Is your company involved in using OB Vans, SNG cars and or ENG teams or other ways to do outside registrations? Registrations such as sports events, news, festivals, business presentations, !lm shoots? There are more and more outside registrations with more and more cameras with more and more content to be handled and judged before it can be released. Also in more and more cases immediate checking and editing of material is required.

Is your company involved in using OB Vans, SNG cars and or ENG teams or other ways to do outside registrations? Registrations such as sports events, news, festivals, business presentations, !lm shoots? There are more and more outside registrations with more and more cameras with more and more content to be handled and judged before it can be released. Also in more and more cases immediate checking and editing of material is required.

Edit while ingesting The ability to ingest and edit material on location with the smallest, silent and fastest setup against the best rental price in the shortest time with the highest picture quality is a key decision factor. High picture quality requires high bandwidth. SAN systems deliver the highest bandwidth. These requirements call for an easy, fast and lightweight Ethernet SAN shared storage solution.

Recently Ardis Technologies introduced the micro-DDP series of Ethernet SAN shared storage systems. The microDDP series ful!lls the requirements mentioned. There are two versions. Each is 1U, 19 inch, 5Kg (11 LBS) and can have 8, 16 or 32 TB RAID5-protected SSD (solid state disk) storage.

microDDP1GbE has seven 1GbE / RJ45 ports built-in and a bandwidth up to 700 MByte/s.

microDDP10GbE comes with two 1GbE and two 10GbE/RJ45 ports and has a bandwidth up to 2200 MByte/s. The 10GbE ports can also be used as 1GbE ports.

These 25,5 cm (10”) and 29 cm (11,4”) in depth DDPs run the full DDP software package.

SSDs are still perceived to be expensive with limited capacity. Not so long ago however 1TB and 2TB SSD came on the market with prices much better then the prices of fast rotating (10K) spinning disks. SSDs are small, hardly produce heat but most importantly there is no seek time.
