Keep in mind, there are 7200rpm laptop drives available. This is what the RED Drive uses.

I found the spec sheet for my speakers and it gives the answer. 120 watts with loud music, but only 12 watts when in idle. Still good to turn off at night, but not the end of the world if left on.

Wow, I just googled this topic and this thread is the #1 hit. Scary.
Yeah I’m just curious if turning them off at night is trivial or if it actually makes a difference.

Don,
You’re using Mac clients, right? Then the HP is a big mistake. It’s SMB w/ a non-Mac filesystem. You want something that has AFP. I would look at Lacie’s newest NAS units. Similar price. Or set something up like what Bob did with Small Tree cards.

Most brand new consumer displays are probably good enough for color grading HD. They all have a greater luma and chroma range than pro LCD monitors of the recent past. The problem is you would have to have it professionally calibrated with a colorimeter before you could trust it. And even after that it may not retain the calibrated state after many hours of use.

[Richard Day] “Shane Ross has a “stock Answer” #8: External Monitor Viewing. I’m essentially trying to follow his suggestion, but using an LCD monitor. Previous posts indicate an HD TV would be a bad idea, which is why I’m thinking about the Ikan.”
Didn’t realize you were talking about scrolling text. One could write an entire book about scrolling text on interlaced formats. With your described workflow I think you need a CRT. Sorry. Maybe you could consider making you graphics and text as progressive-scan. I’ve never tried throwing progressive-scan scrolling text on top of interlaced video, but it might solve the problem.

Delete the unused track. Pan the other track to the center.

You may be going about this all wrong. First of all, what do you mean by “interlacing issues?” Bad 3:2 cadence? Or just seeing interlacing at all? Because for 60i footage that’s exactly what you should see on an LCD if the signal is not being processed/deinterlaced.
Secondly, LCD televisions have built-in deinterlacing chips. Depending on the quality and age of the TV, it will attempt to cover-up or even eliminate bad 3:2 cadence. Sometimes it does this well. Sometimes you get blocking artifacts because it’s using linear filtering. TVs will also deinterlace 60i footage to 60p. TVs are generally designed to cover up mistakes made in post – not help you identify them.

This is normal. The boom just went to one channel.
