We’ve got some lovely new hardware upgrades in the edit suite. Most impressively is the client monitor/second monitor in the MacPro suite, which gives a nice 42″ second monitor for graphics and playback for clients in offline. We’re slowly moving everything to all HD and hope to add an HDTV set to the friendly confines to help monitor our programming for the near and far future.

Most importantly for how things work around here, we’ve added some new SATA capacity for both of our suites. So, now we’ve got a 9TB array (which theoretically can read almost 3 streams of HD uncompressed on the MacPro, have yet to see that in action, though I fear that Final Cut will limit its abilities), as well as two small 700GB SD arrays of fast storage. That gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of working between the two suites (all the storage can be swapped to either computer) as well as a lot of speed and storage for taking on longer and more intense HD jobs in the near future… hopefully, we’ll continue to grow as the new year blooms.
