@Werdna12345 Год назад

Genuine question: how would an ingest server help a work flow with multiple editors? I know I’m missing something. In my mind there would only be one editor working on a single video. Why not ingest the footage directly to the respective laptop?

@happinessiskey2858 Год назад

@@Werdna12345 There are multiple reasons, here are a few that I can think of: 1. Not hogging the networking and/or PC in the editors' den when something has to be ingested. Usually the latency with ingesting that much data create long response (ping) times for those editing and basically makes you unable to edit. This has to do with storage, CPU, RAM, and networking bandwidth that contributes to this. 2. It just makes it easy. There's one place for you to go in the building/office to ingest footage. You just create a new folder for the video, and put the footage in a folder labeled 'RAW' or whatever directory scheme your company, boss, or you want to use. 3. Really only one person can work on a project at once as Adobe will give you a warning saying that the project is open somewhere else. but in case, someone's laptop crashes, gets Linus dropped, someone's chicken grease or favorite smoothie gets spilled all over it, etc. you still have the footage. MacBooks are NOT redundant and on the off chance something happens, everything is replicated (not backed up) on the server. Also, in the situation where someone was out sick or out on vacation (I think you're specifically talking about when they go to CES in LA, but all of this pretty much applies to the office as well) they could still have access to the project and not have to wait for so and so to get back so they can finish and release the video *in a timely manner*. That's the gist of it at least. Hope that helps!

@zeroa69 Год назад

@@Werdna12345 because they are going to need all that storage space to hold the raw footage before editing. assuming they are only rocking 4k and not 8k like in house main cams are. everyone is going to shoot several hours worth footage @100gb every 40min. its a lot cheaper and quicker to build this server then upgrade every labtop with the most tb they could which still wouldn't be enough. also space is a major factor since they are traveling by air no need to lug around slow external drives. this will allow them to pump out the highest quality videos as fast as possible which in return will skyrocket views during a real time event like this. effectively making more money from this trip.

@Werdna12345 Год назад

@@happinessiskey2858 @zeroa69 thanks. It didn't dawn on me that the editors will probably still be working on a video when more footage needs to be dumped. Have the server is probably handy for letting someone else look at the project file, reviewing the project, color grading, etc. There might not be 2 editors editing at the same time but there might be other people who need to look or work on it after the editing stage before export

@happinessiskey2858 Год назад

@@Werdna12345 Of course! Linus also mentioned the possibility of having a Windows rendering PC which it would help have all the projects on one central place so you aren't having to transfer files between computers all the time which can be time consuming even over 10 gig LAN (better but it's quicker to just have it in one place where anyone can go get it when they need to). Those rendering and raw (I wouldn't transfer the raw files every time with the project, I'd just keep them on the server and link them to the project which is probably what they're doing) files take up a lot of space.

@TheTechnoPilot Год назад

Hey there @LinusTechTips team, professional DIT here. Your slower offloads on Windows are likely due to the single threaded operation of Explorer (including on Windows 11) and anything using its backend, while it’s most noticeable on underworked machines, switching to either a Robocopy based offload software, or going right to the command line Robocopy command itself and using the multi thread argument will allow you to get far closure to parity of a Mac machine, especially when using base clock limited CPUs.

To anyone that says that He should have build it on the pelican case. Yes, it's a pretty fun idea, and it could be more beneficial considering it will give more room, which means there will be better airflow for the stuff inside. However, airport security can be kind of problem if you do so. Security can stop them because it's unusual to see a modified pelican case with lots of electronics inside. I'd love to see that pelican case as the server itself, but I see why they decided the other route.

@manuelsputnik Год назад

True, custom pelican cases for portable computers and electronics are usually made by the pelican case manufacturer. Not DIY solutions. Unless they really limited their space and used the foam of a pelican case without damaging/exposing the exterior; I don't think it would be timely and efficient solution unless they really planned far ahead for this trip.

@lhl Год назад

About a decade ago, I used to travel with a Pelican 1430 top loader carry-on (that could slide underseat even) as an AIO VR-capable devkit/workstation. The Pelican's polypropylene case can handle direct mounting of electronics - in my case, I used a combination of friction fitting with a single tiny 3D printed bracket and some judicious drilling and and it survived dozens of intercontinental flights and being lugged around the world without failure. The enclosure also kept it's IP67 rating when traveling - I just left the lid open when I was running it and had power and backplate aimed up so it was a breeze to plug in anywhere and didn't need any additional ventilation. I switched to an NFC S4 eventually for weight savings, but I can highly recommend the 1430 for someone looking to build a compact & portable, easy to ventilate system in a box.

