So what's the final answer on replacing QT7?

posted by Jeremy Lang on Aug. 2, 2017, 3:40 p.m.

QuickTime 7 Pro's ever more useless on Windows, but now even Macs are refusing to use it properly (forced to run Sierra by latest purchases...). But we have a lot of integration with our tools and database... (And I guess the latest Mac version is much disliked.) What is the best option to go to? Being able to read things like DNxHD encoded QTs would be good. Working equally well on PC and Mac would too... ______________ Jeremy M. Lang it4vfx

Isilon NFS question.

posted by Greg Whynott on Aug. 4, 2017, 11:25 a.m. (1 day ago)

With OneFS, does the /ifs root directory need to be exported? Can I remove that export without causing issues for the sub mounts of it? eg. /ifs is exported. /ifs/project is also a defined export. if I remove the /ifs export (default) will /ifs/project still be good? I see it was exported here and I'm thinking that may not be ideal. Just opened a ticket with Isilon a second ago asking same thing, its a race! lol thanks much and have a great weekend! greg ps don't buy nexenta.

SSD shortage?

I just got told by two different vendors it'll be awhile before they can ship me any power protected SSD drives, one of them said 93 day ETA!! did another factory burn down or something? SSDs do more giga bitcoin hashes than GPUs? :)

Looking for recommendations to calibrate and standarize computer monitors (only) for a mid size vfx facility. The idea is to have them all looking pretty much the same, nothing fancy. Any advice?  I've looked into Calman solutions, and looks good for an entry point type of thing. What's everybody using out there? What are your thoughts and recomendations? Thanks!

The move from HD to 4K/UHD, 8K & HDR not only shows the need for absolute bandwidth, but also shows the inability of the current proprietary technology (SDI) & traditional Fibre Channel storage to deliver. Driven by their need to have the underlying hardware innovate at their speed, the media & entertainment industry is now transitioning to a converged Ethernet fabric for both their application and the storage, an open standard that has been powering the datacenters for decades.

posted by Eric Gerds on Aug. 15, 2017, 3:14 p.m.

Just did a massive 40tb copy from one storage array to another.  But due to the original system being an active production server, some files were open and skipped during the copy.   I need to do a fast compare between the two drive to see what got missed.  Does anyone have any recommendations for the best software to do this? If the software can copy over the missing files, even better.   Thanks.

Teradici "Alta" update

posted by Jean-Francois Panisset on Aug. 17, 2017, 6 p.m.

From: https://www.teradici.com/pricing What happened to the Alta PCoIP Zero Client that was announced earlier? Teradici has received input from end customers and partners who continue to enjoy the simplicity, performance and security of Tera2 based Zero Clients. As a result, we have decided not to introduce the Alta Zero Client and instead focus on enhancing the feature set of the existing Tera2 Zero Clients that millions of users around the world are using. We will be introducing new features like 4K UHD, additional smart card support and more on Tera2 Zero Clients. While we work on defining our future endpoint roadmap, be assured that we will continue to invest in Tera2 Zero Clients as part of the Desktop Access bundle. === Having trouble parsing what that means. Does anyone have a contact at Teradici that one might be able to speak with about roadmaps?

Interesting paper on automatic watermark removal

Might need to rethink how we watermark images/movies when we send out screeners. http://research.googleblog.com/2017/08/making-visible-watermarks-more-effective.html

Isilon Access Zones w/ a single AD? Why?

posted by Rob LaRose on Aug. 18, 2017, 10:45 a.m.

Happy Friday, SSAors. We're working through some models here to meet MPAA and other data-security/segregation requirements. Using Access Zones and treating each project team as a separate "tenant" on its own network is one avenue we're looking at, but I keep coming back to the question of whether there's any real benefit to it when (in our case) all zones will use the same AD authentication source. Applying ACLs at the share level to allow only network X to access share X accomplishes that, and the shine of Access Zones fades away for me after that's handled. Am I missing some other big benefit to Access Zones in this scenario? Welcome the thoughts of the hive mind, especially if you're using Access Zones already. --Rob -- Rob LaRose engineer |rock paper scissors 245 5th ave 23rd floor new york ny 10016| O212 255 6446

Remote solution alternatives Parsec and Paperspace

Anyone checked out parsec as a possible remote solution? Heard people are using it with paperspace as a gaming solution instead of buying expensive rigs. https://parsec.tv/technology https://www.paperspace.com -- Michael Oliver mcoliver@gmail.com PGP Public Key: https://goo.gl/a2CnHF
