the array is fibre channelled into the workstation,
and has certified data rates
we have the workstation's DVI (via hdmi) into a
1080p lsd tv, and want to use it for shot reviews locally
the problem with cards, is that they are either
reliant on compression (thus an unwanted extra stage in the process)
or

do you have the array local to a workstation or
is it on the network, and do you want the
playback on the data monitor or on an external one?
I think the bluefish HD cards come with a
playback utility for win/osx that does HD and 2k playback from DPX files
(as well as tga) to external monitor. You can get the HDSDI
converted into a DVI and plug it on a flatpanel. That's the way I'd go on a budget.
software-only playback from
image sequence to desktop, regardless of the storage, I
wouldnt expect this to be RT, but rather "as fast as is".
but who knows, its been a while that I looked
into all this.

hey guys, trying to find a SOFTWARE playback
system for DPX files,
that DOESN'T cache in ram, we have a HUGE
Systems 2Tb array that supports 2k realtime playback
(apparently) but no software to make it
happen!
framecycler DDS works but costs a packet due to
it being way over-specced (as i say, we ONLY want
playback)
prefereably on Linux.....
any ideas?
sorry for the OT
