[Bruce Watson] “If you really want to hear the feed at the camera, all you need is another receiver (a duplicate of the camcorder’s EK-100 G3 receiver). Tune it to the same frequency as the transmitter, and you can receive the exact same feed as the camera. The EK-100 gives you a mic-level signal. Depending on the sensitivity of your headphones, you may need a headphone amplifier, the SD receiver may not have enough power for your particular application.”
this is exactly what

is. a second receiver that is designed to allow a headphone to monitor.
I think maybe I copied the wrong BHphoto link.
Though i know that the SD products provide excellent headphone amps.

If within FCP X you duped the media to another library and then deleted the first library, would the media still be there? I can’t get my head around how the media could (without using aliases) be in both libraries but not double the space. A library is just a container so how could the media be in two places at once without one or both referencing the media files?

If the media drive is almost full, wouldn’t you want to consolidate media off that drive? Seems to me if you set a new location for render files, they should show up there after a render.

Thanks Brett,
One more question: would the small backup project files that FCP X generates and card copies of all media be able to recreate a project in case of failure? This would be way less TBs then backing up my entire project folders.
I use a voyager dock with bare drives for other purposes and have never had an issue.

I use CCC. But I’m wondering if there isn’t a space saving and less time consuming way to back up my projects. Project file + original media or media copy copies??? Would that be able to recreate the project after a drive failure or whatever???

I launch it only to make sure the back up is solid.

Hi Bret.
Thanks for your help.4 copies in the sense that if my media in FC gets corrupted and I’ve run into this, I have the original card copy to reimport.
But what I am hearing from you is that raids are less reliable than individual drives. I wonder if I can format one of these raids as just a bunch of drives. If so I could treat them as four independent hard drives.
I could then back up my master folders (projects) to independent drives. This would require a bit more organization than just cloning one raid to another but if it adds security, it would be better.
I was thinking of going to tape based back up system but thanks for the warning there.
Do you use some kind of dock to swap out bare hard drives or do you use individual enclosures?
I don’t quite see how partitions helps all that much? If the drive fails then you loose all the partitions but the structure of a partition can also go bad so I guess it helps there and does provide a level of organization. Or does the partitions just allow easier cloning?
Are you saying that individual HDs are reliable for 5-6 years? I though more like 3-4 years. Do you use enterprise class?

well the waveforms in general do indicate the relative volumes within a clip but the absolute levels are indicated by the meters. I wouldn’t mind all that if they would add a feature to normalize and/or add a limiter and or broadcast safe filter (vocab?) to the entire timeline or selected portion.
