Yeah …project is 24.00 – shots show up as 24fps in Quicktime, Vegas and Premiere Pro – only FCP sees them as 23.98… which sucks because we are using FCP and not the other programs. We don’t have time to re-render all the clips.

Animated series and everything is created at 24.00

Of course – but a more expensive solution. The original post was between the HVX and the V1 and to me the V1 is the clear winner – better picture, better form factor, less expensive and affordable OEM hard drive solution.

After seeing the V1 footage projected at DVEXPO – it’s not even close – the V1 is just insane for the money. While I love the look the HVX has, the V1 is way north of the HVX in image quality. And don’t even talk to me about 4:2:2 vs. 4:2:0 blah blah blah – who cares – the V1 just looks better – kudos to Sony.

According to the Small Tree guys – you can’t trunk a 2 port card in the Mac’s because they see each line coming to the switch as a seperate IP (or something like that?) – so no speed benefit – I was going to put their 2-port card in each machine but they said no, so I’m using the G5 built-in port since the newer ones support jumbo frames etc. If the built-in port doesn’t vut it I’ll buy the single port cards from Small Tree.
You can trunk from your switch to the server so I’m using their 4 port card in the G5 for max speed to everyone on the switch.
I almost bought the Foundry switch but opted for the Asante Intracore 36524 – similar spec’s as the Fast Iron but almost half the price (around 2 grand vs. 4). Will post my results once we’re acually editng. Really tight budget here too…

I’m setting up a similar network with 4 edit bays cutting 720p DVCPRO using MetaLan. I opted for the Sonnet 5 bay eSATA cases – doing 2 2.5 TB raids mirrored and 1 RAID 0 for uncompressed finishing (local of course). I’m going to use the Small Tree 4 port card and trunk the lines to the Mac from the switch for max access to the raid’s for all users. Using the Mac’s built-in ethernet ports to start – if there is a performance problem will add Small Tree cards to all the machines.
Because of so many MacPro/third party issues – we were forced to go all G5’s (Quads) – couldn’t deal with MacPro problems on a TV series delivery schedule. Next season maybe will add some Intel Mac’s to the mix.
Thanks to Shane for the MetaSan info – sorry we couldn’t buy it direct from Promax.

We start cutting boards this week but animation won’t be in for a month or so – maybe I’ll cut the boards on our existing XpressPro system and bring them into the updated system later.
Just hate to invest in older generation hardware if the new stuffs gonna be certified soon.

Why are you working 23.98? 24pA is 23.976 – render your targa’s at 23.976 or re-interpret your footage to 23.976.
