Hi, NAB is around the corner and at Workflowers and CPGP we would like to talk about our latest news: You might know our wf_x plugins for Autodesk Lustre are used by studios like Technicolor, Efilm, Cinepostproduction, Universal. We've just added a new clone feature in QuickComp. And Crisp is surely the best way to have your 4K look like 4K! They are now available on a per week or per month rental basis, as well as standalone and site licenses. Check them up there: http://www.cpgp.nu/wfx_overview/ I will drive 2 color management workshops after NAB in LA, one generic over 1 day at Roush Media in Burbank: The second one will be Autodesk Flame/Smoke/Lustre centric in the Venice office Please check the whole set of Workflowers training courses here. Some other classes will happen later this year in other spots on the globe, to be announced on the Workflowers, International Colorist Academy, Facebook, Twitter channels. OurRPS, remote production supportservice is picking up. Lately we've setup remotely the color processing for Flame and Lustre on a F55 project, checked some config on Scratch and setup a EXR workflow between Smoke on Mac and Nuke. Minimum costs, very fast, we can do a lot that way. Something our team has been working on also is MWM, it's an amazing interactive real time tool for video mapping, with unlimited number of live video inputs, outputs (each has its own independent lens distorsion) and control devices. Check it out at: http://insidinc.com Remember if you have special request for coding we are specialists in highly optimized graphics processing code using state of the art technologies for both CPU and GPU. Don't hesitate to contact us about your projects and for those who are going to NAB, let's catch up in Vegas! Cedric

media servers with GPU chassis options | ||||||

Sorta OT, but perhaps someone knows... I am looking for an embedded chassis, small and rugged, that can hold an motherboard with a full size/full power GPU. It is for the type of system that would be hanging off the back of a large monitor in a digital signage system. The problem is, those are great, but cannot hold a Quadro 5000/6000. I am considering a 1U GPU server from supermicro, but I am concerned it will be really loud, and I am not sure how well it will cool in a non-datacenter location. Something like that would also have to be mounted flush to the monitor, in this case, it would be portrait mode, so it would throwing heat downward (or I guess upward) Oh, and while I have your attention, I am also looking (a different project) for a rack mount chassis that has a built in connector strain relief, i.e., the motherboard is set within the chassis and cables can come out of the chassis in a single bundle. This is for rugged rock and roll touring use. The green hippo line of media servers has a configuration like this, sort of. Any ideas? Or I should ask - anyone have a connection to a custom chassis builder interested in small runs? MD --

Autodesk Flame 2014 SP2 | ||||||

Hi everyone, we are currently thinking of moving to Autodesk Flame 2014 SP2. How stable is it? Currently we are sticking with Flame 2013 Ext2 SP3. As most Autodesk clients we had maany problems with the 2013 release. Stability, export, speed issues. En plus last year the main vendor in Germany "dreamwalks" went bankrupt and also (from what was rumored) did some shady license things. Are you using Flame 2014 SP2 already in your facility? Is it worth the hassle/change? Or rather wait after NAB for a more stable release?

| Post NAB will give us 2015 and I doubt anymore releases of 2014. There was a posting on flame news over stability and the consensus was throw lots of memory (96GB) at the system and most stability/export issues go away. No idea if this is true as may clients I look after have not moved upto AE yet. Chris On 3 Apr 2014, at 07:26, Jathavan Sriram <sriram@harvest-postproduction.com> wrote:

Arista Switch and Congestion | ||||||

Hello everyone, we are thinking about buying a new switch for connecting our workstations (1GigE Imacs and a few 10GigE HPs). Our storage is currently connected over 10GigE to our switch. We ran into some serious TCP/IP congestion problems because of the asymmetric speeds of fast storage server vs. slow connected clients. Our switch couldn't handle the congestion situations very well and started dropping packages, which ultimately lead on imacs to have wonderful 100MByte/s writes to the server but embarassing 10MByte/s read from the server (nfs). We want to buy the Arista 7048T switch (its a Store - Forward switch). Does anyone have some experience with this switch or the brand Arista in particular? We mostly run Avids (offline editing), Nuke, After Effects from the Imac client machines. Thank you for any insight !

syncing between a NAS on a subnet and central file

Problem
network inthis office is windows based, and it's not fast enough, with bad
cabling that can't be replaced. IT has agreed to set up subnets with NAS and
switches for each studio island (essentially a group of ~10 artists working on
their own project). Is there any software that works like a cache that could sit
on the nas, but fails over to the central file server and doesn't have awful
sync issues? I really don't want these things to be silos off data that need to
be backed up. A cheaper diy version of the Avere stuff is basically what I'm
looking for.
I'm reading up on dfs-r; does this work well? Any
anecdotes? -louai |

I'm not aware of any DIY Avere like solution, beyond cachefs perhaps but that probably won't do it for you. how can a group of 10 people have a bad network which can't be replaced I"m wondering... it would cost about 100 dollars to re-cable if they are in the same general area I suspect. I wonder how can a network be so bad you are looking at adding caching solutions to it? is it thick net from the 80's or something?On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 1:04 PM, Louai Abu-Osba <me@louai.org> wrote:
