SAN/NAS Server From German Company Elements

Elements (Syslink GmbH) will be showcasing its one-of-a-kind SAN/NAS server for the first time at HPA Tech Retreat in Palm Springs, CA.

The informal popular convention attracts industry-engineering, technical, and creative talent and covers all aspects of digital-cinema, post-production, film, television, video, and related technologies. The event will take place from 20th – 24th February 2017 at the Hyatt Regency in Indian Wells, CA.

The company enables customers to work in a heterogeneous SAN or NAS environment to share media files natively across all platforms and non-linear editing and VFX applications, including AvidMedia Composer, Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro and others, enabling operators to transfer entire projects from one application to any other application, reducing maintenance efforts and eliminating complicated workarounds. Its embedded outstanding workflow enhancement feature set comprises useful everyday tools such as task and file managers, a comprehensive user and rights management, which are all standard features and controlled via a intuitive graphical user interface for ease-of-operation.

The advantage of the company’s software innovations though, is its Media Library, a web-based media asset management tool with a full-text search engine, that features an intuitive GUI for professionally managing, presenting and sharing media assets directly on the shared storage, eliminating the necessity to perform any time consuming transcoding or copy tasks. The embedded Rough Cut Editor allows for editing original film material remotely via the browser-based HTML 5 platform, while all features and functionalities embedded in the Media Library are compatible with virtually all professional editing applications available.

The software package is embedded in all of the firm’s appliances, including Gateway which can be implemented in any existing environment, enabling customers to unite all applications under one file system, including Avid Media Composers.
