you miss my point Mr. Garchow, and unfortunately for you, I have thought about this for a long time, in plenty of ridiculous theoretical conversations. You will be frolicking in the woods and mountains with a fair maiden, and you will be having a wonderful time. But I will observe this, and I will say “I want that fair maiden – that fair maiden is more lovely than the one that I have”. But you sir, are better looking than I am. And so I will say “what can I do to woo away this fair maiden from Jeremy Garchow. And LET ME ASSURE YOU, that if it involves hunting down a large bear, or learning how to grow beautiful flowers, or providing for her, to a level that she says “Jeremy, why can’t we have a wonderful cave like that” – I will work HARDER than you, and she will eventually leave you, because I can provide for her, the things that she wants. And this is how the human race was developed, and progressed. I want your fair maiden, and I will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make that happen, and unless you invent a bow and arrow (or a big rock) to stop me from doing so, I will do whatever it takes to win your fair maiden. Because I WANT MORE THAN YOU. Why – just because. Because that is the way that people are. They are competitive. They want more than the next guy. Nothing is satisfying (if you have a nice home, a nice car, a loving wife, wonderful kids, great vacations, great friends). Just look at our political candidates – what do they want ? MORE. And so we want 8K, and when we want 8K, RED, or Sony or someone else will have 12K and 16k, and your competitors will say “Jeremy sucks – look at that horrible 8K production he did – we did holographic 16 K – you should NEVER hire him ever again.” That is the history of progress. “What can I do to make my life better than yours”.

this product kind of reminds me of Melodyne for vocalists that cannot sing –

Universal Income, Jeremy?
Do you know why this won’t work? Because editor X will own a new Thunderbolt 3 Mac, or HP Z840 loaded up with GPU cards, and editor Y will say “I am still working on my old iMac – it’s all supposed to be fair with universal income – I deserve a Thunderbolt 3 Mac as well”. So what he will do is secretly work on the side, at 2AM, with YOUR clients, because he wants not only a thunderbolt 3 Mac, just like you have, but he wants a 34″ 8K monitor (mainly because you don’t have one). And he will charge almost nothing for this – but then, he gets better equipment then you do. And then you say “WAIT JUST A MINUTE – how come he has a 34″ 8K monitor, and I have this crappy 5K monitor”. So you start to work (if you are so inspired) extra hours secretly, so that you can not only have the Thunderbolt 3 montior, and the 8K monitor, but you want one of those 3800 MB/sec RAID arrays, which HE doesn’t have.
Etc, etc. And that’s why universal income never works. Because Elon Musk doesn’t understand is that everyone doesn’t get to drive a Telsa – and why should he, when you can’t drive a Telsa. So the people that want to be at the same level as Elon Musk will work harder, so they can live just like he does. Human beings and animals all want the same thing – more than the next guy.

are you up converting the SD footage to HD (because no one owns a TV or computer screen that looks at NTSC standard def video any more). So in AJA Data Calc, enter ProRes422, 1080i, 29.97, and see how much storage is required for one hour.
100 hours (100 tapes) is 7011 GB – so an 8TB array would work, but you should really get a 16 TB RAID array to be safe, and you will be fine.

you said you don’t want to make a short term investment. The R680 is around $900. It won’t work with thunderbolt.
I thought you were going to get a thunderbolt computer. I showed you an ATTO thunderbolt adaptor, which is basically the R680 in a thunderbolt box that you could continue to use your G-Speeds with, without losing your data.You can’t have it both ways.

you did not say how many users.
You need any NAS system that has a 10G connection, which in turn will connect to a 10G switch that all your users can connect to. Then they can share.You need EIGHT DISK DRIVES (any size you like) to get reliable playback for your multiple users. Can you get away with four drives NO – you can use cheap Toshiba 1TB drives for 50 bucks a piece, but if you don’t have 8 drives spinning, your system will suck. Can you use a Drobo? NO – no 10G connection. Can you use your office switch – NO – you need at least a 10G uplink port.

I am going to strangle Jay Mahavier
here is a wonderful AVID feature article on his workflow with Robert Rodriguez using the AVID ISIS (which uses
1G Ethernet) –
https://www.avid.com/pro-tools-hd/customer-stories/detail?story=Sin-CityEditing Sin City: A Dame to Kill For involved myriad editorial venues and staff simultaneously. Rodriguez worked from his Austin, Texas home where he has his own Media Composer and Pro Tools systems. Editor Ian Silverstein, first assistant editor/digital conform editor Jay Mahavier and VFX editor Travis Smith were based at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin.
So you are an AVID editor, you work with MAJOR production companies on MAJOR feature films, and you are trying to cheap out on updating your shared storage from some ANTIQUE Unity system, instead of buying this –
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1153056-REG/avid_9935_65955_00_isis_%7C_1000_20tb.html14 grand for a complete AVID Nexis Pro with 20 TB of storage – too expensive ? WHAT THE HELL is wrong with you Jay (or the guy that you are working for) – this is what a USED ISIS would have cost just a couple of years ago.
What is happening to this industry, where NO ONE – not even the top professionals like Jay Mahavier are willing to spend ANY MONEY on new modern equipment, that will do exactly what they want.Is 14 grand over budget for the major feature films that you work on ?
