For the last 14 years Directors Cut has been at the forefront of content
production embracing new technologies and skill sets in order to meet the
demands of an ever changing broadcast landscape. Staying ahead of the
technology curve has enabled them to remain both innovative and
competitive in the field of HD production workflows.

"With more of our client’s projects
being file based from ingest to delivery we have been keeping an eye on the
broadcast technology market for integrated solutions that allow us to build
secure, cost effective and repeatable workflows,
" stated Andy
Nicholson, technical director, Directors Cut. "MatrixStore from Object Matrix provides us with a trusted storage
platform that not only integrates into our current workflow but also has the
ability to hook into any future technology platforms we implement.
"

Implementing a tapeless or file-based workflow has again been highlighted as
one of the top challenges facing creative organisations. With a myriad of
different formats being ingested on a daily basis and new standards for file
delivery being implemented facilities such as Directors Cut are implementing
solutions that make that process smoother.

The 60TB MatrixStore solution purchased by Directors Cut will be implemented
into an Avid Interplay workflow with content transferred to and from the
MatrixStore nearline platform using the InterConnect archive plug-in. The
complete storage workflow has been supplied by Object Matrix and Avid partner Tyrell Content Creation Tools Ireland Ltd.

"Many of our customers are faced
with similar challenges and MatrixStore complements the online storage
providing fast, secure overflow as projects demand
," comments Martin
Bennett, commercial director, Tyrell.

Gavin Emery, account manager, Object Matrix, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Mark, Andy and the team at Directors
Cut. Having discussed the many challenges of implementing file based workflows
with them we are proud that they chose Object Matrix to provide the secure
nearline tier of storage.
