Thanks Brian.
I’m a little perplexed about this ethernet solution, though. I keep hearing that ethernet connections are not fast enough for video editing. Yet it seems to work for you. I also hear that the current MacBook Pro laptops are not capable of handling Jumbo Frames (a limitation of the internal Ethernet adapter) and therefore are no good at playing video over Ethernet.
Does this discrepancy in reports ring a bell for you?
thanks!
