Thanks, Tony!
Let’s just talk about this some more.
Decklink cards can work with pro tools for video, but when you need two PCI cards for pro tools, and one for fibre, you’re one slot short. Maybe a PCI extender that can work with PCI-X? Or stick to a G4 with five PCI slots?
How does a pro tools unity setu-up fit everything in? Unity needs a fibre card and at least two pro-tools cards, and one for the meridien PCI card, or does it work with adrenaline now, using firewire?
silly, innit?

Would adrenaline be able to use the DV25 footage in this case?

[Walter Biscardi] ” At $129 and $199 for a 5 license package, it’s a very cheap investment anyway. “
From the apple website, regarding the 5 license option:
The Family Pack is an easy and inexpensive way of using a single copy of Mac OS X to install the operating system on up to 5 Macintosh computers (household use only).So, we can not use the 5 pack $199 option for business.

Hi Nick
I think you misunderstood. I don’t want to use the Io for audio with pro tools. Pro Tools has their own DAE audio interfaces.
I have to use the Io for video with Pro Tools, since all the PCI slots are used up and I need to use firewire for video. I’m hoping to be able to send out DV and uncompressed SD video over firewire to the Io, without using a PCI slot for video.
Hope my question makes sense now.

Sounds like your FCP installation has gone weird. Trash your preferences, restart FCP. If that does not help, test your disk speed.

Hi Bob
My only problem with this is that you don’t get raid 5 protection. The clients must be made aware of this: they will be 8 times more likely to get a drive (and thus array) failure – compared to a single drive – using Bob’s 8 drive raid 0 array.
It really is a huge chunk of storage at the price, but if you have so much space – it’s just so much more data to lose in case of a single drive failure – and we’ve all had one of this before… It will and does happen. Regularly.
