Doremi Labs & Driveline Networks Announce
Joint
Development of Shared Virtual Storage Solution
Doremi Labs and Driveline Networks announce their joint
development of a shared virtual storage solution for multiple Doremi V1
video disk recorders, Pro Tools and TASCAM film dubbers to be networked
into a single workflow for audio post production of Film and Video.
Post production facilities have been searching for a system that would allow multiple audio post workstations and film dubbers to access numerous video playback units simultaneously. The previous solution was for audio post workstations to be fed their video from either expensive video tape decks or locally accessed video disk recorders such as the popular Doremi V1’s. This solution was acceptable for single workstation post houses, however, larger facilities change their video program material regularly and operate multiple workstations. Doremi Labs and Driveline Networks’ technology offers a virtual storage solution that integrates a post facility’s wide variety of hardware and software applications into the production environment.
Regarding this new jointly developed solution, Driveline president Jack Weaver stated, “Now facilities will be able to have multiple Pro Tools and multiple Doremi’s sharing the same piece of video from a network. This frees them from making numerous copies and updated versions and distributing them via sneaker net to individual workstations. Not only is the industry freed from tiresome and slow tape decks by using the Doremi V1, but the congestion and drudgery of individual audio workstations working in isolation has been eliminated by this joint development of Driveline and Doremi Labs. Once again our motto, ‘Connect Everything in the Production Environment ’ is being realized.”
Driveline’s Director of Technology, Tom Martin added, “Our new virtual storage software, DrivelineNetä allows us to attach up to 20 Doremi V1’s up to a single drive on our Driveline SAN environment.”
Doremi Labs’ marketing manager, Ramzi Shakra adds “V1 disk recorders operate flawlessly in the shared virtual storage environment. Full compatibility with current and older V1 machines makes the Driveline and Doremi combination an excellent choice for post houses that already own V1 machines and those looking to add the reliability and random access benefits of V1 disk recorders in a shared network storage environment.”
