Hello,

The average shoot length for each capsule is 75 mins (let’s overshoot to 90 mins). There will be about 160 of them.

So that would be about 18TB at 175, when all is said and done. Which is about double with the original footage.

I may have access to a server connected through Gigabit ethernet. Since they usually work in a Premiere environment, it’s not really configured for Avid, and I don’t know their setup enough to see if we can make it work in regards to media management (there would probably be an assistant syncing and importing stuff while the editor works).

Or else the house may be willing to shell some cash for a small RAID array. (A 4-drive tower configured as RAID5 should be ample enough.)

Mainly, I’m trying to keep this workflow simple since they don’t have anyone with Avid experience.

Thanks a lot for your response, it means a lot.

Jason
