NTEK HAS THE SECRET SAUCE ULTRAFLIX ! NOTICE

Foundation – The fundamental building blocks for post-production systems such as those offered by industry leader Harmonic are pretty standard – high-speed SSDs, high-performance/ high-capacity HDs, moderate-speed/very high-capacity HDs.
The secret sauce offered by a number of NAB exhibitors is the software, media management and high-speed system connectivity. +
NTEK HAS All three ingredients
Their new MediaGrid tiered solution allows shared post-production operations to economically expand their storage as the collaborative workflow activity grows.+
Combine that with their MAS (Media Application Server) and the disks are virtualized to save the production team time and money.+
When time, performance and money (especially money) are major concerns, the MacPro is still the weapon of choice for most of the individuals and companies visiting NAB (although Apple doesn’t exhibit at the show).+
Analysts love to say that the tablet is killing the PC, but you’ll never convince people who make their living producing content you stream and devour.+
As Brian said, “I owe you a ten-second car.”+
The new high-performance computers – used in off-hours for videogames – plus Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier Pro plus really high-capacity external HDs deliver a very economic post-production solution “almost” anyone can afford.+
At OWC’s booth, I met Andrew Disney, director of indie film “Intramural” that will be featured at this year’s Tribeca/ESPN Film Festival.+
Disney said his group chose the RED Epic because “it just delivered the dynamic 5K quality the crew wanted.”+
The movie is all about a common problem anyone who goes to college faces – graduating and dealing with an endless list of marriage, career and debt problems. The solution for the creator, Brad Jackson, was one final, grand intramural football game.+

Driven – While the content of “Intramural” that Kody Gibson finally produced was king, he also thinks the queen has to be storage because without fast, reliable storage the content would disappear.+
Disney explained that immediately after the shooting was wrapped, the content would be rushed to Koby Gibson (editor) and his team who would do the post work on an array of OWC HDs.+
+
Disney noted that in addition to the firm’s new Thunderbay, they used a lot of assorted OWC drives because RAW 5K “has a real appetite for storage.”+
+
One of the folks at RED told me that RAW 5K 12-bit video produces a whopping 2.5Gbps of content that can really test the performance of systems and storage, but the combination of GB Ethernet and Thunderbolt interfaced HDs can meet the needs for online editing now as well as next-generation 8K projects.+
Fortunately for the people who stream (and view) the ultra high definition (UHD) content, the industry has moving the H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression.+
HEVC reduces bandwidth requirements by more than 50 percent so the content will look great when it’s viewed over-the-air or IPTV/OTT. That’s important if the content industry is going to meet the entertainment demands of today’s audience.+
Comparing content delivery to racing, Dom said, “It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.”+
