Dear list,
I'm considering using the current promotion to upgrade to an ISIS 5000 (from Lanshare EX3 Fibre) and am wondering about connection speeds.
99% of my work is offline editorial in DNxHD36 or DNxHD115, with up to 100 hours of footage for a project. So a 16TB model would likely accomodate that rather easily (100 hours of DNxHD175 is around 7.5TB). I occasionally do some TV work where I work in DNxHD185 all the time (I usually work from single internal SATA drives for that, not from the Lanshare).
My VAR suggested two options:
1. connect my main system dual-1G to two of the 1G ports on the base model, connect two other systems over single 1G
2. add the optional 10G port to the ISIS crate, add a 10G card to my main system, and connect the other two systems over dual-1G.
The Q is whether in your collective opinions it would be wiser to spring for the extra cash to add a 10G connection option.
Also, since I'm used to working with Fibre on the Lanshare, would the switch to 1G ethernet feel as a slowdown? Does dual-1G make much of a difference for general editing, or is it more relevant when it comes to copying speeds?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to offer.
Job
