I am hoping to output HD SDI to another deck. I see the video output option. Which of the 1080 options would I select? 1080 or 1080 59.94 from 23.98.

Can you do the 23.98 to 29.97 frame rate conversion on the matrox as well?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Bob, I saw you at NAB last month and was going to go talk to you but you had a swarm of groupies following you! haha

I just got done reading your machine room, edit room, and build your own san articles. Loved em. Also read Biscardis article on his setup.

I am hoping to do something similar at our post house. I call it the poor man’s San.

I am skeptical of Maxx Digital’s Final Share and GraniteStor as they both do the setup for a fee, and the RAID’s they offer just look like they got them from istoragepro, installed their own drives and repackaged it. I call foul.

I am planning on just buying a switch from small tree and doing the AFP myself. I know how to program each machine to do jumbo packs and connect to a server, the only variable is setting up the switch.

I’m assuming there is a web-interface with the switch to do the programming and it should be something I can do on my own.

Any advice? Is there a guide on how to program a switch with link aggregation for video editing?

Appreciate you time.
