Achion is a Fiber channel-based system. That reeks of too expensive. Oh well.
| macedits Facilis is the choice for me if it was in the budget - but I have to come in at a price point, so I consider other philosophies. |
|
| macedits Avid is having a big announcement on the DX hardware. Is it native XDCAM HD at 35MBp? Should I have this on my mind on a Saturday night? Hmm |
|
| macedits Then I find 2DegreeFrost. Over GigEthernet but not iSCSI or TCIP - 200MBps TO THE CLIENT. Wow - but does it play nice with Avid? FCS? Adobe? |
|
| macedits Ok, digitize to local drive, then controlled upload to vStor SAN no wasted bandwidth. That make sense. Basically fast SAN that accepts video |
|
| macedits Got web demo from IEEI on their Aapce vStor. Seems they thought of everything -Avid, FCS, Adobe, FTP on SAN, throttled load to SAN. What??!? |
|
| macedits Morning and I have plan -big plans - for a great day. Sunday often informs me that the rest of the week is worth it. Go figure... |
|
| macedits Trolling web for a way to get compressor Mac, FCP Mac, and After Effects/Maya PC accessing the same drives. For around 10K. I must be crazy. |
|
| macedits Wow, I need to take a vacation from SAN designs - maybe after I install one I finally like.... |
|
| macedits Amazed that companies give away iSCSI initiators. Also what's the speed difference between SANs with metadata controllers and those without? |
|
| macedits Still, I am looking forward to SAN discussions this week. Workflows of the wild EX1 - often seen in harness with Avid. FCP tips anyone? |
|
| macedits Back to work after babysitting a late-night render. I love having fulltime work but does it have to all-the-time also...? |
|
| macedits Another Mac joining the fold - iMac for FCP. Is this the start of the flood? Actually, it's at home for when overtime means weekend.... |
|
| macedits looking at world's slowest progress bar and wondering if it's worth the wait. I could knit this approval file faster than it's rendering! |
|
| macedits My MC upgrade came 2-day Fedex, just as I ordered. NO TWO WEEKS WAIT for delivery! I guess that's called underpromise, over deliver.... |
|
| macedits 2008 means building out our post to include SAN and FCS (does Motion ALWAYS have to look that way?). As a safety valve, keeping my Avid bay. |
|
| macedits Regal Cinemas are dead to me. Enough with the price hikes on everything already! |
|
| macedits And if approval files would render faster then I could go home. Anybody know fastest settings? Currently I'm using WMF or h.264 but open... |
|
| macedits And D500P (SATA RAID) over an expresscard is da bomb! (yes, I said it...) With that kind of throughput, it's faster than my desktop for now. |
|
| macedits Have temporarily moved from our Adrenaline to my laptop Media Composer - the update from XpressPro was the best $500 I've spent in a year. |
