Yes, the same mechanism that restricts actual San locations.

You can do this with CatDV. Import all the master files into a catalog then the edl. If you have the “link media based on reel and timecode” enabled the edl clips will link and you can export them all as flattened movies to a drive.

Space expansion was explained to me like this:

Imagine chassises can be expanded horizontally and vertically.

Adding chassises horizontally increases speed/size and can add redundancy. Stacking vertically adds capacity.

If you start with a Space chassis with three raid cards in it you ca add two addition Space EX chassises horizontally. This gives you speed and or course size. If you use three Space chassises then one entire chassis can fail so you have speed and redundancy.

Once you’ve decided on your horizontal config you can add additional rows vertically to add capacity.

Data wil write to the first row only until either the bandwidth or size of that first row is exceeded.
No need to match drive size when adding rows. Just number of chassises and number of drives in each. In other words you can add a row of 4TB Space to existing 2 or 3TB Space.

The horizontal expansion is via SAS and the vertical is via 10G. All rows are connected to a NAS cluster controller which is basically a box full of 10Gig cards. One can have two of these controllers for redundancy as well.

Hope I got that all correct.

I spoke to the CTOs of both companies.

At the chassis level they are similar, but GBLabs chassises can be connected to deliver capacity, throughput, and redundancy in ways that Small Tree’s cannot.

GBLabs runs a Linux kernel and the file system is xfs, Small Tree is zfs.

A flattened file is fine until you encounter a dissolve your CC can’t ride through without looking wrong.

It now reads TCSource aka the original QT/FCP7 Reel/Tape entry. It’s populating the com.apple.ProAps.Reel field so it must look there first and then TCSource. I’d assume if the two were different it would use the com.Apple… entry.

Thank You Apple!

Alex,

Can you describe the environment as far as number of clients, concurrent ingest or playout streams, file formats involved, and connectivity?

Thanks
John

Thanks Abraham that was wicked fast!
