Content Creation

All of Ciprico’s products are designed with high performance digital media applications in mind.
Whether in animation, editing, or graphics, if the need is for maximum bandwidth at the desktop, the MediaVault disk arrays are the ideal tool for recording or playback of uncompressed (or compressed) SD and HD resolution video content. With both U320 SCSI and 4Gbit Fibre Channel versions of the MediaVault product available, there is the flexibility of choosing to keep the storage at the desktop or moving it from the desktop to a networked (SAN) configuration, thus providing the means to streamline the content workflow all the way from capture through processing to playback.

As the volume of these created digital media assets grows, the need for scalable, reliable, protected storage becomes more relevant, so the expandability and RAID 6 features of the MediaVault systems are necessary components for creating a secure online archive. Beginning with a single 4Gb 4110 model attached to a dedicated server and daisy chaining units progressively as capacity demands, the cost and security of archive data can be successfully managed.

Working in tandem with MediaVault systems, our flexible, scaleable, and platform / application independent DiMeda™ products provide collaborative workflow enhancement, allowing the option of network-based editing, rendering and compositing of low resolution content, at the same time being a central repository or scratch space for higher resolution clips produced and stored locally on the MediaVaults attached to the edit stations.
