You're going to need some sort of device to manage the data. Chances are this is going to take the form of a laptop computer, although I have seen people take full work stations on set, if working with really beefy media types or formats like raw video. For most of you, a laptop will probably do the jobs. Now, ideally, that laptop is going to be fast and modern.
