High-Performance Pro Storage The Fusion D800TBR5 8-drive RAID 5 desktop storage system featuring Thunderbolt™ technology includes a high-performance internal RAID controller that supports RAID 5 for great performance and file protection in case of a single drive failure, and JBOD for maximum flexibility. Drive configuration is managed through a simple-to-use application. Fusion D800TBR5 delivers fantastic performance, achieving data transfers up to 800 MB/s read and 730 MB/s write. Enhanced with a large cache and latency management technology, this system is fast enough to handle a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit 1080 4:4:4 HD, or multiple streams of ProRes 422, uncompressed 8-bit 1080 HD, DV, HDV, and DVCPRO video. Support daisy chaining of up to six devices to a single port on the host computer.

The Let's figure out how to make a ViDock thread has produced a PE4L and a x2/x4-link capable PE4H product, either of which can host a PCIe RAID, soundcard or a desktop video card. This thread is dedicated to the practical application of these products to attach a desktop e xternal G raphics P rocessing U nit to a notebook via a expresscard, mPCIe slot, or Thunderbolt port. Ideally, this thread is a place for users to share installation and performance details for others to duplicate or reference. A compact US$200 12V/120W HD5750 kit was tested on a 14" T6600-2.2 Inspiron 1440 and a ATX PSU driven US$297 GTX560Ti kit was tested on a 12.5" i5-2540M 2.6 HP Elitebook 2560P here .
DIY eGPU experiences
NBR is certainly has a lot on the subject of the eGPU, almost too much to handle really Namelessplayer: I tried Crysis, on the 2730p alone it was unplayable even at lowest settings (actually just navigating the menu when pausing the game was agonizing); but with the DIY ViDock displaying to the internal screen it handles all Medium settings pretty well (that was the 'recommended settings' by the game's auto detect. There were some drop outs, but nothing to major, though it wasn't 'smooth as butter'; I didn't check frame rates, because I don't know of a way to besides a program that will drop 10-30fps from just running it; I'll have to look into the Crysis benchmark program later on).

External Thunderbolt graphics card for Macs will not blow you away | ExtremeTech
Last week, as the result of a straw poll on Facebook, Village Instruments agreed to begin development of an external Thunderbolt-connected graphics card enclosure. Village Instruments already has experience with its ExpressCard-connected ViDock graphics card chassis, which provides extra GPU juice for Windows and Mac laptops, and the Thunderbolt version is expected to be the same kind of thing — but faster. This would be a Mac-exclusive until 2012 when Thunderbolt ports begin to appear in Windows-powered PCs. A ViDock is simply an external case with enough space for a full-length, two-slot-high graphics card — or eGPU — and a convenient two-port USB hub. The current top-of-the-range ViDock 4 Plus provides up to 225 watts and two six-pin connectors — enough to power an Nvidia GTX 560 — and presumably the upcoming Thunderbolt equivalent will provide the same wattage or even more.

Video Space Calculator - Digital Rebellion
This tool is intended to give an indication of the amount of space a given video format will take up on disk. The actual space taken up may differ slightly due to embedded audio, differing frame sizes and aspect ratios, and inter-frame compression / pulldown. Note: VBR codecs adjust the data rate based on the source footage so the file sizes listed are a result of the maximum or target data rates. Actual data sizes will be 5-10% lower for VBR codecs.

Create A Non-Existing Man Via Light Painting [Not For The Faint Of Heart] | DIYPhotography.net
We have shown screen doing 3D extrusion before using both iPads and iPhones , but this is the first time we are featuring a tutorial that uses a 30" monitor . Photographer Zeke Adam ( Flickr ) agreed to share the secrets behind his non-existing man series, which basically light paints a non existing man. Duh...
First off let me start by saying, ‘I Hate iPads’. I think they are a gimmick, pretty much a useless piece of technology and a massive waste of hard earned cash brought to you of course, by the gimmick masters at MAC. There! Now that’s out of the way, we have this; an interesting new use of old techniques brought to you by ‘Dentsu London’, who are some sort of advertising agency.
