Yes I do know the difference. Here is a server project I'm currently
involved in. Look at the specs, and you will see it is nothing like a
PC. Your "servers" are just PCs.

Format: 4096x2048p
Colourspace: 14-bit Bayer 2:1:1
Frame Rate: 23.98 - 36 fps (4K option only)

Lord! Who's using that? I've only seen 14 bit Bayer
in telecine and rich post production houses. I take
it this is not a consumer device ;-)

Glenn.

Oh no. Strictly pro - the price hasn't been decided yet, but you will
need a mortgage.

The cameras that can take advantage of performance like this are just
starting to appear. Currently the only option is compression to tape -
hardly making the best use of the format. They will be used in the
studio, second unit and very heavily in post.

Nice, innit?
