AIR Studios hosts a Digidelivery GT server in-house. This is our prefered method of secure file transfer. It is faster, safer and more reliable than FTP.
You may need to install the digidelivery client on your mac or pc. This is available from http://www.asperasoft.com/downloads.
If you have an account then you will be supplied with a username and password. The hostname is always digi.airstudios.com and you can also logon to http://digi.airstudios.com to check your usage (there is NO file access available through this web page).
The server is located at AIR Studios, your files are physically
as safe as master tapes.
Unique username and password are assigned for secure access to
files.
File size unlimited but charges are based on total usage.
Site hostname: ftp.airstudios.co.uk
IMPORTANT! All mac files MUST be "stuffed" before they are transfered to the FTP server. If not file information contained within the hidden "resource fork" will be lost. This will render the files unuseable. We recommend setting the compression to "None" for audio files as time taken outweighs the size reduction.
To date the quality obtained with real-time audio over the Internet is only sufficient for low quality monitoring of a session. It is not good enough for remote recording, critical auditioning or approval purposes. In particular the quality to the USA suffers due to Internet congestion. However we have found the following systems succesful for low importance monitoring.
This is an elegant way to provide Quictime Broadcast type audio to multiple users around the world. Only we need to run the Nicecast software. The stream can be received using all popular media players: iTunes, Quicktime, Windows Media Player.
It is only in one direction so
iChat AV allows two Macs to communicate with audio and video. We can provide and setup the equipment on your Mac. It does require that you have a .mac or aol account as both parties have to connect through their services. The apple .mac account provides the greatest compatibility.
AIR Studios is connected with 100Meg fibre directly to the Sohonet Network. This enables LAN speed transfers to our peers in the Sohonet community, including: Abbey Road, De Lane Lea, Pinewood, Warners (US).
Outside of Sohonet we have a 20Meg connection to the Internet. This is in both directions so the limiting factor is usually the connection at the other end.
Ethernet access for Macs (OS9 or X) and PC in all rooms
Wireless network in canteen and office area supporting AirPort and
802.11b/g.
