Re: [Avid-L2] Need ISIS experience...recommendations?

 

Mike, I'm not in NY. What you describe is not necessarily a bad idea but before you decide to work for low or no pay, here's something to consider. From the editor's perspective, straight ISIS acts pretty much like any of the previous Avid Unity products and a lot like other shared storage. Unless you're doing administration or maintenance, there's not much to learn. ISIS/Interplay has more for the editor / assistant editor to learn so trading some of your time for hands on experience might make more sense. Again, the people who really need to learn Interplay are the administrators and maintenance people. You know what your time is worth. Make sure you're getting a decent value before you trade it. Good luck. --J.B.

Looking for experience more than a rate so low-pay is not an issue.

[Avid-L2] Need ISIS experience...recommendations?

 

The facility I work at has a Terrablock backbone to support edit and graphic workstations. I would like to expand my experience into working with ISIS infrastructure. Can anyone recommend / know of a facility in NY that may be looking for a part-time or overnight media manager, assistant editor, or any other position that would contain ISIS experience. Looking for experience more than a rate so low-pay is not an issue.

Re: [Avid-L2] My take on NAB

 


But isn't that one of the issues, Jeff?
They never did a Baby ISIS, even thouh I think a lot of those products could be of interest to way more people if they were available in a smaller form, for a smaller price.

Re: [Avid-L2] OT - Online viewing Services on Local PC

 

You might find interesting resource space (resourcespace.com) an open source Digital Asset Manager originally created for images that now can handle video as well.
The easiest way to install it is on a Ubuntu Linux Box.
This option is not plug and play, you will need to customize it to you're needs, but it's very powerful.

We are using Crush FTP.. pretty cheap, from a couple of hundred dollars up depending on a few options. Very customisable All GUI so easy to set up.. Works on anything Win/Mac/linux .. We have ours on an ex avid 8400.. The benefits are we control it completely and we can have as much storage as we like for no more money

Nige,

Just out of curiosity what FTP server setup are you using? Are you using something like the standard ftp services within linux/mac? Or are you using one of the packages that I've seen that try to take a lot of the separate services and tie them in to one?

 

We use cloud based for clients - but I still like FTP for SOME transfers. 

 

(I am just running proftpd on a linux box with a GUI to make my life a little easier)

 

If it's more appropriate off-list I'm happy to discuss there.

Hi there

 

We'd like to have an online viewing approval site similar to lots of the online offerings but hosted on a local PC . Now internet speeds are so fast there is actually very little need for this to be a cloud service for us and in fact the cloud services are more expensive and slower than we could do it locally. But while there are lots of relatively cheap and very comprehensive FTP server products to host locally there seem to be no similar things for approval sites. Anyone found anything and using it successfully.

Check out the Nexto DI products

Lots of advantages to a standalone unit for fast reliable in the field transfers.
Dangling hard drives off laptops while on the run... less great.
