Was wondering what the cheapest CUR setup was, I saw a quite cheap one that used 2.5" droves.The DCmini 2.5" drive box needs an adaptor that goes into the Doremis full size CRU slot. If you have that adaptor (cinemas usually get it for free if a distributor uses that format), it's probably the cheapest setup.The DCmini can be used on your home computer with a USB2.0 or USB3.0 interface.A full size 'classic' CRU DX115 carrier can be bought on ebay for around 60-70US$. You just pop in any 3.5" SATA hard drive.A full set including a receiving frame for a stationary computer (internal SATA and power connection) can cost 140-180US$.(careful - the images and descriptions for carrier and frame on certain offers are sometimes deceiving - keep with the CRU part numbers)Typically, a cinema will have one or more 'MoveDock' lying around. That is an external converter, where you can slot in the CRU drive carrier, and it can be connected to a computer (e.g. a notebook) through a USB or ESATA connection. It comes with a power supply to power the hard disc and interface. With the drive carrier, it makes an external USB/ESATA drive. They are used on servers without a CRU slot or when CRU/SATA ingest fails for some reason.You could e.g. buy a CRU carrier, take a movedock home for connection to your computer.There are two versions of the MoveDock available - the old type with USB2.0 and ESATA, and the later version with USB2.0/3.0 only. Depending on your connection needs, one or the other might be better suited to you.This e.g. is a good offer for a move dock with carrier:- Carsten

Might be worthwhile getting a SATA slot, USB3.0 disc, whatever. Depending on your setup, you may need an EXT driver for your system to copy the data, which may need some extra time. With most servers on current software, you could use NTFS, at least for testing. I would always recommend EXT2/3 for distribution, but if you know your testing system supports NTFS, it may be a bit faster if you are using a windows machine.
If the server at the cinema supports CRU (most do), you could buy a CRU carrier, pop in the 3.5" SATA drive and ingest from there instead of over USB2.0, that goes a lot faster.
If you know what to test, e.g. sound pops, burnt whites, you could just as well adjust the trimming to only these parts for the testing and only ingest a couple of minutes.
If only Carl would finally implement the trim in/out feature from the timeline slider ;-)
