EditShare , the technology leader in shared media storage and end-to-end tapeless workflow solutions, announced today the availability of Field 2, its next-generation portable shared storage solution with integrated asset management. The turnkey platform includes file ingest, advanced project sharing/bin locking, and archiving capabilities in an all-in-one, high-performance and rugged chassis. Ideal for on-location shoots, ENG trucks and remote offices, the new Field 2 is durable, light and compact, meeting the most stringent airline carry-on regulations.
With an optional integrated Flow SDI ingest card, users can record up to two channels of HD in industry-standard codecs such as XDCAM-EX35, Avid DNxHD and DVCProHD. Flows edit-while-capture capability lets users start editing the moment they begin recording ideal for ENG scenarios where time is of the essence for fast turnaround on late-breaking news stories. With an optional lightweight expansion unit, a single Field 2 configuration can scale to 32 terabytes. And using the integrated EditShare Sync Tool , users can send data from a remote location back to home base over a simple Internet VPN connection.
Field 2 Feature Highlights
Flexible Storage Options
Field 2 is available with several different 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hard drive options including 10K SAS and SSD allowing users to choose a configuration that best matches their needs, such as greatest amount of storage, highest performance, or best economy.
Impressive Performance and Stream Counts
Each four-drive set of 3.5-inch drives can support a baseline performance of eight streams of ProRes HQ or Avid DNxHD 220, or 24 streams of 25-Mbit video such as DV25 or XDCAM-EX 25. An eight-drive Field with 2.5-inch 10K SAS drives provides about a two-fold increase in performance over the baseline. An eight-drive Field with 2.5-inch SSD drives provides about a six-fold increase over the baseline.
Outstanding Reliability
Field 2 storage is built with the industrys most reliable enterprise hard disks and SSD drives and uses hardware RAID-5 or RAID-6 protection. The rugged chassis is built for easy upgrades and maintenance, with removable drive cages and a slide-out CPU tray design that allows convenient access to all components.
Cost-effective Yet Powerful Ethernet Connectivity
In 2004, EditShare pioneered the idea of in-place editing over standard gigabit Ethernet connections. Today, thousands of EditShare customers can testify to the reliability and performance of gigabit Ethernet even when playing back multi-stream effects. With Field 2, users can make direct connections between workstations and the four on-board gigabit Ethernet ports, or use a unique Linux bonding configuration to combine the bandwidth of all four Ethernet ports and connect them to a low-cost switch.
Optional 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port
With an optional 10-gigabit Ethernet card, users can connect a Field 2 system to a 10-gigabit switch for expanded client connectivity, connection to client workstations for finishing work and other high data rate editing, or to use Field 2 with other EditShare servers (XStream, Energy, Flow or Ark) on the same network.
Integrated Flow Asset Management and Ark Backup and Archiving
Every Field 2 system includes Flow for file-based ingest, cataloging, searching, simple cuts-only editing, and drag-and-drop into industry-standard NLE applications. Field 2 provides two concurrent Flow Browse licenses for Windows or Mac clients as well as one file-based ingest license. In addition, Field includes Ark software for backup or archive to qualified LTO tape libraries, available for purchase separately.
Extreme Scalability
EditShares Extreme Scalable Architecture (ESA) allows connecting multiple Field units on a single network, or connecting a Field unit to other rack-mounted EditShare servers, where they all just appear as a single storage pool.
File Level Sharing
EditShares elegant NAS technology controls locking at the file level, allowing multiple editors to write to the same volume simultaneously crucial for efficient workflows. In comparison, many SANs use volume-level locking, allowing only one user at a time to write to a volume.
Project Sharing and Bin Locking
EditShare developed and patented the first non-Avid bin locking solution to allow Avid editors to work collaboratively and safely using the same bins simultaneously. EditShare later extended the technology to support Apple Final Cut Pro , Adobe Premiere Pro and the companys own NLE, Lightworks.
Intuitive Administration Tools
Although the technology behind every EditShare system is highly complex and sophisticated, the front-end administration tools make it very easy to create user accounts and spaces for media and projects, and to then assign different user rights to the various spaces.
Dynamically Resizable Spaces
To make media management easier, content creation organizations usually want to create different spaces for different projects so that media files can be easily archived or deleted when they are no longer being used. Because EditShare spaces are just virtual volumes, enlarging or shrinking them after they have been created is as simple as a couple of clicks.
No Per-Seat License Fees
With EditShare shared storage, there are no per-seat license fees, removing barriers to productivity and providing faster return on investment.
Deletion Security Controls
EditShare Administrators can set privileges such as who can delete files and when. Deleted material can first be moved to Trash so that it is possible to Undo a deletion if a file is deleted by accident.
EditShare Field 2 Specifications
Light and compact The main Field 2 chassis is 8.25 tall x 12.75 deep x 12 wide and weighs less than 25 pounds. The Field 2 expansion unit is the same width and depth, and 4.25 tall.
