Why do I need to move a non-woven platform

Faster mobile CPUs, laptop extensions, and portable hard disk arrays enable us to tailor our own mobile non-woven platforms to our needs.

One, why need to move non-woven platform

The concept of mobile non-woven is not limited to products that can be completely dependent on battery power and can work anywhere, in fact we can interpret mobile non-woven as performance and traditional non-programmed workstation proximity, portability, and rapid deployment capabilities of video clips, storage systems.

The popularity of small high-definition cameras and the maturity of a non-disruptive storage media program have made it possible to make more efficient workflows, as well as confusing users who have become accustomed to using tape and VCR uploads. By introducing any new technology, we must be able to increase productivity and reduce costs, rather than create new technical problems and security risks. When we have a more powerful color reduction, low illuminance performance of a better camera, how to play its characteristics, these advantages from the previous filming has been maintained to post-production, which requires us to design a new set of workflow.

Second, the role of mobile non-woven in the early filming

High-definition quality programs in the environment, must have excellent color performance, the introduction of mobile non-woven purposes in addition to improving the efficiency of program production, more important is to be prepared for a more reasonable color management program, but also for the process of no belt to provide more appropriate security material upload, backup programs.

Whether the film, RED one or high-definition camera, the overall visual sense of the determining factor is the lighting of each scene, in order to be able to provide adequate space for the later color adjustment, must start from the exposure to consider the final results. Later color matching is not possible to replace the cloth light, so in the early filming process to the quality of the material to do well, is a smooth entry into the production of a strong guarantee. It is important to note that the filming process is related to the color of the inspection and adjustment, is mainly to check the color quality of the material can meet the production requirements, and compare the different scenes of the color feeling is consistent, here color check can not replace the later perfect role process.

High-end notebook performance gradually improved, its performance has gradually to the mid-range configuration of the desktop is not close, its own difficult to solve the storage and signal output monitor the problem. However, with the continuous reduction of the entry-level RAID system with the E-sata interface and the appearance of an external interface box based on the Expresscard/34 interface and FireWire800 interface, some solutions are provided. In addition, many of the current production teams using red One are copying the footage to the hard drive of the notebook computer with a bit more caution, and then copying it to two removable hard drives, either USB2.0 or FireWire. This is not appropriate in itself, the notebook hard disk itself is not safe, separately backup USB connected hard disk is a time-consuming task.

Our choice of system consists of an Apple 17-inch MacBook Pro notebook and a strong oxygen HD 03 disk array, because Apple's final cut Studio 3 includes final cut Pro 7 non-woven software. also has the independent color school color software, may examine the material the color quality in the prophase. The 17-inch MacBook Pro hardware is configured with a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB memory, 500GB internal hard drive. Apple along with the new version of the software introduced a new coding format ProRes 4444, ProRes 422 (LT), ProRes 422 (Proxy), the three different code flow encoder for the work provides a higher degree of flexibility, the lowest code flow of the Rrores Proxy is very suitable for the use of notebook editing agent files, and ProRes 422 (LT) can be used for direct editing of news programs, the last ProRes 4444 is for high-end program preparation for high code stream coding format, the maximum retention of image information for later color correction to leave enough space. The fit300e disk array is a rare, three-disk-disk array designed for mobile work, with convenient hard disk plug design, and supporting the air box, in the transport process can be removed from the disk rack storage in the air box in the earthquake-proof compartment, to ensure the safety of the material. Three-disc

Designed to take into account the usefulness of the disk array and portability, is ideal for RAID 5, although the capacity of the loss, but to ensure speed and security.

Since fit300e uses the E-sata interface, and the MacBook Pro has only the FireWire800 interface, the EXPRESSCARD/34 card is required to extend the notebook's interface, which theoretically affects the transmission rate. However, the results of software testing are still twice times the speed of the built-in hard drive, for the non-band workflow, the use of this type of disk array backup material is undoubtedly more convenient than using multiple removable drives. The Raid 5 array does not back up the stored data, but instead stores the data and the corresponding parity information on each disk that makes up the RAID5, and the parity information and corresponding data are stored on separate disks. For fit300e This hardware-built RAID system, if a hard drive is damaged, the entire system reads and writes without any impact, simply replace a new hard disk, the RAID system will use the remaining data and the corresponding parity information to restore the corrupted data. During the entire data recovery process, the system can still operate normally.

After testing, the material into a ProRes4444 for editing, whether the speed of transcoding or editing speed can meet the general needs. In addition, it is perfectly fine to send the ProRes 4444 footage from the timeline to the color to be processed.

The camera's belt-free improves the reliability of the equipment and saves a lot of material upload space, however, if we do not have a reasonable workflow and the corresponding equipment, these advantages will be difficult to reflect, but with the notebook hardware products, non-software updates, as well as the design of mobile work storage, IO equipment to improve, We can completely according to their own needs to configure a mobile for their own projects, design a more reasonable work flow without the belt.
