Edit suite designs
I’m looking to get a 2 station edit suite up and running but would like to get some system design help. I’m interested in having 2 FCP systems that both use a server (X-serve or a HUGE server) to store video. I want the servers to store video mostly – not necessarily capture the video to begin with – although I wouldn’t mind if it had that capability.
Is there somewhere a person can look at drawings or documents to show how a system like this should be configured?

Talk to VAR (Value Added Reseller) who has done this type of setup before. If you’ve never built a system like this, you could be in for a LOT of headaches. If the VAR installs the system and there’s a problem, they have to fix it. If you install and have a problem, guess who’s going to trouble shoot it.
I’m not saying you can’t do it, but I certainly wouldn’t have I’ve built a bunch of FCP systems.
If you’re in the Southeast or East Coast, I highly recommend the WH Platts company. David Strupp is my contact in the Atlanta area. davids@whplatts.com
