Hi Bob,

Thanks for your speedy reply.
Yes, I saw the limit of 2 extra expansion units, and thought “if we reach that much capacity, let’s buy another RackStation RS3617xs+ and create another volume/partition”

Only limit would be the ports on the Netgear Switch correct?
Main thing I liked about the above model was the fact it already has 2 x 10 GbE ports installed and 2 PCI options for 2 extra Nic’s.

But the future readiness of the 18016xs+ makes it a serious candidate.
Any other Nas you would advise? Very open to suggestions. We’re not looking to cheap out of this, even though we are not even editing full time.

Thanks Bill for the remark of the Green Tubes, I’ve read contradicting things on this subject, but am stepping away from the Green tubes as we are using the Rosco Ultimatte Green paint which should be good to start with.

Regarding to the difference in a one or multiple person setup, I understand this, only light for what you need. But I need to be able to light the whole setup, hence the question.

I am not sure how fast this light type falls off. I do understand that we need to be approx. 50% of the hight of the wall in distance. So a 4.5m high wall setup would result in a light hanging approx. 2.25m away in an angle of 45 degrees downwards.

My new questions remains, for an evenly flow, using a kino or similar, could I hang a X-number of them side-by-side and light 4.5m to the ground?

Hi Mark,

As we haven’t painted it yet, we can also attach a side wall as I am liking your idea.
I was thinking of the following:

Regarding the lighting, the main subject. I’m thinking in lowering the hight of the lights as I want one row of lights from top to bottom (curve). Would you say that a Kino Flo 4 or 2 Bank-Fixture would be able to go from 4.5m to ground? In an angle of 45 degrees and have an even light?

Hi Mark,

The setup already is bigger than what we need atm, so didn’t see the benefits.
One correction, I’ve leaned that we don’t want the GamFloor, but we going to use the more permanent Vinyl floor from rosco.

Perhaps a side question, but what about lighting vertically? So lights left and right from the green screen in an angle of 45 degrees inwards.
