The G-RAID with Thunderbolt offers up to 4TB of capacity over two mirrored drives, or 8TB if configured f

 It takes well over a year to design, execute, deliver, and ensure the proper implementation of the roughly 5,000 or so assets it takes to get a CS release out the door (we’re already thinking about CS7).

This was extremely helpful in viewing and judging video output, as the Canvas window does not prov

 As I have covered in great detail in several prior articles here in ProVideo Coalition magazine, the most complete and most reliable method of connecting your critical video monitor to your computer based editing system is via a professional a/v i/o interface, like those Thunderbolt models now offered by AJA, Blackmagic, Matrox, and now even MOTU.
