If all you are looking to do is DVCProHD (I am confused as to exactly which HD you want to do), DVCProHD requires only 2 SATA drives in one enclosure. Even SATA I in an “old style” 2 bay box will do DVCProHD with ZERO problems. Uncompressed HD is what requires all the drives.

if you mean QT 7.1, I updated an AVID Adrenaline, and the AVID software would not even run after this update. !!!!!!!

stop asking questions, and just trust me. Get the Sonnet E4P and the Fusion 500 and 5 Hitachi 500 Gig SATA drives. This will give you 2.5 TB, and you can expand to 10 TB on this one card. You won’t have drive failures – trust me. This is an incredible package, at an incredible price. This is what you want.

plug into the 1/4″ Line input (not XLR) on your VLZ, and you will have no distortion problems. Yes, you will have to spend $5.00 at Radio Shack, but what is more important – lunch, or no distortion?

Charlie –
just use the Gefen CAT 5 extenders – they will work great for the Cinema displays. Use your existing lines in the conduit to act as pull lines to yank the new CAT 5 cables into place. It’s very easy to pull out this cable (provided it’s not crammed in there) and as you yank it out, yank the new CAT 5 lines along with it.bob Zelin

you will find that long DVI-D cables will ultimately fail after a certain distance. Gefen and others make DVI extenders that work great, and Gefen even has a DVI booster for long DVI cables that start to fail, in addition to their CAT 5 series extenders.

I totally agree with Ron – B+H is a great company to buy from and they have great prices. But both of you, who are both VERY HARD WORKING GUYS who know exactly how to read a manual, and know exactly how to call AJA or HUGE, or anyone else to get the support you need – REFUSE to reprimand the guy that refuses to read the manual, or call for support, but simply wants to buy the cheapest place he can, (nothing then works), and he says HELP, or just goes to the Apple Store.
There is a growing segement of the market that buys ALL KINDS OF STUFF – not just AJA equipment, but everything (certainly including hi end stereo equipment and home automation equipment), and think that they just plunk down the money, take it out of the box, and it just works. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN – it does not apply to AJA, AVID, or Blackmagic equipment, and it does not happen with Crestron or AMX remote control systems, it does not happen with hi end home theater systems, it does not apply to internet based multi camera home security systems. The world is filled with COMPLEX ELECTRONICS, and it drives me crazy (from Midi musical equipment to the stuff that we do for a living) that some people think that they just go out to the store to buy this stuff, plug it in, and it just works. IT DONT WORK THAT WAY – IT NEVER HAS, AND IT NEVER WILL. The intuitive universe will not exist while any of us are alive.
Sorry for the rant, but SOMEONE HERE has to read the damn manual, even if it’s someone that you hire, becuase you are too busy.

Maybe I have been asleep, but NVidia makes graphics cards, not RAID controllers. What model NVidia raid controller do you have ?

I urge you to contact a VALUE ADDED RESELLER or freelance engineer that you can HIRE to help you.
The ATTO UL5D works very nicely with the MAC Quad, and the AJA Kona LHe is absolutlely compatible with your Macintosh. The HUGE array is a very nice drive array as well.This will teach you to NEVER buy from a discount house like B+H Photo or Samy’s camera (for example) again. There is an expression – “there ain’t no free lunch”. When you need support, you need to PAY SOMEONE, and your system is not configured correctly. I would be very surprised if your ATTO card is broken, and I would be very surprised if there is anything wrong with your AJA Kona LHe card. Someone just needs to install it correctly for you.
If you are not familiar with downloading drivers from the internet, and reading the manuals to show you where to install the cards inside the MAC Quad computer, then you will need to HIRE SOMEONE to help you.
There is no Apple store in the United States that is qualified to work on ATTO, AJA or HUGE products.
