RitM: Picture of the Edit Suite

Here's my share and tell for the day:

I'll use my powers of observation to tell you that it looks like a Mac G5 with a DVCam deck attached. The speakers don't look like anything special. For more info on the flavor of Final Cut Pro it's running, read the last Rain in the Mountains post.

Remember, it was shot on film but will be mastered (until $$ permits) in HD. The cost of renting an HD deck for more than a few days is prohibitive, hence the low-res edit with DVCam first. Got it?

UPDATE: Joel has issues with frame rates.
