We are having an issue with our FTP uploads to dgit.com and was wondering if any of you guys could help point me in the right direction to solving it. We’ve tried using several clients including Filezilla to do the uploads and they do complete but once completed they restart and begin uploading again. I’ve looked at the settings and can’t find anything to suggest why this occurs inside the facility, we can take the same files home and upload using Filezilla without the same repetitive restarts on uploads. Any advice on where to start looking on our systems or perhaps an issue with our ISP? Would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Craig |

| One of our clients is a large enterprise that has an extensive
polycom installation in almost all of their conference rooms. They
do scattered site meetings where multiple sites can all see a shared
screen, etc, etc. I am wondering if there is a software solution for
us to participate in those kind of conferences. I currently have no idea which exact system (s) they are using (I am working on finding out), but my question for the list is : Do polycom's typically have a bridge to skype or some other software based solution? I want to make sure I am barking up the right tree. Polycom's website is not super helpful. MD -- matt daly w 312 878 1824 m 773 294 3977 327 n

We are going to move our Edit stations (FCP/AVID/premiere) onto SSD's and was wondering if anyone had a particular SSD they prefer... ( I know - like HD's everyone has had bad and good experiences with all brands) just wanted to see if people leaned one way or another...

| Hi, Wondering if there are any Tyan or SuperMicro product gurus out there? I've a few Intel motherboards that need replacing with one capable of at least 256GB but no more than 384GB of RAM. My current Intel mobo; And the case its in, or rather what its part of; I'd need to keep the guts mainly being the Intel E5-2430 CPUs and simply swap out the mobos. The 8x16GB ECC RAM modules currently in it would be nice to keep but I doubt that a 16 slot capable mobo is in the cards. But if it is, coolio. The other requirement is 4 PCIe of which 3 need to be x8 gen 3 capable, The other can be x8 gen 2 capable. And lastly, I'd love to re use my power supplies and associated power distribution board and simply connect this new mobo. Many many thanks in advance, - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore.

Okay, I'm mostly a lurker but had an idea.? I have zero time to work on said idea, but I'm curious what others think. There has been a groundswell of support in recent years for industry standards, convergence on 3rd party apps, and general 'unification' of our pipelines across studios.? More and more code is being shared from openexr 2.0 to opensubdiv and openvdb.What if smart people like you wrote an open source license server solution designed specifically with large farm scalability in mind?? Getting all farm run apps to converge on a license server solution when cost is involved is difficult.? But if cost isn't involved... thoughts? s |

Really basic stuff here, but I'm not as versed with ultra modern-backup/archival at the moment. I guess what I'm interested in is archival, but to leave that topic alone, effectively what I'm after is; - a single-loader LTO (ideally 6, acceptable 5) that can be compatible, and properly so with 10.8 MacOSX - IDEALLY thunderbolt, acceptably SAS and the iMac this is intended for will have an external PCI cardcage over thunderbolt - ability to support using TAPES as if they were any regular old FILESYSTEM Is LTFS really want I'm interested in? Or is it all just a bit more simple than that? I won't be needing software, I effectively want 1.6tb LTO tapes to run as if they were harddrives when they're loaded in the single loader. Cheers, DY |

We are doing some Edit Suite updates here and wanted to see what people are doing for surround sound speakers / system. I am in the framing just completed so I am running cable and figured its a good time as any to upgrade to 7.1 for the future even though most of our work still only requires 2 Channel. We got a few clients who wanted to Monitor in 5.1 or 7.1 so I wanted to price out some systems if anything I will have things pre-wired for it.? Anyone use Genelec? Thanks! -Saker |

| Any one use these bad boys? Lotta hype. Seem like some TCP offload/etc... good-ness. I'm using the regular Solars. Thing is its all PCIe Gen 2. Calomel had a most fascinating write up on Gen2 vs Gen3. Key points pasted below; We highly recommend getting an interface card supporting PCIe due to
their high bandwidth and low power usage. Note, PCIe version 2.x has a
20% bandwidth overhead which PCIe version 3.x does not. PCIe 2.0
delivers 5 GT/s (GT/s is Gigatransfers per second), but employs an
8b/10b encoding scheme which results in a 20 percent overhead on the raw
bit rate. PCIe 3.0 removes the requirement for encoding and uses a
technique called "scrambling" in which "a known binary polynomial" is
applied to a data stream in a feedback topology. Because the scrambling
polynomial is known, the data can be recovered by running it through a
feedback topology using the inverse polynomial and also uses a 128b/130b
encoding scheme, reducing the overhead to approximately 1.5%, as
opposed to the 20% overhead of 8b/10b encoding used by PCIe 2.0. The actual article; Thoughts? - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore. More Grit For Less Green. |

I have 3 Centos 6.4 nodes fiber attached to a StorNext SAN. I am exporting the same volume on all three. The share is exclusive to a system called Avere which is its own cluster and mounts the NFS share I provide. I would like to get all 3 nodes in on the action but at the very least a failover would be nice. I have tried rrdns but once the system mounts a share, even if that node disappears it will wait until that node is back, does not do another dns lookup so that was a fail. Does anyone have any experiance with NFS loadbalance or failover? The wall I am running into appears to be the NFS connection once established becomes persistent. |
