So are you saying out of the two cards the 8800GT is probably a better bet as its NVidia?

If you are saying you have FCPx working in a small (commercial) station broadcasting to cable/satellite or terrestrial I would love to talk to you about how you did it/what problems you have etc. Probably best to take this off forum as the thread is getting quite big.

Andy,
“I suspect that since this station is a start-up and small, that price point is a major consideration. Installing a “bullet-proof” solution costs a great deal more than being the guinea pig.
But I wouldn’t say that FCPX is “unproven for their needs,” because who’s to say it is? Perhaps they looked at FCPX and said that it’s exactly what they need, and so they are building out from there.
Yes it’s a new NLE, but it works well for new NLE, and it has a lot of features that mesh well with news storytelling. Whether or not you can build a decent pipeline around it…well, I guess the OP will find out.”
Yes cost is a mayor consideration and booklet proof is probably beyond our price point, I think maybe something like Edious may be a safer option. If others have got FCPx working in a smeller environment that’s cool but if not I think letting someone else be the first would be the way to go (regardless of if it saves us a few hundred bucks).

“Or are they more interested in getting something that works RIGHT NOW, no speculation or theorizing necessary, has been proven to work under more demanding circumstances than theirs, and is so stable that it’s virtually bulletproof?”
I go for this option. Grass Valley Edious certainly seems like its worth looking at.

Thanks a lot for that. I get you on the tail wagging the dog, I said it mainly because the actual derision wont be made for at least 6 months.
I also appreciate the comment about being forward looking and agree but think if I use this as a reason not to buy FCPx it will be met with resistance. The stance will probably be re-evaluate in a year and if things are going well change system (I know this is not ideal).

Realised the subject may of put people off, this is not a casual is FCPx used in local TV but a legitimating question from a prospective new station in the UK.

People have used the term reasonably fast system a few times. Is 2×2 3Ghz considered reasonably fast in this context?
