Asset Management System Poll |
| posted by Enrique Tejero on Nov. 17, 2015, 4:10 p.m. (1 day ago) |
| We're thinking about making some changes with the way we manage our assets behind Shotgun. Wanted to take a poll on what people are using, so I can help build a case here. If you don't mind answering the following short questions, ideally with one-word answers, I'd really appreciate it!
1. How many employees in your studio? 2. Are you currently using an asset management system?
2.1. If you bought it, which one? 2.2. If you wrote it, is it just a structured file-folder system, or DB-based? 3. Top 2 reasons why you're using or not using an asset management system?
Thanks! Enrique | |

YAZQ - Yet Another ZFS Question |
| posted by Steve Molin on Nov. 18, 2015, 10:53 a.m. (1 day ago) |
| Hello all. Have really appreciated all the interesting conversations on this list! Thanks to everyone for your contributions to this forum.
I'm setting up a fileserver for a new, small studio, Sprocketship VFX in Portland, Oregon (http://thesprocketship.com) and of course I chose to do this with ZFS - in particular, ZFS-on-Linux. I would appreciate any thoughts on my configuration so far.
In particular, we're concerned about throughput (isn't everyone?). So far I've just measured with dbench locally (suggestions for other tests), and I'm getting about 240MB/s. Without changing to more than two stripes, anything dumb I'm doing that's limiting my throughput? Does 29TB usable space sound about right with 16 2TB drives after parity? Thanks in advance!

ffmbc still a thing? |

| Is the ffmbc fork of ffmpeg still alive? It was hosted on google code but that's gone, and I can't seem to find if it has survived and transitioned to somewhere else, or if it just died.

Isilon SMB3 and Prefetch |
| posted by Julian Firminger on Dec. 1, 2015, 5:05 a.m. (4 days ago) |
| Hi list,
Hoping someone else out there (Pete Smith??) has been doing some perf tuning on Isilon for SMB3. I've hit a wall, or think I have, on our NL cluster. (Yes, NL, we have an X, dont ask...)
/etc/mcp/override/sysctl.conf
sysctl isi.access.custom1.fnprefetch.lookahead=9 Is this
defined in files? sysctl isi.access.custom1.prefetch.12_ssd_disable=0 Should
this be set to 1 on an NL as there is no SSD
Which asks a further question. What's going on with prefetch in RAM. If I disable SSD use is the fs jamming files into RAM ahead of the nic? The EMC documentation on this is pretty sparse.
Once I invoke isi set custom1/streaming on that node&path I'm not seeing much improvement. I'm not sure if I'm bumping up against the nodes limits or the sysctl.conf params are not suited to the NL cluster.
Anyone been down this road? Snr. Systems Administrator, United Broadcast Facilities Amsterdam, The Netherlands

| Anyone suggest the best price/value for high speed internet connection for a small office in Beverly Hills? This is needed for about 3-6 sales/development people. Any local suppliers I should know about? And sometime early January I will need someone to set up this small office - printer, wireless, vpn. Anyone available or can point me somewhere local and cheap? Much appreciated :) John Hickson | |

Project management solution for a small studio? |
| posted by J Griffin on Dec. 10, 2015, 6:14 p.m. (2 days ago) |
| I'm with a small animation/vfx studio and we're trying to find a project managment solution to succeed Google Sheets. We have about 15 artists at the moment and during heavy production we'll ramp up to around 30. Main softwares are Maya, Nuke, After Effects, Flash, Photoshop and we only have Macintosh workstations in-house if that makes a difference. We looked at Shotgun but the cost was prohbitive at the time, though that may have changed with the recent price drop. I'm currently evaluating ftrack, which seems to be the next most popular option after Shotgun and I'm curious about NIM but won't have a chance to test it out until after the holidays. Our primary needs are pretty basic... Tracking and easy access to a shot through the production pipe and elegantly handling versions, notes and reviews (internal and with clients). We already have tools and proceedures in place for budgeting and time tracking. And while the integrations with Maya & Nuke are super cool and I'd love to play with 'em, those aren't a must-have at the moment. I would love to hear about your experiences (good or bad) with the above solutions, or with any other project manager you've worked with. I'm very new to the sysadmin/pipeline area of the business and am simply trying to understand what our options are so if you have a recommendation, please let me know. Thanks! -J | |

