In Reply to: Magnetic/hard-drive vs. optical/CD: Who has made the switch? posted by Srajan Ebaen on October 30, 2005 at 08:10:47:
We built a transport that reads the CD (every last bit on it too) and stores it on hard drive. The machine runs under Linux with none of the latency issues that other computor based servers have. The output is buffered through memory so that jitter is kept to a minimum.The setup is not difficult and the hardware is cheap, yet the resulting transport/server/network is a first rate transport by highend standards. It can download off the web easily enough without security or virus problems (being Linux), simply by adding a screen, keyboard and mouse, but CD remains the main source.
We believe dedicated CD hardware will be supplanted by machines such as this.
