what model sony? if it has the sdi board its definatly a deal.

another cool thing is, if its new enough, even tho sony says its a SD monitor, since it has 800 lines, if you feed HD component down its throat. it will sync up and be awesome quality.

I'm pretty sure that one is too old to sync anything but NTSC/PAL on the component ins.
Its still a good deal for an SD SDI monitor...

I emailed him too... not sure who got in first.

lorddoomicus - if you end up getting it, and just want the graphics set, i may still want the machine if you dont... tho it would be so much cooler to have it with gfx

That is a quantel sQ edit plus system. Its a client for a bigger sQ server system.

the onboard audio isnt used at all, it has its own SDI video/audio i/o - that that machine apparantly is missing. most clients dont have i/o, most of the i/o is done from the server.

the sQ server is an amazing product. for every frame of video it has a hi res compressed image, and a low res browse quality image. regular view/edit clients work with the low res browse level media, but since all the metadata is managed in a database, it always matches to the hi res broadcast quality media.

so for example, the qrecord operator starts a feed coming in. after the first frame hits the server, the clip is immidiatly availible to all view/edit/etc clients to work with in real time. a producer can watch the feed in, subclip out the bytes then want, and publish that clip back to the server.

then somebody on the edit plus can pull up the edit, do color corrects, effects, finish the cut, whatever, and publish it back to the server. any new media created (effects, etc) go back up to the server as well. The final edit can be played out live, before the feed coming in is ever even finished.

more info here:

its an AMAZING system to work on in a fast paced news environment.

btw genQ products have a custom video board with quantel custom FPGAs, etc. this unit is just missing it. ;)

Will these work in an IR2 onyx2?
and can i mix them with my existing 2 RM7-64s, or do i have to pull the 64s altogether?

but if i have a regular IR2 pipe with the original ge14-4 and dg5-2, i could load it with 4 rm10-256s and it would work? or do i need a new GE as well?

and if i have a second pipe that is ir2, it wouldnt be effected at all right?
sorry i just got my first onyx2 - this is all pretty new to me

If your Onyx2 has the rackmount graphics module you can run two pipes <unless you have the DPLEX option installed in both, the pipes are completely separate, so you can run one IR2 and one IR3 if you like>. As long as you have the room <and RM10s at the lowest price I've ever seen>, there's a pretty significant performance boost to running an IR3 pipe with four RM10s: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16722836&p=7319524&#p7319524

Or if you want to run two IR3 pipes and Plex them, I have two spare DG5-2/DPLEX option boards with all of the connection cabling. ;)


well right now i have 1 IR2 pipe with 2 RM7-64s, and one with 2 RM7-16s
my thought would be to make the big pipe an IR3 with rrm10-256s, and move the 2 rm7-64s into the second pipe

right now they both have dg5-2s, but i have a dg5-8 on the way (luck ass bid on ebay)
if i made one ir3 and the other i2, i wouldnt be able to plex them would i?

if it still had the quantel boards, software, and dongle it would be worth buying - but as is, its a shitty supermicro pc that isnt worth the cost of shipping.
