Small Tree Unveiling TZ5+ Mobile Shared Storage System

With an increasing demand for mobile shared storage support, Small Tree Communications, LLC has developed mobile workflow solution for video editors to edit projects while on the road.

The TitaniumZ5+, unveiled at NAB 2016, is a full featured, performance video editing shared storage appliance with advanced file sharing capabilities that is available at an affordable price point.

An all-in-one Ethernet-based shared storage solution for professional video editors who require shared access to media files – whether in the studio or on the go – TZ5+ provides optimal flexibility for post-production studios. The server, networking and storage are all accommodated within the TZ5+’s space-saving desktop design. So whether it’s at the studio or on the move with a mobile production crew, it allows users immediate and simultaneous access to project files.

“On-site post-production at live events continues to grow as companies seek to meet the ongoing consumer demand for content,” said Corky Seeber, president, Small Tree. “As a result, video editors need a portable shared storage solution that is easy to ship and assemble, and, most importantly, can handle the workload. The TZ5+ not only ticks all of the boxes for mobile support, it’s an ideal solution for many post-production facilities.“

A five-drive system available with 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8TB disk drives, TZ5+ offers two GbE ports and can support up to two ports of 10GbE for users requiring more performance. The unit, which comes with a built-in handle attached to a rugged case to withstand the rigors of mobile requirements, is simple to set up and manage, allowing the storage to be available within minutes of initial start-up. Platform agnostic, TZ5+ supports Adobe Creative Suite, Apple Final Cut 7 and Apple Final Cut Pro 10, in addition to other popular multimedia applications.
