VideoRAID storage is ideal for any individual content creator
who requires drive redundancy to protect media assets, as well as the
combined bandwidth of multiple drives for high-bandwidth workflows.
VideoRAID products are particularly attractive because they offer fail-safe,
continuous data protection in a cost-effective solution. VideoRAID storage
will also appeal to those who want to augment shared-storage systems
by enabling an editor to work with multiple streams of local content
on their desktop, while also accessing shared content. [Note: Avid DS
Nitris can only use media from one type
of storage (local or networked) at a time. |
 |
|
| |
| Avid MediaDock Ultra320 is
supported on a multitude of Avid editing systems. It is especially recommended
for those customers who prefer the "enterprise-class" reputation
of SCSI solutions. Like VideoRAID product, MediaDock Ultra320 is great
for those who are looking for a "sneaker net" solution. See
the Avid Storage Comparison chart within the Avid Storage Systems product
brief for the list of supported editors. |

markets. The drives are also compatible with Digidesign® Pro Tools®;
