    Excellent tutorial! thanks for the info. I will be setting up a 6 station MacPro Qmaster Render Farm and your video helps TREMENDOUSLY!

    Glad you found it useful. You realize that is like tech porn. I wish I could be there. I take it you will be using an Ethernet HUB.

    Hey Andy,

    very cool tutorial and extremely useful.
    Do you have any experience with sharing over a wireless network? Or would that be too slow?
    In my office there is like 6 MacBooks on a wifi network - would encoding be faster if I used them as a cluster?
    And what happens if one of the computers go offline?

    I’ve never used it on a wifi network…you challenge me, I accept. That would be very cool to see if you can do it via wifi. If one computer goes offline you have to do it all over again.

    I know I mistakenly unhooked my laptop for a bathroom break and I had to redo the encode. Even after my laptop finished it’s job in the qmaster.
