I'd hate to have to administer 10,000 servers, even if they WERE all in one building: cbs.marketwatch.com

Thanks Qwik. My thoughts were running along these lines: the video camera will talk directory to the DV tape (using Jini), and will be coordinated by the server via a SunRay. Then, when you want to get into production/post-production, the server will tell the DV tape to edit the media, and send anything that needs digital processing either to a local DSP (Jini again) or back to the server (who will send it to its local DSP (Jini again)) device, eventually burning a DVD disk (either on your local DVD burner (Jini)) or on the stack of DVD burners down at Kinkos (Jini again)). Who then needs a PC? Jini can do it all, and no configuration or setup required, and all you need to coordinate them is a SunRay. P.
