TJ>> When you send the RP request, the RP
machine will copy the sequence to itself and then delete it once complete
(tidying up after itself).  You will also see "RP
Sequence" in the workstation's project\exported folder while it's
being processed.

TJ>> Assuming you have the same (or faster)
pc for your RP then there should be no significant difference in
processing speed.  Do you have a Gig-E network connection for your
RP?  If not, that can slow things considerably.  Do you have a
separate machine for the DMS Broker?

TJ>> Importing what kind of graphics? 
Tiffs?  PDFs? QT?  What codec? What size?  HD or SD
sequence?

Tone :)
