  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Nexto DI Anyone?

We never erase a CF card on set after backing it up to a Nexto. I don't trust the varification and I don't trust me or the staff copying the data. It happend more than twice that a CF card was not copied to the Nexto. I don't want to bother the clapperloader/dit with data wrangling that is based on erasing media. Hence we have enough CF cards for a long shooting day. You never erased tapes nor fiilm rolls ons set. The beauty of the Nexto is that it doubles the media and collects it to a drive. This way all shots of a day can be conveniently copied later to tape and/or project raid in a meaningful environment which a film set is surely not. When all data is backed up twice and checked the CF cards are ready to be erased for the next day.

In 2-3 years solidstate media will be so cheap that many productions can afford it to buy new cards for every new project. The Nexto, however, will still be a very useful device.

Twice the Nexto told you it had copied but it actually happened? If that happened to me, i'd never use the product again.
