We have been working with SpectSoft since 2002, before the Rave product really existed. I originally met Jason and Ramona Howard at a LinuxMovies in Berkeley shortly after I joined Tippett Studio. At that
time, we were looking at developing a new dailies system. They had developed a driver for the AJA Kona HD/SD and had developed some DDR and editing tools. We were able to form a great relationship with SpectSoft where we provided specifications and requirements to them in order to help create a system that suited our purposes. It was a win-win situation, because it helped make a better product that would be useful to others in the VFX and post-production industries.
We currently have a six Rave systems at the studio. They are used to provide dailies in our screening rooms. We also use them for smaller reviews and on-demand playback for artists in special viewing rooms. In addition, whenever we shoot with HD cameras on our stage, we use RaveHD to acquire the images and bring them on-line as individual digital frame files.
Rave is an awesome system. It has a really nice design that allows it to integrate perfectly in our dailies pipeline. They very reliable and easy to use.
