Meanwhile back to the regularly scheduled thread. Does anybody know if an older medianet 5 unity dongle can be upgraded to add more seats? I don't know if Avid is still offering that given they have moved on to newer storage platforms with Isis etc....
What is the max number of seats for a medianet 5. From a previous thread I had a while back I see ethernet clients are limited to 20 and it said fibre clients up to 36. Is it possible then to have a combination of both and have 56 clients? I'd bet that would become sluggish but that's just me guessing.

Why not ISIS 1000?
We are looking at getting a 3rd Unity Medianet 5 Engine to go with the 3 extra Media Arrays we have already. I was asked if 24 seats was a big deal over 18 seats. I figure having the extra seat capacity would be important. I'm now wondering what the cost per seat is for an Avid Unity Medianet 5. I assume they are sold in bundles or groups of some many seats but I'm not sure. I recall from a previous thread when I asked about Medianet 5's the fibre seat limit was 30 and the ethernet seat limit was 20. Does an ethernet seat count the same as a fibre seat. I would assume so but want to be sure I'm passing on good info.Also I would assume it would be possible to upgrade a Unity MediaNet5 dongle for more seats can someone confirm that. Given it's EOL I don't know if Avid still sells unity dongle upgrades.John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@...
