The
Jasco Group has recently announced Avid’s ISIS | 1000 shared storage system to the local market,
providing independent video and audio professionals and facilities the same
level of real-time collaboration proven for over a decade on the most demanding
productions in the industry. Powered by the Avid MediaCentralTM Platform, ISIS
| 1000 integrates seamlessly with Avid Media Composer, Pro Tools, and
third-party tools including Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Apple's Final Cut Pro
(FCP), so creative professionals can take on even the most complex projects.
“More
than 3,000 of the world’s top broadcast and post-production facilities rely on
Avid’s shared storage solutions,” says Chris Gahagan, senior vice president of
Products and Technology, Avid. “To help more independent professionals and
boutique post-production facilities participate in the Avid Everywhere
ecosystem, we are now delivering the performance, reliability, and scalability
of our proven storage suite in a more affordable, easy-to-use system that
speeds up editorial efficiency while protecting content creators’ valuable media
assets.”
Paul
Divall, Managing Director for Broadcast Solutions at the Jasco Group says, “With
the ISIS | 1000 shared storage system, customers are able to get the proven
performance, reliability, and scalability of ISIS in a more affordable,
easy-to-use system that’s designed to speed up editorial efficiency, while
protecting their assets. Unlike inexpensive storage drives that can only be
used with one workstation at a time, ISIS | 1000 puts the “flow” back into
workflow, enabling up to 24 contributors to access and share the same assets
simultaneously, greatly accelerating production.”
ISIS
| 1000 offers real-time editorial collaboration with performance that
accelerates media workflows for independent professionals, smaller audio and
video production facilities, houses of worship, government, corporations, and
educational media organisations. The advanced Avid ISIS file management system
enables professionals to work the way they want, with both Avid and third-party
systems, and attain the trusted data protection, flexibility, and scalability
only Avid can deliver.

features and benefits include:
Greater
integration:

Integration with third-party
systems — As a component of the Avid MediaCentral Platform, ISIS | 1000 is

solutions — When used with Avid solutions like Media Composer and Pro Tools,
ISIS | 1000 delivers time-saving workflows, enhanced performance, and greater
efficiency.

competitive solutions, ISIS | 1000 uses advanced, self-balancing intelligent
storage, backed by comprehensive reliability and workflow testing.
