSI adapters for the Scan module (1) | Model | Notes | Adaptec AVA-2906 |
| Adaptec AHA-2930CU |
| Adaptec AHA-2940AU | - On Windows 2000, the Fujitsu M4097D sometimes have problems scanning with this card after a reboot. Reinitializing the scanner should correct the problem until the next reboot. | (1) We recommend to dedicate a SCSI card to scanners. For example, avoid using the same SCSI card to control scanners and SCSI hard drives. |
