G5 Xserve was recently released ...
http://www.apple.com/xserve/ 1U, 19in rack mount unit, with multi-platform compatibility (mac / win / unix) with a lot of power. Bascially, a very attractive proposition, especially for hi-rez recording and DVD post. From reports the unit is selling very well. (Sure, its price and features are aimed at medium to large enterprise.) http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/04/xs...serve/index.php For the realists: if you had one of these in yor studio, how would you - given your particular config. and work processes - make use of it? I'm very curious about how people would take advatange of its features. http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.html For the dreamers: ...do you visualize something that is a like half-step between the Mac Mini and Xserve, an upgradable 1U media server / external processor hub that keeps older model G4s in action (i.e. rather than buying a whole new computer to get the power) and is mobile and robust enough for "out of house" production projects...? What are your thoughts? |

The Great Realtime Networking Challenge...
As for Nuendo 3.0... since Yamaha have made a move on Steinberg, then Nuendo may include features that make more extensive use of Yamaha's existing hardware support for a variety of audio networking systems... [ Yamaha grab Steinberg: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/aboutus/PR/News...753&Langue_ID=7 ] And here is a list of some realtime networking solutions currently on offer... http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/pr...io_ds/index.htm An example: Cobranet is an embedded system (its got chips, but no fish) which has been used by Peter Gabriel on recent tours. Quite a few mainstream companies are jumping on this one... latencies of under 2ms over modified ethernet ain't too bad... http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/deta...tail/P1022.html Or even better... fibre optics... YES! THIS IS THE FUTURE! ![]() http://www.optocore.com/products/index.html Our Mac "Node" idea (or similar) is not too far away. Then all we need is some code to tie all this together, across 3 major platforms - not just for MAC. QUOTE This said, it's aimed to non real time operations, so with latency workarounds you can do some jobs in "real time", but the main use would be in audio some treatments, in DTP image manipulation, and 3D. I'm sure it can be pushed in the direction of things like Mathematica ![]() You're thinking Mathematica could be good as a kind of "offline" processing engine for audio? I've never seen it in action, so I'm curious about its potential. Btw, for others...Mathematica is this: http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/tour/ |
