Thanks for responding, both! Great to get Bob’s endorsement of these solutions.
I already have an Infortrend RAID directly connected to my Mac Pro via dual SAS which I hope should be able to keep up.
I’d hoped to be able to add a second seat directly connected to one of the Mac’s internal GigE ports since the Softsharx website says “You don´t even need a dedicated Mac to act as a server… You can use your editing station BOTH as an editor and a server” – but would you advise against doing that, Bob? Overexcited marketing-blurb is one thing and the real world is another. I’m wondering, too, if GigE will be fast enough.
If I really do need a dedicated server then perhaps Bernard’s solution will turn out to be the most cost-effective – I’m quite happy to buy the OTHER STUFF I need to make it all work reliably. I’m a bit worried that the SoftSharX site doesn’t seem to have been updated in a while.

Thanks Bob, and Taylor… Speaking to JMR’s UK rep at the moment.

That is a very clever suggestion. Thank you,
Having done so, the difference is almost imperceptible — the reconformed 1:1 is very very slightly sharper but it’s so close as to make virtually no difference, IMHO.
Your mileage may vary…

Hey Sherif –
Did you ever find a solution to this? Cos I’m having the same problem….

Aww I know Bob Zelin is a tremendous engineer having read his posts over the years. I consider being flamed by him a badge of honour. Even if his attack on me was completely unprovoked and uncalled-for 🙂

Thank you Walter and SHOUTY Bob.
Of course I wasn’t planning to spec the system myself.
I said I was going to cast my eyes over the hardware spec that’s proposed to me, and I was asking for people’s recommendations for what constitutes their “ideal” system so that when I’m presented with the equipment list I would have the collective thoughts of the forum to throw into the discussion. I’d be able to say things like “this guy in California raves about his JL Cooper controller… what about one of those?”. Of course the dealer will have his own opinion on all this stuff but he’s just one dealer. This forum represents wisdom from across the world and that is its great value. No two “ideal” systems are the same which is why I asked the question.
Walter’s response was helpful – he told me about his setup and gave some advice. Bob’s told me to go do WHAT I was going to do ANYWAY, only with more SHOUTING, and without ANSWERING THE QUESTION. Good to see he hasn’t changed since I used to hang out on the Avid-L 🙂
