And MAM At The Heart Of Workflows
Exclusive IBC 2015 "Whisper Suite" gives customers a glimpse into the future...

E

ditShare, a technology leader
in intelligent shared storage
and media management solutions,
invites production, post and broadcast
professionals to get hands-on at IBC
2015 in Amsterdam. Attendees to
the IBC show visiting EditShare will
get an exclusive look at the following
breakthrough technology and realworld workflow advancements:
Opening Doors To Enterprise
Storage Capabilities & Performance
The XStream shared storage range of
solutions enables the world's leading
creative facilities to collaborate and
deliver content on time and within
budget. From capturing media in the
most remote of locations to managing
petabytes of data for the largest media
organisations, there is an XStream
storage system for every scenario. And
XStream storage is different because
every model ships with EditShare
Flow Media Asset Management (MAM)
seamlessly integrated for a complete
media workflow platform.
XStream EFS, one of the latest
additions to the EditShare shared
storage product line, offers unmatched
performance and resiliency for
real-time workflows. A scale-out
storage solution, XStream EFS gives
mission-critical media workgroups
an open storage platform with
smart collaboration features, such
as project sharing, combined with
blazing-fast performance, multiple
levels of redundancy and tremendous
scalability.
In addition EditShare will present
XStream ST, the latest shared storage

solution designed to meet the needs
and budget of smaller production
facilities, studios and stations. With
integrated MAM and archive tools,
XStream ST provides a complete media
platform at a breakthrough price that
allows clients to focus on creativity,
not technology.
Building State-Of-The-Art
Live Productions And MultiCamera Workflows
Offering an end-to-end live and
multi-camera
studio
production
ecosystem through its Geevs live
video servers, Flow production asset
management and XStream shared
storage, EditShare powers many
of today's most-watched reality
TV, episodics and studio and live
event productions. New metadata
management
and
exceptional
workflow
automation
combined
with comprehensive codec and NLE
support reduce the complexity of
productions. The advanced hardware
admin services including Quality of
Service and contention management
ensure continuous performance even
in the most demanding production
environments.
The 4K Backbone For
Production And Post
Designed to manage productions
to 4K and beyond, the EditShare
collaborative
workflow
platform
maintains the integrity of all media
- be it ProRes 4444 XQ, Sony XAVC
or RED (.R3D) files, or "single-fileper-frame" formats such as DPX,
CinemaDNG, ARRIRAW, PNG or TIFF

Geevs live video
servers

EditShare's Flow
Media Asset
Management
(MAM) system

- throughout the entire production
pipeline.
Flow's integrated production and
automation tools let facilities tag and
index content and automate tasks such
as transcoding and media migration
from one XStream media space to
another. The new Flow Watch Folder,
distributed transcoding and FTP
delivery options alleviate the need
for dedicated third-party transcoding
and file delivery tools. And thanks
to AirFlow, remote users can access
media on an XStream shared storage
system from anywhere in the world
via the AirFlow web client. This round
trip workflow makes editorial and
review on projects outside the physical
boundaries of the facility a reality.
The final piece to make this
collaborative platform the true
backbone to any high-resolution
workflow is integration with Ark.
Editors can easily search the Flow
Database, which contains proxies for
all archived assets,
and, with a few
simple clicks, migrate
the original content
back onto the main
online
XStream
storage, regardless if
the content is stored
nearline in Ark Disk
or offline in Ark Tape.

An Integrated Foundation For
Broadcast And Newsrooms
The cornerstone of EditShare
broadcast workflows, Geevs video
servers provide highly scalable
channels of SD/HD ingest and playout
which seamlessly integrate with
enterprise-class XStream EFS storage
and Flow MAM, creating a resilient
capture and production platform to
manage growing broadcast and media
distribution needs. Support for MOS
protocol paves the way for integration
with industry newsroom systems
including Avid iNews, ENPS and
Octopus, unifying story development
with rundowns and on-air playout.
The Whisper Suite -

Previewing
future
technology,
EditShare customers are invited to
the IBC Whisper Suite, where they
will have the opportunity to take a

developments. This year the suite

advancements in remote workflows
and multisite sync tools that let

EditShare solutions within cloud-based
