NAB Show: OWC Unveils and Showcases Storage, Connectivity and Software Solutions for Video Production Pros

Other World Computing, Inc (OWC)  introduced its itinerary for NAB 2022, which will be in Las Vegas, NV, on April 23-27, 2022, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The company showcases several new storage system upgrades that deliver fast transfer speeds and reliability for media professionals with storage-intensive workflows

Jellyfish R24

Jellyfish family

The company introduces the R24 as the flagship product of its Jellyfish lineup. The R24 redefines what a rack-mounted server for video teams should be. Built with 24 bays of HDD storage and up to 432TB (expandable to over 1.5PB), the R24 comes with 512GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD cache and 8TB of NVME cache pool. The R24 is guaranteed to make sure your professional video editors are editing together at the speed of thought. There is no rack-mounted NAS server on the market with more power or better designed for what video teams do. Combining that with the same plug-and-play ease of use and software that the rest of the Jellyfish models have, the R24 becomes the server to build your content team around.

Jellyfish Mobile

Known worldwide as a standard portable NAS for video teams, it is your plug-and-play, best friend for your small in-house or on-the-go content team. It is a game changer for your team’s video workflow. With no IT, use can connect to 14 10Gb/s or 1Gb/s video editors and spread up to 2,300MB/s in real-world video speed to them.

Flex 1U4

It is a flexible, professional-grade, 4-bay Thunderbolt storage and docking solution designed for rackmount workflows. Media professionals can utilize a mix of 2.5 or 3.5-inch SATA/SAS and U.2/M.2 NVMe drives in the hot-swappable drive bays. Connect gear, including additional storage, displays, and more, and charge mobile devices with 7 Thunderbolt and USB ports. To customize your workflow, add an audio/video capture, 10GbE networking, SSD storage, hardware RAID, or I/O card to the PCIe slot.

Copy that for Mac

Once you’ve captured your footage, you need to quickly and accurately transfer your hard work to backups, editors, producers, and directors. Copy That for Mac is the company’s latest workflow tool built to accomplish this task. Copy That streamlines the ingest process with lighting fast, verified copies of your files from RED, Blackmagic, ARRI cameras, and other storage media. Copy That handles everything from checksum copies to simultaneous transfers to multiple storage solutions. When it is time to move from location to editing, Copy That gets your data there fast and secure.

Thunderbolt Pro Dock

The firm’s flash storage solutions are put through performance testing so video and photo professionals can depend on real-world speeds in their workflows. Truthfully listing Atlas S Pro cards for reliable performance up to 276MB/s write and 290MB/s read speeds defines our commitment to the ‘OWC Difference,’ which ensures you’ll be completely satisfied these SD UHS-II V90 cards will deliver the performance you are counting on.

You can pack more accessories to help capture those unforgettable moments.

Mercury Pro LTO

This integrated tape backup and archiving solution is a mission-critical requirement for protecting and preserving vast volumes of data for more extended periods with the familiar drag-and-drop operation and better economies of scale than disk-based storage. The Mercury Pro LTO is the answer to this challenge and is now available with LTO-9. Ruggedly small with a built-in handle, it can go on-set or move among studio, department, or office computers for a shared data protection solution.
