Intransa Teams with Pulse Digital and Rimage to Demonstrate an IP-SAN DVD Authoring Solution at NAB In NewWave Booth #SL3960
Solution targets Media and DVD publishing houses keen on building unified authoring and storage infrastructure
NAB 2005, LAS VEGAS, NV — APRIL 18, 2005
Intransa, the first company to deliver the most flexible storage grid solution for mid-tier organizations and large enterprises, today announced it is partnering with Pulse Digital, a leading developer of integrated media asset management and automated DVD production systems, and Rimage, a pioneering manufacturer of DVD production systems, to deliver a truly collaborative, high-speed, multi-user IP-SAN DVD authoring solution for the Digital Asset Management industry.
NewWave, an Intransa business partner and a leading distributor of document imaging and CD\DVD publishing solutions, will host a demonstration of the IP-SAN DVD authoring solution which combines the patent-pending DVD SelectNet for media asset management and automated DVD authoring with Intransa’s IP-SAN storage grid for sophisticated network-based storage and the Rimage line of robotic, network-based DVD recording and printing systems. This allows any network-based users to fully author and produce professional DVDs faster, less expensively and with more flexibility.
“In most DVD authoring environments, multiple authors work simultaneously on various components of a project and frequently share details of their work with each other,” commented Dave Lee, director of solutions and technical marketing, Intransa, Inc. #8220;But with no central repository of digital content in place, authors end up spending a considerable amount of time just in copying and transferring large files to each other and in handling data management issues related to scalability, manageability and availability of their direct attached storage infrastructures,” he added.
“The IP-SAN DVD authoring solution provides a perfect fit for media and DVD publishing companies seeking to build a unified authoring and storage infrastructure,” stated Tommy Thompson, business development manager, NewWave Technologies. “This end-to-end solution delivers a simple, easy-to-use, extremely fast set of highly collaborative DVD authoring tools. As well as the best DVD production station available and a high performance central repository of digital content that can be easily accessed, scaled and managed on-the-fly by the authors themselves.”
“Today, DVD projects are authored by multiple users at multiple sites, resulting in complex authoring workflows. Our unique automated DVD authoring solution coupled with Intransa’s IP-SAN, will greatly improve the ability of media and DVD publishing firms to simplify their production workflows, improve product quality and shorten delivery schedules for their projects,” noted Mark Hirsch, CTO, Pulse Digital.
“Building a central repository of digital content, using Intransa’s unique storage grid solution, will help DVD publishing companies control rising storage costs, improve production workflows and help deliver high quality products within shorter development lifecycles,” stated Peter Wang, Intransa co-founder, vice president and CTO.
