Elements will offer online demonstrations of its storage platform to those who cannot attend NAB in Las Vegas.
Media storage specialist Elements will have live demonstrations of its hybrid storage platform and new features at the NAB Show 2022.
In order to provide the highest level of performance for media and entertainment companies, Elements adopted BeeGFS, an ultra-modern file system first developed by ThinkParQ/Fraunhofer ITWM in order to power the world’s fastest super-computers.
Now, Elements has integrated it into a hybrid storage platform that allows facilities to access content seamlessly across both on-premise appliances and the cloud, in a single, intuitive user interface. Key features like remote collaboration and metadata-based searches are available in the cloud just as they are with on-premises storage. Workspaces in hybrid systems have near-endless scalability and access from anywhere.
The support of cloud services has also been expanded in the Elements Media Library. Connecting the Media Library to the cloud lets users preview, share and collaborate on the footage as easily as if it were stored on on-premise storage. Also, the Media Library now allows external users to upload footage securely and supports full metadata transfer (even between separate Elements systems). The AAF export functionality was added to allow rough-cuts to be imported into Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and many other professional applications.
André Kamps, CEO of Elements, said: “The events of the last couple of years have meant that the post industry has completely re-evaluated the way it needs to work. The cloud with its ready scalability and access from anywhere has suddenly become very attractive. What we are doing is delivering the real cloud benefits, presented in a way that makes perfect sense to the media industry.”
He added: “You cannot really appreciate how simple, logical and very, very fast it is without seeing it, which is why we are delighted to be back at a major trade show and in front of our clients. If you are going to NAB, please visit https://elements.tv/nab2022/ and book a demo – you need to see this to believe how impressive it really is.”
