NAS for video streaming and personal data storage - Enquiries - 09-29-2024
I am a surgeon in the US, and a big part of my job is teaching residents. I built a fairly elaborate 6k video rig for capturing high quality surgical videos for teaching. I plan to record dozens of videos, ranging from 1 to 10 hours each (at my bitrate, 8 hours is ~1TB). I need to store both unedited footage and edited/cropped/downsized footage, with the latter being relatively small files. I would like to have those smaller (4k) videos available for residents to stream on an app like Plex or Jellyfin. While I will have informed consent from patients for public display, and there will be no identifying information in the videos, I would naturally want storage and access to be as secure as possible. I am thinking of the QNAP TS-473a with an added GTX 1650 GPU, or the TVS-h474? My computer is a MacBook M2 Pro. I don’t need to edit from the NAS, so I don’t think I need 10GbE? Thank you!
