Re: [Avid-L2] More folks are panning the 4K push... storage costs

Tony - That's like saying, if you're a truck driver, once you pay for your first tank of gas, that can be amortized over the rest of the trips you take until you trade your truck in.

There's no getting around the fact that BIGGER files have INCREASED costs. Costs for storage. Costs for stuff to drive the throughput of those files. Costs for monitoring.

I am the last one to complain about this stuff - if you want to play with the big boys, you've got to pay to have the right toys. But still - if you really want to work in 4K, it will cost a LOT more than working in 2K or HD. Will your clients pay the price?
