Description

The Blackmagic Cloud Store with 320TB capacity is engineered for feature film productions needing efficient media file sharing among multiple users. It is an ideal solution for editing, color correction, audio, post-production, and visual effects work, especially with substantial 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files. This system allows all users to access files without relying on local storage, ensuring zero latency for seamless collaborative workflows.

Equipped with multiple NVMe M.2 SSDs configured in RAID 5, the Cloud Store delivers high performance and reliability. The advanced connectivity options include four 10GbE ports, which function as a network switch, alongside two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB Type-C ports. This setup not only facilitates high-speed data transfer but also supports Ethernet connectivity, allowing for versatile use across different environments.

The HDMI output presents real-time system status, including a storage map and speed graphics, enabling users to monitor performance effectively. This feature is critical for teams managing large media files during live productions or collaborative editing sessions. The design emphasizes portability and low noise, making it suitable for on-location use.

Users can easily ingest data from external drives via the USB Type-C port, which automatically loads files into the Cloud Store. Additionally, the second USB Type-C port offers a straightforward method for backing up cloud data to external disks, ensuring data protection without incurring ongoing costs. The dual power supply system further enhances reliability, allowing uninterrupted operation even in the case of a power supply failure.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store excels in multi-camera productions, allowing seamless recording of studio cameras directly into the system. Each camera can record simultaneously, providing an efficient workflow for DaVinci Resolve users. This capability is particularly important for high-quality multi-cam editing, ensuring that all media is readily available for immediate access.

In summary, the Blackmagic Cloud Store not only provides extensive storage capacity but also ensures efficient data management and real-time monitoring. Its combination of high-speed connectivity, RAID protection, and user-friendly features makes it a valuable asset for any professional audiovisual environment, streamlining workflows and enhancing collaboration.
