Blackmagic Design annonce le nouveau Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini



Blackmagic Design today announced Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini a new network storage solution with the high performance of 4 M.2 flash memory in a RAID 0 configuration. With its built in 10G Ethernet, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is extremely fast so it allows multiple users to collaborate on video editing in software such as DaVinci Resolve. Plus with Dropbox sync, multiple units can be synchronized across different geographic locations. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available immediately from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide for US$2,995. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the perfect network storage solution for any use. It’s great for film and television where large media files need to be shared between multiple users for editing, Correction de couleur, audio post and VFX work. It even handles massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files. Each user gets zero latency and they don’t need to store files on their local computer. It’s the perfect solution for DaVinci Resolve.

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini features a compact rack mount design that’s very portable and whisper quiet. Internally it has an array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speed. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port operate as a 2 port network switch. Il y a aussi une sortie de surveillance HDMI pour que les clients puissent regarder une vue graphique en direct du stockage fonctionnant sur un téléviseur ou un moniteur. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is available with 8 TB of flash memory, so customers have lots of space for their files. That’s fantastic for television production, as it’s small enough to be portable, but it has enough storage space for lots of video media. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. Plus the four M.2 cards are arranged in a parallel RAID 0 group so they can operate much faster than a single card. That ensures enough speed to keep up with the 10G Ethernet connection.

With a separate very high speed 10G Ethernet connection, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is very fast. The internal memory core has been designed to saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. Even at maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is extremely quiet with very little cooling fan noise. It’s so fast, multicam editing is very smooth, even if it’s used with large digital film camera files.

Now customers can setup a local cache of their Dropbox files. This makes working much faster because files are instantly available without needing to be downloaded from the internet. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini will constantly work to stay in sync. Customers can even sync multiple Blackmagic Cloud Store Minis via Dropbox so people in different geographic locations can collaborate without latency because everyone has a local copy of the files. Dropbox is also a fantastic backup solution.

La caractéristique la plus excitante est la sortie de surveillance HDMI. Simply connect a TV or computer monitor to get a live status of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini. La carte de stockage montre une représentation graphique du cœur de la mémoire et des accès en lecture et en écriture en temps réel pour les utilisateurs connectés. There are also graphs that show customers the data transfers on the Ethernet connections. L'état de chaque connexion Dropbox est également affiché. It’s even possible to see connected users and the power supply status.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a high speed 10G Ethernet port, qui ne se trouve que sur les ordinateurs de poste de travail coûteux. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is so fast, it will run the 10G Ethernet port to its maximum capacity. Même lorsqu'il est connecté à un commutateur Ethernet avec des dizaines d'utilisateurs accédant aux fichiers en même temps.

Modern laptop computers are so thin, they often don’t even have an Ethernet connection. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in and customers can access it simply by plugging their computer into the USB-C port on the store. Once customers have connected the Cloud Store Mini’s USB-C connection to their computer, customers have an Ethernet connection to the store. That means customers can just plug in to quickly grab files when customers need them urgently.

The USB-C ports on the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini can be used for the backup of files. Backup solutions are important, because even though M.2 cards are extremely reliable, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini uses RAID 0 so it’s always a good idea to backup any storage device. To solve this problem, simply connect a disk to the USB-C port, so customers can do local backups without any ongoing costs and with total privacy. It works with a single USB-C disk, or a USB-C disk array.

One of the big advantages of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is it’s private storage that customers fully control. Il n'y a pas d'abonnements à souscrire. Il n'y a pas de frais de licence mensuels. Il n'y a pas de suivi de leur utilisation ou de leurs données. Les clients n'ont même pas besoin de se connecter à une page Web pour conserver les paramètres de stockage, because Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini uses a free to download software utility that runs on Mac and Windows. Cela signifie que les clients peuvent gérer un réseau privé, totalement déconnecté d'internet.

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is exciting because it’s a more affordable model of network storage, but it still retains a single 10G Ethernet port, so it’s extremely fast,” dit Grant Petty, PDG de Blackmagic Design. “Unlike cheap storage products from office supply stores, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is much faster and is designed for the film and television industry. It even has the HDMI monitoring output for a live status of the memory core!”
