Mini Mac for Pro Editing

You say you're looking for the cheapest editing system you can get and still cut 1080 HD video?  Check out this Guatemala Edit System.


It uses the  The Mac Mini.  These things start at $599 and can have dual core i7 chips,  8 GB of RAM and have the new Thunderbolt I/O ports.

Thuderbolt features two 10 Gbps channels of data transfer.  That's 12X faster than FireWire 800 and 20X faster than USB 2.0.


You can daisy chain six peripherals thru Thunderbolt including an Apple Thunderbolt display.  And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, Mini DisplayPort devices plug right in.  Plus, the Mac Mini has a HDMI port.


My first edit bay cost $250,000 and if I made a dub, I could do a dissolve.  Now, you can have an edit system with 100,000 times the power for the price of a case of D2 tape stock.
