Скачать или смотреть Cinelab London Streamlines Their Storage to Deliver Rapid Turnaround

In building the central storage that could support 5 film scanners, pixitmedia aligned with Cinelab’s technical partners, DFT’s Scannity Solution and ARRI Arriscan scanners, to ensure a seamless workflow. Configuring both sets of scanners to write data to a central location at maximum throughput was the first stage of removing islands of locally attached storage and inefficient manual file copying. Subsequently, DFT have gone on to recommend pixitmedia as their storage provider of choice for their Scannity scanning solutions.

pixitmedia ran extensive tests in their lab facility on the scanner’s operating system, image resolution, frame transfer rate and colour grading to prepare this solution. Integrating all of Cinelab’s hardware was no easy feat; the legacy scanners, such as the Spirit 4K Scanner, presented particular challenges since it was no longer supported or developed by the manufacturer.

The result is a system that is now entirely scalable, Cinelab London’s additional software grading and video editing tools; BlackMagic Design, Resolve, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Media Encoder are now able to all write data to a single central location. With pixstor, Cinelab London can confidently focus on their craft – facilitating productions by rapidly digitising and delivering hundreds and thousands of hours of film for the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
