    Premiere server max download speed?

    Hi Mike, I had a chance to check one of my Premiere systems and found that that my downloads are much faster on this system. 112 Mbps was the lowest recently, and 160 Mbps was the fastest. Average is in the 135 Mbps range,. This system is connected to a Comcast 1.25 Gig service, I use...

    How to make a more reliable network connection

    Totally rude!! 🤣 🤣 Yes, understood that, I was using my general term for a drive moving toward failure and showing playback issues similar to those described in this thread. I'm sure I've had at least half a dozen clients over the years that reported "difficulty reading...." that ended up...

    How to make a more reliable network connection

    While the cause is usually related to something in the LAN chain (cable. switch, bad port, etc.), don't rule out a failing drive. The symptoms are the same when read/write errors on a drive start getting close to the failed threshold. After all local troubleshooting is completed, if the...

    Set adjustable delay before movie starts (for Trinnov owners)

    I agree with the earlier suggestion regarding having an option to set delays in the settings, in this way it doesn't have a negative (opposite) affect on non-Trinnov owners (probably 99% of K owners), but not sure how easy that is to implement. Jim

    OFF-TOPIC RIP Roger Corman

    Interesting and long life. He was a bigger part of Hollywood than most people realize. Jim

    Last movie watched

    Ha! No reason for that, life is a series of experiences, some more interesting than others. I grew up very poor. I thought I had nothing of value as a child. My Mother raised 6 children by herself, the only thing she could give us that she thought might help educate us with a set...

    Last movie watched

    Zatoichi is a very entertaining series, one of my favorites! Yojimbo and Sanjuro are favorites as well. I was lucky to have been able to grab a few Kendo lessons from Yoshio Sugino, especially because by that time (mid-1970's) he was already approaching 70 years old. I'd been studying...

    Set adjustable delay before movie starts (for Trinnov owners)

    Will probably hold a piece of cardboard in front of the camera lens until they hear the audio...... Jim

    OFF-TOPIC Sony TV's for 2024

    Obviously wait for professional reviews, but having seen the Bravia 9 myself, I placed orders for my own home as soon as the Bravia 9's showed up on my Sony ordering site (TD). The additional light is immediately noticeable, as was the improvement in viewing angle. The picture was...

    WANTED: If your're NOT a Premium member, post any "WANTED" items here. (Premium members can make their own "Wanted" post at the main Marketplace forum)

    The "Grandfathered" status attaches to the Server (Cinema One), not your account. All you need to do before selling is to reset back to DHCP (if you used a fixed IP address), and delete the stored content. The person you sell to will still be able to use the Grandfathered status for...

    Concerned about the longevity of the Server.

    Full sized Terra servers (not the compacts) have field replaceable drives, and replacement drives can be purchased from K if OOW (obviously in-warranty drive failures are replaced at no cost). Compact Terra server drives are NOT field replaceable, they must be returned to K for drive...
