I don't post here often but just had a comical request from one of my artists.
Hello, I am constantly accidentally hitting my CAPS LOCK button because Im a sloppy typist. I have always corrected this fault of mine by taking a screwdriver and prying the little fucker off the keyboard. Can I please do this here? Unless there is some magical Windows OS command that can disable it...? ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- |

Is anyone using a Davinci 10 (panel + software) in production and with client viewing on a Mac Pro (TrashCan) ? What other hardware are you running if you are? Anyone put a DecklinkStudio or SDI 4k in a Thunderbolt PCI expansion? Mac Pro 5,1 are hard to get now. HP Z800 is another option. What are others doing in this area?

sup has anyone got a crazy gluster setup going at their shop? i'm trying to configure a volume with 16 bricks split evenly and replicating between two servers. i'm finding it confusing that some of the bricks replicate between two bricks on the same server -- which is fine because there are still two copies of the data on that brick; but i'd like it if i could go brick for brick across the two. i've been playing around with the replace-brick command but i'm wondering if there's a guru out there with some tricks for specifying replica relationships? thanks -DY Dave Young NY Systems Administrator T +1 212 337 3210 The Mill451 Broadway, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10013 themill.com | themillblog.com | @millchannel | facebook.com/millchannel |

Hi, Unsure how to set the topic but its what Im trying to do. Id love to be able to see the airflow in my various server/machine rooms. Is there some kind of stuff thats not harmful to silicon etc Even something that requires a black light to see would be cool. I just need something that allows watching flow so that I can adjust stuff. And no, acid isnt thorough or accurate. I mean I can see purple and green streamers (throw in a chubby dinosaur or 2) but its irregardless of air flow :) - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore. More Grit For Less Green. |

Hi and may thanks to all that have responded, I very much appreciate it. I know it was and odd post and sorta laughed sending it but am serious about the need. The Flir stuff looks very cool, I will look into it. I thought about dry ice and even though it will be for a short duration, I am a little cautious. Im still considering though. And lastly, a set of glitter star wands is a good thought for sure. Plus I may become a star! Ill post with my findings and results. - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore. More Grit For Less Green.

Hi all, I've got an Flame array with a dropped drive. It's an older Xyratech I believe.I dug up a replacement drive (Seagate ST3300655SS) but it has the incorrect firmware. I need the AD01 or AD02 firmware (or similar) for the array to recognise it (otherwise its marked as Available/Unsupported). The system is way out of maintenance. Any tips on getting the firmware onto a replacement disk or locating a pre-loved 300GB SAS drive with the correct firmware? TIA,

Opened up one of these yesterday: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7906/dell-up3214q-review Got to say, it's an impressive amount of pixels for any set of eyeballs. Not managed to get it to 60Hz yet but that might be card or cable. The 780ti should do it on DP 1.2 Anyone else using these? Thoughts?

Nuke8v4 + AJA Kona LHe+ Driver gotcha | ||||||

Thread Tags: discuss-at-studiosysadmins | ||||||

Hopefully this helps someone ... as I saw another post from February reporting issues with Nuke and Kona cards. In our situation we couldn't get monitor preview output working with Nuke8v4 via the Kona LHe+ on Windows 7. We had installed the most recent driver - 10.5.1 by virtue of a new workstation being deployed. The Foundry support advised there was an issue and they were working with AJA to resolve. In the meantime we found that Nuke8 is compiled against the Kona LHe+ 10.4 libraries. Downgrading the driver to 10.4.1 resolved the issue for us. Page 500 (!) of the manual covers the supported cards and various limitations including how to enable monitor reference out.Look in the software archive for the AJA Hardware Driver v10.4.1 - Windows (64-bit) here: https://www.aja.com/en/products/kona-lhe-plus#support j. |

Hi All, We've 48 WD RE4 2T drives that I'd like to repurpose. Ideally, I'd like to get them into a shared SAS storage array. Something like the Dell MD3000 + 2x MD1000 (if the drives are compatible). I'm new to the shared storage thing. Does anyone know of any other potential solutions? Do any work with SATA drives? Any observations/thoughts/superstitions most welcome. Cheers, Paul |
