Hopefully, in several weeks we will have ours up and running. We are just beginning the process.
Once it is up, I will let the List knows just in case some are interested in trying it.

Through a web browser, it's possible to watch raw footage, place locators, open and download and comment on any other types of files that might be on Isis, and do frame accurate review and approval of sequences. It even allows the creation of very basic sequences - like selects reels - from a browser, even using a pretty crappy internet connection.

This obviously has implications for all of us. It also allows a remote Media Composer or Symphony to ingest footage on location and upload it - as either proxy or full resolution - to the Isis in another distant location. That was pretty cool to see. It allowed remote footage to be intercut seamlessly with local footage and for the MC to upload JUST the local footage used in the sequence - at full rez - in the background WHILE MC continued to edit.

But these solutions are ideal for several projects I'm working on at the moment and several that people for whom I'm consulting are having. Very impressive. Kudos to the team. BTW, Bob Russo demoed the whole thing beautifully.
