by i'm looking for advice from all of you sgi graphics experts. we're
planning to set up a video post-production facility: on-line, non-linear
editing atfirst, possibly followed by 3D animation, photo retouching and more.
we initially want beta or better broadcast quality - the closer to d1 the
better. we're looking for enough, fast storage to be comfortable: perhaps
30 to 45 minutes of broadcast quality or more
(software might be softimage digital studio elements or discreet logic flint)
what hardware configuration is right for a small company like us who are
putting everything on the line? and what might be the most cost-effective
solution, that allows for a lower investment now, but upgradation - not
obsoleescence - as we get bigger?
we like resolution-independent software as five years from now we could be
doing film (2k by 2k) work
its an open ended question - pls take the time - and trouble to answer.
our future could depend on it.
thanks!
