i believe the limits are 26FC and 20ETH clients.
They have more to do with bandwidth management and supported switches and expansions.
Back in the day, an FC seat added to the dongle was around 800$.

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@...
