Features & Benefits
The ProMAX Platform Portable is a unique mobile server that allows creative groups to connect their existing attached storage devices and transform them into a simple but sophisticated shared editing environment. Content from the attached drives can be shared out to the workgroup over video optimized 1GbE and 10GbE connections using the ProMAX Platform Software. Storage devices can be connected to the server via Thunderbolt, USB, eSATA, FireWire and SAS, and all common file systems including Apple HFS+, FAT32 and NTFS are supported. The browser-based Platform software is compatible with Mac OSX, Windows and Linux clients and enables users to easily access content and manage the system from anywhere on the network. The Platform software also serves to manage media assets for any storage devices that may be used with the system. Connected drives can be indexed and files catalogued for easy searching regardless of whether the drives are online or offline. In addition to reading the existing metadata, custom tags can be added to individual files and proxies can be generated for preview. Platform Portable is built tough to perform on location and features a rugged steel construction with anti-static padding. It is lightweight and small enough to fit easily into airline overhead bins and each server comes with its own custom travel bag. Platform Portable was designed to help creative groups be more organized and efficient, to enable real-time sharing of media and greater collaboration no matter what the content and where it is located. Beyond this, Platform Portable has the ability to accelerate the content creation process by managing multiple workflow tasks such as transcoding and rendering. Use Platform Portable to transcode media at ingest and delivery or to render out projects from After Effects and Cinema 4D.
Connect & Share Simply attach your existing storage devices and connect your workstations to start sharing content.
