His conclusions are that the broadcast industrys makeover into a digital replacement of its analog past, is near maturity. Gone are the whizz bang days of so much new that you could barely see half of it in a week. There was little that was really new at NAB 2001. Still, there was some great technology and creative options to be found by the silicon adventurers drawn to the silicone world of Las Vegas.

It does not pretend to be all things to all people. Does what it is supposed to with effectiveness, even with elegance. The HUGE HMV-FCR 800-M FIBRE CHANNEL MEDIA VAULT meets and exceeds all expectations, and I am known to be picky. There is a dual model and the top capacity is four Terabytes. You are forgiven if you are starting to drool. Luckily the cure is not expensive. The relation of Dollars to Gigabytes that HUGE handles is justly famous and envied. At the last NAB they had the best density per dollar I've known of, and they were playing 2K film out of three of these 4Gb drives, something no one else even approached.

It uses the wide 64 bit fast PCI-X bus and unlike consumer computers that have one PCI bus, it has three separate PCI buses. This avoids the limitations of even the fastest PCI-X buses from becoming the data path bottle neck."
