Customers can extract proxies into a separate folder for offline work.Ĭustomers can switch between camera original footage and proxies in a single click. Create a watch folder and new media is automatically converted into H.264, H.265 or Apple ProRes proxies to accelerate editing workflows. How can I determine what record size to use? We'll have many multi-gigabyte video files and many more multi-megabyte photo files but there are also a large number of small config-type files as well.The new Blackmagic Proxy Generator App automatically creates and manages proxies from camera originals. I'm not clear on what exactly 2+1 is.ĭoes file size or use case make a difference in the speed of LZ4 compression vs no compression?

How about the relative performance of RAID types? I understand the various levels of fault tolerance but how significant is the performance difference between, say, RAIDZ1 and RAIDZ2 or the "typical recommendation" of 2+1 RAIDZ? If Z1 is appreciably more performant than the others then I might be willing to accept the risk inherent in single-disk fault tolerance and compensate with more frequent backups. And is that information current? E.g., I recall reading around here that jumbo frames aren't "worth it" anymore but maybe they still are in the specific case of video editing? I'm a bit out of my depth here and not totally sure what a frame even is lol That's still an entirely reasonable concession given the price point.įYI, that link is dead but I think I found the document in question here: It's definitely a contender for small business uses as well, though I guess I start to get just a little concerned and might want to have a spare handy. I have a more detailed discussion of the thing somewhere on the forums but I'm not seeing it right now.įor a home user looking to set up a small low power lab and wanting to go all 10G, it is at the top of my list of things I'd be considering. I think the worst thing I can say about it is that the metal can is flimsier than a Netgear's. It stands up well to (and generally outshines) the SOHO and SMB Netgear stuff that I feel it is most comparable to, and I say that despite one of my businesses being a Netgear Powershift Partner. But you wouldn't expect it to be competitive with gear that cost near five figures. It is not comparable to my nice Force10 and Dell PowerConnect switchgear.


I was very impressed given the price point, it showed subtle signs that someone who actually used and deployed networking gear had had a hand in the design. I promised them only to say what I thought about the thing, bad or good. Mikrotik sent me an eval unit of their eight port unit at my request.
