[Avid-L2] Re: External Drive for media w/ MacBook Pro

 

Tour de France 2000. The last time ESPN covered this event. Sony 910 controller, Sony 8000 (can't remember exact model-one of the big ones) switcher, with built in DME, I think a Sony mixer, 4 PAL DBetas and a couple of Beta SPs) This room also doubled as a control room so along with cutting teases and the daily half hour show, sometimes I'd TD (vision mix across the pond) if we went live. I believe that was the last time. I had bought my Symphony 2 years earlier and convinced ESPN to start using it at X Games. I was an island among 6 linear bays there until they started getting more non linear stuff on site (including 3 DSs which were early versions back then.) That was also, sadly, the last time that a Symphony could get basically the same rental rate as a linear room on the road (I had Blue Ice, I could do anything they could do-rendering on my NT machine aside). There were many different linear configurations leading up to this but this was the last.