Virtualization recipe? |
| posted by J Bills on Dec. 10, 2015, 7:35 p.m. (2 days ago) |
| Hi - tasked with expanding a computer lab for a school to accommodate an influx of new students into a program we're expanding, and we want to play around with virtualizing seats on a beastly server we have access to. My guess is it'd make adding 20-30 seats a breeze if we can get it working smoothly!
I've not done much of this and am starting to wrap my head around how best to tackle it. But assuming that the students will be working on "reasonable" laptop level hardware on the user side, what would you all recommend or what have you had success with? I know there are lots of variables, but here's the highlights and I can provide more info as necessary - We're mostly going to be in a coding environment (visual studio, etc) but the kicker is we'll need Unity to also play nice in this virtualized setup. Will be virtualizing Windows 10's on a Linux server - it's early and exact flavor yet to be decided. Playing around with Virtualbox on Ubuntu now but up for suggestions. Server is a beast - it's one of the Boxiron 4 CPU 60 core jobs with 1.5TB of RAM (!!) One question I'll need to address soon is how the graphics card factors into this. Unsure of what all (if any) GPU requirements Unity has - website only mentions DX9, so that seems promising. I also bumped into the Nvidia Grid cards while doing some cursory google searches - that might be interesting. Target is supporting about 20 users over gigabit. Thanks in advance for any tips or roads to start going down. Seems to be no shortage of options to start playing with. RDP? VLC? Anydesk? What do you think, SSA'ers?

| Hi - tasked with expanding a computer lab for a school to accommodate an influx of new students into a program we're expanding, and we want to play around with virtualizing seats on a beastly server we have access to. My guess is it'd make adding 20-30 seats a breeze if we can get it working smoothly!
I've not done much of this and am starting to wrap my head around how best to tackle it. But assuming that the students will be working on "reasonable" laptop level hardware on the user side, what would you all recommend or what have you had success with? I know there are lots of variables, but here's the highlights and I can provide more info as necessary - We're mostly going to be in a coding environment (visual studio, etc) but the kicker is we'll need Unity to also play nice in this virtualized setup. Will be virtualizing Windows 10's on a Linux server - it's early and exact flavor yet to be decided. Playing around with Virtualbox on Ubuntu now but up for suggestions. Server is a beast - it's one of the Boxiron 4 CPU 60 core jobs with 1.5TB of RAM (!!) One question I'll need to address soon is how the graphics card factors into this. Unsure of what all (if any) GPU requirements Unity has - website only mentions DX9, so that seems promising. I also bumped into the Nvidia Grid cards while doing some cursory google searches - that might be interesting. Target is supporting about 20 users over gigabit. Thanks in advance for any tips or roads to start going down. Seems to be no shortage of options to start playing with. RDP? VLC? Anydesk? What do you think, SSA'ers?

USB Voltmeter |
| posted by Bill Heiden on Dec. 14, 2015, 3:56 a.m. (1 day ago) |
| Was wondering if anyone knows of usb based volt meter? It needs to be able have both a USB input and output. The idea is to be able to read the voltage from an USB type-C input and pass that info back to an OS X machine via USB. A Windows solution would be fine, but OS X is preferred. Thanks in advance. | |

Best edit/color/etc. room switchable KVM/extender
option? |

| Don't feel that IP based systems (especially PCoIP) are good enough because of lag, compression, artifacts, or other issues. Am I wrong in this assumption, is there a great solution for that?
Have about 12-15 workstations and 12+ end points, some screening/color rooms, some regular desks, want people to be able to move and switch easily so their work follows them. Great if there's also linked video switching (HDMI 2.0 would be fine).
Don't want to run into limitations if I needed bigger than 1920X1200 dual monitors. Nor with the control panels, nor with the Wacoms, and maybe even want Cintiq supported.
IHSE has some really interesting looking options, anybody have experience? Is there anything similar for a third the price out there? ;o)