I've been using that case for about a year and really like it. I swapped the front fan for the same Noctua one last week. The stock one is a bit noisy. I didn't have to dremel the fan for it to fit though... It's pretty amazing just how much fits in there. In mine, I have a Ryzen 3400G, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe (boot), 14TB HDD (storage), 1TB SSD (fast storage), Nvidia T600 GPU (NVenc) and 4K60 Pro (capture card), and a slim DVD drive too because I didn' t want the bay sitting empty. So in total, mine's only worth about $1300 for a quiet capture/streaming machine that can also do editing. Overall, I think the case could use more airflow, but the amount you can pack in there is really impressive and overall it's still on par with a lot of mini-ITX cases.

Well... I could get my 5950X run at 4.0 Ghz all-core and draw just below 90W in Cinebench (while at 4.3 Ghz is was sucking 160W, which means less than 10% performance uplift for close to twice the power consumption!), which makes it run cooler than my stock 3600X (although that one was sucking even 10W less power). The NH-L9a might actually be able to handle that after that manual tweaking. And going even a bit lower, like 3.8 Ghz, might increase the headroom for the cooler.

@@xenajin6827 Correct. The "production" solution for high core count chips in a confined build like this would be either be ECO mode on the 5950X/5900X/5**0X (still pushing it) and/or acquiring the 65W R9 5900 non-X, the later of which powers my home server at 45W ECO mode with the board used in this video.

FYI, I am currently running a 5950x with 64gb ram cooled by a noctua l9-a in an NFC S4 mini (which 100% fits in a backpack ez) and it's doing just fine. Granted it's not doing server workloads all the time, but it is both my work pc (devops and software dev, so docker containers and software compiling) and play pc (including steam vr, and AAA games). Doesn't ever go higher than ~85c. used to thermal throttle pretty bad, but dropped soc voltage and it lowered idle power consumption by nearly 20 watts and temps dropped off a cliff. I also have 2x 2TB m.2 drives in my itx board and 2x 2.5in drives on the drive bracket over the gpu, so could totally do redundant boot drives.

I’ve definitely had to pry off backplates from server boards like this. Best done by heating up using a hairdryer on low for a bit, but don’t overdo it One thing I’ll say though is that ZFS, if anything, will be /less/ susceptible and more resilient to memory errors than competing filesystems-the recommendation to use ECC with it is basically amounts to ‘look, you love your data, why screw around?’

@MikeHarris1984 Год назад

You should turn a pelican case that is small enough to be a carry on, as a computer itself. custom make SSD shelves for it, PCIe risers with custom GPU/capture card shield and maybe motherboard extensions and have it when you open the lid, you have a flat panel of I/O to hook everything up. So you open up the case, you have a flat panel of just I/O and ventilation for fans/AIO Coolers, and you plug your monitor/keyboard/mouse/power cable/etc into the ports there and even make a pushpin to sound an alarm or custom trigger a popup on the monitor and if ignored for xx seconds, force shutdown so it doesn't overheat with the lid accidentally shut.

@jlpechos Год назад

I have this board in my unRAID server. The x570 chip needs some active cooling. ASRock engineered these with the assumption you would have them in a high airflow environment. There is a 40mm fan bracket for the x570 heatsink available on thingiverse for this exact board.

@dormantat Год назад

I’ve long wanted to have a workstation in a pelicase, but was thinking more along the lines of having some sort of frame in the case to hold the components. The computer would be run with the lid open, or maybe with some filtered holes drilled in the case. After my initial excitement at this video, I was disappointed that you were just building in a computer case that fits in the pelicase for transport. The reason I want it is that I travel a lot and often just take my NUC with me and borrow a monitor, keyboard and mouse. My laptop can’t do the job because I often need to leave a machine running all the time, acquiring data for up to a month. I’m currently trying to decide between buying a faster NUC (or NUCalike) or trying to build my peliPC.

@brokawmike Год назад

LTT’s audience is fairly unaware of how legitimately shocking Apple’s growth in enterprise has been, and these M series chips coupled with *NIX have been an absolute revelation. Before, you were paying more for the same or less performance, now, performance varies from slightly slower to significantly faster, while being able to do all of your work, off of battery, for hours and hours. Being able to trade a bit of render/compile/compute/whatever horsepower to not be tethered to a desk while getting a very easy to use UNIX subsystem is a big selling point.

Given the ol' Linus approach to "creative" solutions, I'm kind of surprised the Pelican case wasn't turned into some kind of spring-loaded children's pop-up book version of a server rack as you open the case, with weirdly oversized blowymatrons pushing massive air down into the case. (So that, you know, when closed it collapses together and the case still fully protects everything.) But, you know, still cool all the same. Well ... still warmish all the same, what with that poor little case facing more heat than it was ever envisioned to suffer.
