Using DPX and OpenEXR with shared storage used to mean huge investments, workflow directors, and exotic file systems. Not anymore.

 

Qualified for 16-bit 4K DPX

• EVO DPX supports 16-bit 4K (4096 x 2160) DPX at 30fps right out of the box.


• A system with only 8 disks can handle real-world workloads of ~3,000 megabytes/s aggregate.

Powered by enterprise-class SSDs

• EVO DPX includes ultra high performance, high write endurance SSDs that help to deliver incredible throughput to colorists, VFX artists, and editors.

Supports Windows, Linux, and Mac

• EVO DPX enables your team to work and collaborate across multiple OSes. You can have a VFX artist on Linux, a DaVinci Resolve colorist on Windows, and Premiere Pro editors on Mac all working from the same storage system.


• Built-in 25Gb Ethernet connectivity


• Stream DPX/EXR and multiple streams of ProRes or other media over 25Gb Ethernet. In many cases you can even directly connect your workstations to EVO, no switch required.

Netflix deliverables? No problem.

• EVO DPX is qualified for up to 16-bit 4K DCI DPX and EXR @ 30fps. Perfect for handling demanding workflows like the ones required by Netflix.


• EVO DPX can be custom configured for even higher workloads, and options for 50Gb Ethernet connectivity are available.


• Effortlessly handle high-resolution 10, 12, and 16-bit image sequences.

Workflow harmony.

It’s now easier than ever to incorporate your DPX and OpenEXR workflows into a shared environment, alongside motion graphics and edit suites running Premiere Pro, Avid, or FCP X.

Focus on productivity.

By enabling real-time editing directly over the storage network, EVO eliminates the need for standalone RAIDs or individual drives for multiple workstations. This, in turn, eliminates the need to endlessly shuffle huge files. Editors, colorists, and other artists spend less time waiting and more time getting things done.

Harmonic’s MediaGrid shared storage solution is an ideal fit for digital media applications requiring shared, real-time storage, such as ingest, playout, archive, edit-in-place, collaborative editing, transcoding and over-the-top (OTT) adaptive bitrate streaming. Simple to deploy, manage and scale, MediaGrid storage accelerates file-based workflows and provides the ability to manage the entire asset lifecycle. The system reduces the cost of storing media nearline, making it practical to economically deploy multi-petabyte digital media libraries and archives for video on demand (VOD) and other applications.

The MediaGrid system is purpose-built from the ground up to deliver high bandwidth and consistent low latency for video. Media operations can start with smaller MediaGrid systems — as little as 24 TB of usable capacity — and seamlessly scale to petabytes of capacity and tens of gigabytes per second of throughput. An industry-leading, high-density storage option — up to 504 TB of raw capacity in 5 RU — can reduce rack space by up to 60% and lower storage-related costs by up to 30%, minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) through its exceptional price/performance capabilities.

MediaGrid features include:

High Scalability
The MediaGrid system is based on a fully distributed scale-out architecture, resulting in increased performance as additional storage nodes are added. As the system is expanded, bandwidth and capacity increase linearly, actually improving access speed to content already on the system.

Simple and Cost-Effective
Based on standard hardware components and cost-effective Ethernet technology, MediaGrid system is economical to purchase and maintain. There’s no need for file system reconfiguration as you scale, or for file system defragmentation as the file system ages.

Optimized for Media Workflow
The MediaGrid shared storage works with dozens of leading media systems, including Harmonic Spectrum media servers and ProMedia™ X Origin multiscreen media servers. It also enables collaborative editing workflows with nonlinear editors, such as Apple® Final Cut Pro®, Avid® Media Composer® and Adobe® Premiere® Pro.

Reliability and Availability
MediaGrid systems have no single point of failure, and leverage features such as dual active-active controllers with transparent failover, redundant data paths to protect against storage node failures, and transparent client failover to protect against controller failures. No down time is required even for activities such as software and firmware upgrades or adding storage nodes.
