Question about data stream for Uncompressed HD SDI video
My production studio is looking into purchasing a raid tower to complement our G5 for capturing Uncompressed HD-SDI for editing and playback. We are interested in the LaCie Biggest 5-Disk but it says its maximum trasfer rate is 180mb/s which shouldn’t be nearly enough for uncompressed HD. Does anyone know if this would work or have experience with Uncompressed HD? It says that it can handle uncompressed but I don’t believe it. Here is the info on the tower I’m looking at:

That drive will support DVCPro HD and HDV, but you can’t run it with uncompressed HD.
