Blackmagic Design Announces Blackmagic MultiDock

Blackmagic Design Announces Blackmagic MultiDock NAB 2013, Las Vegas, USA - April 8, 2013 - Blackmagic Design today announced Blackmagic MultiDock, a new rack-based hard disk chassis with Thunderbolt technology that allows up to 4 hard disks or solid state disks to be inserted and mounted on any Thunderbolt based Mac or Windows computer. Blackmagic MultiDock will retail for US$595.

Blackmagic MultiDock will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2013 booth at #SL218.

The Blackmagic MultiDock is a rack mount hard disk dock that allows independent disks to be inserted and mounted on the user's computer. It also offers the option for multiple disks to be striped together to build an inexpensive Thunderbolt-based disk array.

With the introduction of Blackmagic Design's HyperDeck SSD recorder/players as well as the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K that all use high speed solid state disks as their media, there has been a need for a broadcast strength rack mount dock that allows multiple disks to be managed and media to be used on computers.

The new Blackmagic MultiDock features a strong metal rack mount chassis and easy to access cartridge style design on the front of the unit that enables customers to work with large amounts of media more efficiently.

The built in Thunderbolt connection gives the Blackmagic MultiDock massive data transfer speeds. Each disk dock features an independent SATA interface chip, providing customers extremely fast access and data transfers.

The Blackmagic MultiDock is a fantastic solution to managing storage in a busy broadcast or post production environment. It's fantastic when using disks independently or when striping them together as a large disk array, said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. We think the Blackmagic MultiDock is going to solve the problem of managing disks and make editing even faster!
