Folks,

I get a lot of questions about how SCRATCH systems are configured, why some things are spec'd, and general costs of these items.

I thought I would answer all the questions in one doc. Its 28 pages long and I am pretty sure it covers everything--including equipping your system for 3D stereoscopic.

You can download it here:

This is a 1.0 doc, so if you have suggestions I am happy to incorporate them into the next revision.

Cool, thanks Torrey!
 
Thanks Torrey for all the hard work it must have taken some time and it is obviously based on considerable experience in Scratch system builds. But, groan, you have forced me into the realization that I will have to migrate my 32bit system to 64bit in the not too distant future so I can move onto V5 and beyond. New chassis and mobo (with enough slots for the Red Rocket), graphics card and raid, oh and a 30 inch monitor for the upcoming scopes... yet another trip to Low Yat Plaza.
When Windows 7 and the Nvidia graphics drivers are officially made available and the anticipated Scratch V5 is released, perhaps you could update the computer/raid side of your white paper to reflect the 64bit transition and to encourage us existing Scratch owner/users to rejoin the rebellion.
Thanks again for your efforts,

Scott,

Absolutely--we'll update it when the new tech is out.

Scott!!

Nice to see you pop up here... I have quoted you several times recently on some of your thoughts on the Asian market we talked about in KL. : )

Yes, migrating to 64-bit will be a necessity to keep current. We're working on that information for the user base, and are also working with Torrey to update the doc.

Nice work, Torrey!

Is that link still working?
Can't download it anymore. =(

Thanks again. I was under the impression that Offhollywood went with Clipster for DCP.

Yes - we are in fact using Clipster 3.1 for 2K, 4K and 3D DCP creation. QUBE MASTER is also an excellent tool - we came super close to purchasing it - but Clipster offered us some other advantages that filled some holes in our pipeline.
 
Folks,

Very very cool update here.

We have converted the doc into an online tool called the Silverado SCRATCH Lab. You can build your own SCRATCH configurations here:

All prices posted, no waiting on quotes. Everything available instantaneously.

If there is anything you think its missing, please let me know. We're going to be building similar configuration tools for Mac-based RED Rocket systems as well as DIT and backup systems.
