Or the video post-production studio. With it's overall stability and
things like ccd offering cheap high-performance high-bandwidth
storage systems, FreeBSD would make an ideal video server platform,
as well as (in the first instance) a compute platform (or with a
small cluster, platforms) for all those icky video effects that take
so(!) long to render.
Panasonic's Smart-cart broadcast automation system, which consists of
a cabinet, tape loader robot, and a couple of VTRs and provides
everything you need for a basic cable channel or three (for a mere
$75 - $100k) uses either a Win NT or Unix (I don't know which
flavour) front end, except that the NT system doesn't have as much
functionality. :-)
