Editing Bay

Mac Pro 8-core 3GHz
10GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
Stock 320GB 7,200-rpm SATA hard disk for boot/apps
2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB hard disks in software RAID-0 for scratch
CalDigit FASTA-4e eSATA card
AJA Kona LHe capture/output card
30" Apple Cinema Display
17" Panasonic BH-LT1760 broadcast monitor
Mac OS 10.5.4

Mobile Editing Station

15" MacBook Pro C2D 2.6GHz
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB
200GB Hitachi 7K200 7,200 rpm hard disk (boot/apps)
CalDigit FASTA-1ex eSATA ExpressCard

Nothing totally special about the mobile rig, but the next toy on my wish list is an AJA IO HD (Kona for a notebook!).

Software (installed on both machines): Final Cut Studio 2 with FxFactory Pro 2 plugin pack, Adobe After Effects CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Redcine/Red Alert/Crimson (workflow apps for RED footage).

I've mostly been doing work with DVCPRO-HD, HDCAM and REDCODE projects. So definitely nothing "consumer".


Hmmmm....I don't really own any cameras worth mentioning because that really isn't my thing. I'm more of a post guy.
 
Mac Pro Octo 2.8 GHz
16GB RAM

No camera any more... just sold my DVX package. Doing all post now (DVCProHD mostly). I'm gonna dump the Intensity Pro and jump up to an ioHD or MXO2 sometime, not sure when.

Kit List

I've got so much hardware that I need 2 aircraft hangers just to store the information where all the kit is. When I mobilise for a shoot I use 15 articulated lorries and 4 hovercraft, also I use so much electricity that I had to build my own power station. :)
