NAB STORAGE for creative workgroups that has complete integration with SANmp (Studio Network Solutions’ SAN management software). Local storage options are no less important for high-performance edit stations. CIPRICO’s MediaVault 5100 is the first storage solution in the digital media technology industry to utilize PCIe, delivering four times the data rate of 4Gb Fibre Channel solutions. The MediaVault 5116 (16-drive enclosure) is able to utilize the latest SAS disk drives and has been demonstrated in the lab to offer 1.4GB/s streaming performance, making it one of the first products to support two 2K video streams simultaneously. Additional high-performance storage options include the 1st Design IntelliRaid units offered by 1 BEYOND. These arrays come in a variety of SCSI and Fibre Channel configurations in sizes up to 12TB. 1 Beyond is an experienced systems integrator also known for its highperformance workstations and laptops, so be sure to check out the HD OctoFlex (an eight-processor pro video workstaA Codex Digital Portable field recorder tion) and the GoFlex317 HD, the industry’s first laptop capable of hardware RAID 5 protection with high-definitionlevel performance. One company that has always bridged the gap between VTR and server is DOREMI LABS. Though Doremi’s products can be found in many broadcast operations, they are especially favored in audio postproduction, mix-to-picture environments. Two of the new products for NAB are the NuggetPost HD video player and the V1-HD-2K High-Definition Video Server. The NuggetPost player is a standalone Sony 9-pin-compatible device that provides variable speed and frameaccurate playback of HD or SD video, including jog and shuttle capability. It features visual cue for use in ADR, Foley and mix stages and can be used in video post as a VTR replacement device that provides comprehensive file playback support and instant access. The V1-HD-2K features Dual Link HD-SDI and synchronized two-channel playback for 3-D, video-plus-key and super-widescreen applications. It records and plays SD and HD-SDI video and features high-quality JPEG 2000 video compression. The unit includes hot-swappable drives providing up to six hours of storage. DV Facilis Technology TerraBlock 24EX unique EditShare product to check out is EditShare Field — the only shared storage device that I know of specifically geared for film or TV location production. Three editors can be plugged directly into it over Gig-E, and its cube shape ideally fits into airline overhead compartments. EditShare plans to introduce two dedicated archiving solutions: a less expensive, commodity server with storage that would be designed strictly for nearline archiving, as well as a higher-performance server that could be turned into a full-fledged EditShare system by purchasing a dongle upgrade. STUDIO NETWORK SOLUTIONS will showcase the newest extension to its product family, the Ellipse Enterprise Fibre Channel HBA for Mac OS X. According to SNS, the Ellipse Enterprise Fibre Channel HBA (host bus adapter) delivers an industry breakthrough: the ability for Mac servers and workstations to reliably use the high-availability multipathing features in enterprise-class storage systems from IBM, EMC, LSI, Sun and others. Along with Ellipse Enterprise, SNS will be showcasing Evo, a shared storage solution that includes 10Gb iSCSI SAN and NAS, multiple 4Gb Fibre Channel and the ability to bridge existing storage all in one box. There will also be demonstrations of the Postmap Operating Environment, the company’s established search and asset management software 36 dv april 14, 2008 NAB Show special www.dv.com http://www.dv.com
