Matt, try making your first stop in this quest for software and answers a stop at GlueTools.Com
You`ll need more software and answers for this (so the Cow is a good place) but GlueTools is a
good stop for me. There`s also visiting an Alexa edit shop. Fred Jodry -
Gautam, to get rid of some of the heat issue go to a cooled air supply. Some of the scientific or laser manufacturers make big thermocouple coolers that are practical to your uses. Also, game computer builders sometimes use some of this big stuff. Fred Jodry

Michael, our group exchanges some notes on experimentally synchronizing Alexas to non Alexas. We might or might not have good answers. My e-mail, educationalbroadcasting@hotmail.com

May 16, 2013 at 4:49 pm in reply to: 802.11ac – theoretically possible for wifi access to a SAN/NAS for video editing?Let`s repeat this another way. One of the problems will show up when your computer`s loudspeaker suddenly starts playing a telephone call between your next door neighbor Grandma, and her dentist, as she says, “Dr. Franklyn, all of this week I`ve been enjoying a television editor on my computer, and the best part is that it`s unlimited and free. Just set your DNS to 127.0.0.1.2372 number 1 to connect through me and you too can edit out all of your tv commercials on my free NAS editor!” I can also see your LED lights blink almost enough when you try to run a 5-scene vignette dissolve render with attached midi audio keying, all through your magic antennae. I have a better tip. Try running all of your employees` keyboards, mice, editing knobs, monitors, and audio through the same hub to one super power computer on one user name, then use the NAS strictly for backup, recall. Here`s a way to step the computing power up instead of down, in other words, it`ll work like a charm. Fred Jodry

Tom, here`s what works for me.
1. Pick a good box advertised here like, Active Storage (from the AJA event; I saw the Owner of the company demonstrate it) or Small tree. Two total winners amongst the sea of software, firmware, and hardware seaweed.
2. Hitch old Dobbin horse to the wagon. Stop complaining unless you sound really groovy.
3. Buy OWC (Other World Computing) SSD hard drives, and toss them in as you wallet goes down the road. It`s normally no reason to go RAID 0, 1, 0 + 1, et ce tera, because most hard drives and computing mistakes are primarily too much steam, a poor connection (usually a power cable), or a hard drive going below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or too hot. Keep it simple, stupid, and wieldly powerful.
4. Add backup, restore, storage to it like, tape drives running RAID 1 (not 0); or removable hard drives, or Pioneer DVD or BDR drives and a tested brand of disc.
Again: works for me. Fred Jodry -

April 2, 2013 at 5:29 pm in reply to: General questions about choosing a RAID card, beginnerDavid, Matrox does offer support but getting a new model consists of looking for a Dealer who has it, while getting a Matrox software driver consists of “go to https://www.gateway (…computers) .com”. It is a friendly but thin try every time.

March 27, 2013 at 5:10 pm in reply to: General questions about choosing a RAID card, beginnerOne factor that would steer me away from buying new ATTO cards is the same problem that I have with Matrox. The moment that you buy it it becomes an orphan. This assumes that one even figures out a way to buy one. Much though my e- mail is just alive with ATTO ads, they have never answered a reply.

John-Michael Seng-Wheeler:
“To answer your original question though, Arri has made no comment about sensor upgrades except a small hint that upgrading 16:9 sensors to 4:3 may become possible in the future.”
John, Arri already makes and sells the Alexa with both (approximate) 16:9 or (approximate) 4:3 sensors. If you see the wrong sensor then you are buying the wrong model. Buy the right one. There are both anamorphic and regular lenses too. Make workflows that output your real needs.

-For instance, sometimes a blown drive is really a drooping power supply, battery, or cable. Have one of those ready.
