I believe that the 5500 can playout 25 as 23.98 and pitch correct the audio at the same time. But what that would do to your audio encode I do not know.
If you found something that works go with it.

There is a caveat to the 25 to 23.98 conform process. Your TRT will grow by 4% and your audio with shift in pitch.
A quick way to pitch correct the audio is to conform the video, note the new TRT. Take the 25fps audio into soundtrack and use the time stretch process. Enter in the new TRT, render and output.

Yes it can. Just make a custom QT movie setting, set the video and audio to what you want, set the frame size to what you want and encode.

In the TC display set it to Time & Time. 2 TC displays will be stacked. I believe VITC will be on top LTC on the bottom just shuttle fast through the tape and the one that loses track is VITC. If you do not see both displays then change the vertical position of the display until you see both TCs.

[Micah Fitzkee] “If I had a XServe, a Mac Pro, and a External Raid, wouldn’t they all need FC? Would I really need a switch then? What the heck.”
What the heck is what tech support personnel will be saying about what you are trying to do. FC uses SCSI protocols that I am pretty sure would not work the way you want them to. You will be spending a minimum of $1200 on FC HBAs and cables to get something that probably will not work. Why do that when you can buy a 1TB G raid that will give you 60MB/s plus bandwidth of DAS and avoid pain of trying to duct tape a system together. Dump the Xserve buy an eSATA or FW800 RAID.
For clarity in communication G5s are Power Macs not Mac Pros.
Good Luck

This was one of my to do’s at NAB this year. I too have no budget for a 25K CRT HD reference. So I looked at three models the Sony Luma LMD2450W, the Panasonic BT-LH2600W, and the JVC DT-V24L1DU. I liked the JVC the best. The image was as good or better then the other monitors. It is 1920×1080 native which the Pani is not. It comes with HD-SDI inputs standard, all for less then 5K. I’ve seen the JVC online for $3500. I was impressed. Pani does have a 120hz monitor that was really clean but the $$ jump wasn’t worth it to me.

Try making self contained QT copies of the clips that you want to slow-mo. Open those clips in Cinema Tools and conform the frame rate to your editing base rate. This process is irreversible so only use this on copies.

I have not worked with any of the San in a Can solutions but I have run both metasan and xsan. I lean towards XSan because of the scalability of the volume. The following would be my equipment list for a solid SAN system.
A metadata controller
A backup metadata controller
SAN Software for each client and controller
Fibre channel switch
Corporate Gigabit ethernet switch
Metadata Gigabit ethernet switch
Fibre Channel HBAs for clients and controllers
Fibre Channel RAIDs with enough bandwidth for your house
UPS for the gear with email notification and machine shutdown abilities
Rack for the Gear
A machine room with proper AC to keep the gear cool
2 CAT6 runs to each member of the SAN
2 FC runs to each member of the SAN(copper for within the rack, optical for runs to the edit bays)
Static IPs for all members of the SAN
Apple Remote Desktop to manage the system
Trained personal to install the whole thing
24/7 tech support from the SAN companyHope this helps.

G-Technology’s G-RAIDs have been a solid performers for me. The 500GB drive I got when they first came out is still humming along. I have had only one go down and G-Tech quickly fixed the issue.
