Live theatre productions (hardware&software)?

What is the best Macintosh for use in live theatre productions (sound effects, lighting control, etc)? What is the best hardware/software configuration?

Yes there are many equipment solutions out there, but if you cant afford $5000 you wont be interested in any of my suggestions:

I personally think live captures to Final Cut Pro is a disaster waiting to happen, record to tape then capture!

    Hi, planning to buy MD101, I will most be working on photoshop, playing live/audio production, occasionally render videos, mild gaming-prototype.gta4 types..my question is mac or windows? my budget stops at MD101 and no further :/

    Hey thanks for the reply
    its not like i must...but i do prefer apple for build quality and the way the os uses the hardware..
    Priority of the laptop will be:
    1- Going live with it, using softwares like ableton like or garageband to trigger samples and ambient patches with MIDI keyboard.
    2- Designing on photoshop
    3 - Occasional video rendering mostly non hd but good quality like youtube 720p
    4 - Gaming when i am bored - I am not at all into gaming but i would surely love to play some
    But i want something that will be durable/storngly built and its hardware/processor good enough to run for 3-4 years.
    Now if a laptop then which one?
    Thank you

  • Hardware/software requirements ?

    What are hardware/software requirements for cs2 ?
    Trial version can't start at my AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Dual Core 4200
    with NVidia GeForce 6100
    on Window XP (32bit),
    error message about missing function/procedure call in some dll ...

    <James, I would be happy to discuss this with you but I am on vacation with my wife this week. <br /><br />Yes, feel free to call me any time.  I would very much like to talk with you sometime.<br /><br />>I can tell you that the Intel Quad Core chips work great. Thrown in two of them and 4GB RAM and your system will fly. But one will do the trick pretty well. <br /><br />Yes, I bet it would fly with 2 Quad Cores.  My TD says he has a good deal on a quad processor for something like $350, but I have no idea if this is a good deal.  I also have no idea whether a quad will work in my motherboard, the  D955XBK.  I spent some time at Intel's site last night and it seems this bd will not handle a Quad, so this would probably mean I will have to dump my motherbd in order to get into a Quad.<br /><br />Intel has all these looney names for their processors -- CORE 2 DUO, CORE 2 QUAD, CORE 2 EXTREME, XEON -- one hardly knows what's what.       <br /><br />James<br /><br />All of the surrent chips are good enough to handle Adobe products.

  • Can anybody recommend any hardware/software to transfer vhs to dvd's?

    i was wanting to transfer several vhs tapes to dvd in decent quality.  can anbody recommend any hardware/software to transfer them without breaking the bank?

    Get an Elgato Video capture.
    http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/Video-Capture/product1.en.html
    Simple to use and works well.
    Once you have all your VHS tapes on your iMac, you can edit them with iMovie and iDVD to burn them.
    You can also use VisualHub to directly convert and burn to DVD

  • Error when downloading itunes 10.5 that says Product: Apple Software Update -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package ven

    Each time I attempt to download the new itunes 10.5 I keep getting the following error message:
    Product: Apple Software Update -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action SoftwareUpdate_UnregServer, location: C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe, command: /UnregServer
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    Any Ideas of how to solve this one?

    After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end.  Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
    1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
    2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
    iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
    Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
    Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
    Great work everyone who contributed!  Thank you very much!

  • Transport products and software component version

    Hi,
    I created a Products and its Software Component Version in System Landscape Directory of XI development.
    I imported this Software Component Version into Integration Builder and developed design and configuration objects.
    The scenario is completed and now I want to transport the Products and Software Component Version to XI Production.
    Could someone please explain the transport procedure.

    Hi Shravan,
    Thanks four your instructions. I would like to have more details on the export/import procedure. Please confirm the following steps are correct:
    From SLD of XI development:
    1/ Edit new product and its software component version.
    2/ Click on icon Export: XI generates a zip file and downloads it in c drive.
    From SLD of XI Production:
    1/ Select Import utility under system catalog.
    2/ Browse and select the zip file
    In XI production there are existing third party products, and I do not want the transport of this new product causes any problem.
    Design and configuration objects will be exported/import ed after the successful transport of product and software component version transport. 
    Regards,
    Daniel

    What are the best practices
