In your original post, you mentioned a two-tiered desk.
Are you planning on putting the monitors up on the second tier, and how high of a tier would it be?
I ask after having spent my formative years at a facility where the desks for every edit station, non-linear as well as linear, were designed with the monitors at least 6″ if not 10″ off the main desk. It seemed like such a cool setup at the time, but after six years uf looking “up” everyday, especially in the NLE rooms, which were higher up than the linear rooms, I can tell you, anything higher than 3 or 4 inches “up”, or perhaps 2 rack units high, will leave you with a sore neck at the end of the day.
I can attribute fatigue, headaches, and a grumpy demeanor after a long edit day to the poor ergonomics of those edit stations.
Not to harsh on my former employer, ‘cos it was a great place to work and I learned so much there, like never build an edit station and intend to put the monitor so I’d have to spend the day lookng “up”!! If your stations are built so the editors are looking straight into the middle of the screen, then you’re golden!

Joe Paolo!!
I learned a LOT from watching this man edit for a couple of years as one of his assistants.
I s’pose it’s more difficult if you’re already an editor to watch another editor edit to learn….but it worked wonders for me!

[Ren Hinks] “I don’t know that I could show up at the agency with a DVCam after I was handed a BetaCam for source. ;>)”
But you could be super-sneaky and dub the DVCam back to BSP and deliver that….
But that wouldn’t be right…or would it?!?!
