LAS VEGAS – Boston-based EditShare (www.editshare.com) unveiled a new product line at NAB featuring turnkey solutions for managing and storing media from acquisition to archive. Complete Collaboration includes EditShare Flow, EditShare Storage Series, EditShare XStream Series and EditShare Ark.
The Flow series is available in two packages – Flow Ingest and Flow Browse – that integrate with the EditShare Storage, XStream and Ark solutions. Flow Ingest captures in just about any format and simultaneously outputs to just about any format including Apple, Avid and low-rez proxy formats. No transcoding is required and files are immediately available. Flow Browse simplifies and accelerates media searches within the EditShare storage environment. Users can quickly locate media among hundreds of thousands of clips. The solution supports proxy viewing outside the nonlinear editing application for optimal viewing on the EditShare Media Space, annotation of metadata forms, and the ability to drag and drop media into an Avid or Final Cut Pro bin.
The EditShare Storage Series includes the EditShare Field mobile storage solution, EditShare Metro for small to mid-size editing workgroups and EditShare scalable Rack Units. In addition to the Apple and Avid project sharing capabilities, the storage series offers automated diagnostic tools and efficient back office data processing policies and administration.
The EditShare XStream Series is designed to support high performance post and broadcast environments. XStream can process media at data rates of 300MB per second per stream, supporting up to 52 streams of DV50 and multiple 1080p 4:4:4 HD projects/streams. This makes it suitable for post facilities working with Digital Intermediary (DI) 2K projects as well as television stations with large numbers of simultaneous users accessing central storage or employing concurrent workflows.
Finally, EditShare Ark provides integrated solutions for backups, mirroring, and archiving. These security features let users economically organize and manage media in a variety of scenarios, including LTO-backup and “spinning disc” solutions.
The company plans to ship the new product line in late Q2 2008.
