The Future of FCP Editing?

[Michael Gissing]

The bandwidth is impressive, but I have been running a fibre channel RAID for nearly five years, so until I need to go to 4K uncompressed real time playback, I am covered.

A more impressive demo I saw a while ago on YouTube was with a RAID made up of solid state drives. The throughput from those drives was also really impressive and they don’t get hot. So maybe the future is a solid state RAID with a LightPeak connector.

I’m impressed by 2 things.

1- The amount of bandwidth.

2- How many Intel engineers does it take to demo a light bulb?

Yes it does have vary nice bandwidth for data sure, problem is what out there could take advantage of that bandwidth.

Example the sata connection on a hard drive is capable of moving data far faster then what the drive can spin at.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

thanks for posting this

I think this is very very interesting

If there is a touch screen controller coming out in the next few years, this kit could be very important, it frees programs like Color from ethernet connections or slow USB for control surfaces and would lead to many virtual control surface possibilities

also if this becomes a standard I think the hard drives we may all be buying in the future can be sitting somewhere remotely very easily with the long runs of cable

plus one standard to rule them all sounds like bliss, bit like that elusive mobile charger that works on all phones

seems optical fibre is coming to the masses, blackmagic optical SDI kit is doing now as well, maybe time to take a good look

I think they were actually demoing some sort of “extended version” of USB III connection that will be released next year. And i am pretty sure that this is going to be the future of FCP Editing!!

It’s not USB 3, this has been developed by Apple and Intel and is mulitpurposed, It can handle a display, storage, network at the same time without having 4 or 5 different ports on the computer. I’m sure it will do much more than that in regards to storage and networking since it can go upto 100 meters before loosing speed. Very cool and promising.

It needs more blinking lights, buttons and fader bars. THEN it will be the future of editing.

that’s what we’re missing. All the blinking lights, buttons, knobs, wheels and such. Maybe that’s why I’m so interested in getting a control panel for Color. Kind of takes me back to the day when you actually needed all those controls to operate the machines…..

You want lights and speed 🙂 Check out Bell Labs latest test.

“The record-breaking figure was derived by multiplying the number of lasers by their 100 Gigabit per second transmission rate and then multiplying the aggregate 15.5 Terabit per second result by the 7000 kilometer distance achieved.”

This is the official press release:

Now how this can get into a FCP world, who knows.
