We are planning on getting some CalDigit VRs so that we can edit a project in HD (DNx145 or 220) and put the drive away in a firebox upon completion for when the project comes back as a ghost as they often do. Is anyone else using VR arrays? How many streams...

I have tried multiple separate sequences...
