  Compressor 4 and SAN: Is it required?

  Posted by Doug Daulton on May 26, 2012 at 10:55 pm

  I am having some trouble setting up distributed rendering using Compressor 4. I’ve outlined the issue in the following post on the “Compression Techniques” forum.

  As I suspect I may need to introduce a SAN to the equation, would interested folks pop over there and comment as needed.

  Thanks,

  Doug

  Hi –
  I answered your email earlier, without a good answer. Now, I have a good answer.

  You do not need a SAN. But you need a simple network for all your Mac computers –

  For Compressor 4 –

  see the explanation of QuickCluster within QMaster –

  ok, now, how do you do a Quickcluster using Compressor 4 ?
