It has a CUR slot, its a DCP-2K4, we just got it new for a very good price.

Was wondering what the cheapest CUR setup was, I saw a quite cheap one that used 2.5" droves.

I am in the UK.

Depends on the server. Do you know which server they use?

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 ;-)
