Facilis TerraBlock and SyncBlock Compatible With Three Tools

Facilis Technology, Inc. announced compatibility for its TerraBlock shared storage and SyncBlock archiving solutions with tools from Cinedeck, Empress and axle Video.

Each new qualification brings post-production and content creation professionals the option to expand their ingest, storage, archiving and asset management capabilities with production-proven solutions that cater to a wide range of facilities – from boutique to mid-size and larger creative shops.

NAB attendees visited the Facilis booth and partner booths throughout the show to see how these workflows foster greater productivity and collaboration:

Facilis TerraBlock at Cinedeck Booth
Cinedeck’s MX multi-channel ingest platform supplies the virtual facility with constant media assets from several concurrent inputs. Now qualified as a 10Gb connected client to Shared File System, facilities can access up to 4:4:4 10bit HD direct ingest with real time proxy generation for up to 4 channels concurrently. A live ingest workflow with TerraBlock was on display for attendees to check out at the Cinedeck booth throughout the show.

Empress Showcases eMAM 3.3 and TerraBlock Workflow
Empress, an enterprise asset management provider, has qualified TerraBlock and Shared File System as supported storage for its eMAM 3.3 digital asset management system. The new version of eMAM features integration of Adobe products directly in the MAM interface and was showcased with the Facilis TerraBlock in a shared workflow with Adobe Prelude and Adobe Premiere Pro during NAB.

axle Video at Facilis Booth
axle Video has made its affordable MAM (Media Asset Management) software compatible with SyncBlock to facilitate easier archive management. The software delivers search and playback of proxy assets even after data has been moved from tier 1 storage. Post production and content creation professionals can now track every asset placed into an archive, complete a search and find it.

"No shop or facility is alike; each requires its own unique workflow," said James McKenna, VP marketing for Facilis. "Qualifying TerraBlock for such a diverse range of solutions is an example of our commitment to meeting the needs of each professional. TerraBlock is a flexible, powerful solution for any post production and content creation environment – from the five-man shop to a global broadcast facility."
