Very cool post Michael.

[Bob Zelin]

I agree. I enjoyed Michael’s post more than 99% of the crap I have read here recently.
If it were not participation from real professional people like Tony, Eric, Michael, Oliver, and the rest (you know who you are), I would not be here any more.

Interesting.

I saw them working with TB3 accessories at IBC but the website blurb is vague at best when describing their ability to work with TB3. TB2 seems ok, but I have directly asked the question to Global Distribution in the UK who are the distributors for GTech and Corning and they have said that 40GB/s at 50m is guaranteed.

Lovely post Bob, thanks for that.

And I have my machine room thanks to Mr. Bob Zelin. Still churning away in a separate edit suite away from the noise and heat.

[Oliver Peters] “I suspect you’ll see that in some broadcast facilities, but more likely in large engineering environments or data centers.”

I recently banned all fans from my workspace and stored away all of the noisy stuff as well. Just outside the edit room in a cooled rack.

Mac Pro, Jellyfish Mobile, Promise Raid, and TB outboard gear are all out there – thus no need to extend TB3. The only signals/cables going back into the suite are: USB 3.0 extender for all things USB, 10Gb Network cable for all things on the network, HDMI cables for the two 4K work monitors, HDMI for the 4K grading Monitor and the MADI Link cable to bring the audio into the room.

Working has been pleasant again ever since…

I think the reason to extend TB3 is because with one or two cables, you can deliver all that data and capability to your desks without having to run a separate cable for each data requirement.

You can break TB3 out to nearly any spigot you need and then keep everything else back on the rack.

Yes, that makes sense. We found that we wanted to stay as flexible as possible. We use a Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR for the grading monitor for example, which get’s its SDI signal from a UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3. Those are both noisy units as are most BMD products with fans. With TB in the room we would have to pull all that gear back inside.

In addition we did some math and the separate cables were much cheaper than throwing in a 15 meter optical TB cable.
