Multiple Intensities on the same machine?

PostSat Oct 20, 2018 7:34 pm

I have a lot of tapes to capture... And I mean a lot, several hundred at least. Rather than capture tapes one at a time, spending thousands of hours, I plan to use multiple decks capturing several tapes simultaneously.

What I am wondering is if it would be possible to connect multiple Intensities to the same machine, running multiple instances of Media Express to capture from multiple decks simultaneously. If not, is there a product that would allow me to capture from multiple sources simultaneously on a single machine.

Failing this, my fallback plan would be to use multiple Intensities each connected to a small, low power, mini-PC. What would be the minimum system requirements for supporting Intensity capture?

MediaExpress is not very reliable. For big ingest task you would be better with dedicated tools like eg. METUS (or Tools On Air on Mac), but this still costs quite a lot.
