Blackmagic Cloud Store 20TB

The Blackmagic Design Cloud Store 20TB is a high capacity network drive designed to handle large media files commonly used in Hollywood feature films. Due to the sophisticated flash memory used in the design, it can easily accommodate multiple users at the same time. It's also quite easy to set up! Files can be streamed around the world using Dropbox Live Sync for lightning-fast access to local files, even over low-cost internet connections. Unlike SAN systems, no IT expert is required and there are no monthly fees. There's even an HDMI display output with real-time storage status. All of this means you'll receive a lot more functionality than you would with affordable storage products from office supply retailers.

Designed for film and television

The Blackmagic Cloud Store network storage solution is ideal for any application! However, it is ideal for film and television, where large media files need to be shared among multiple users for editing, color correction, audio publishing, and visual effects. It can even work with Blackmagic RAW 12K digital cinema files! There is no latency for each user, and they don't need to keep anything on their own computer. It's the perfect complement to DaVinci Resolve! Dropbox sync lets you sync multiple drives in different locations around the world. After that, each location receives the most efficient editing experience possible. This is crucial for Multicam editing, as many media files are playing at the same time.

Portable and quiet design

The Blackmagic Cloud Store has an attractive vertical design that's portable, unlike IT industry storage systems that are rack-mounted and feature powerful cooling fans. It's also quiet, allowing it to be used on set. Internally, it has a parallel array of flash memory cards for speed and data security. There are even two power supplies which are redundant! The four 10G Ethernet ports can be used as a switch to connect four different computers, or they can be used in tandem to deliver gigantic 40G Ethernet speed using "link aggregation". An HDMI monitoring output allows you to observe a live graphical view of the storage system on a TV or monitor. It is even possible to maintain and repair it.
