We’re at NAB, and we’ve now unveiled our latest new product: EVO Prodigy. Here are some specifics about our new 1U storage system/workflow appliance…
EVO Prodigy offers robust and affordable shared media storage for compact spaces and for content creators on-the-go. Prodigy features a 16″ deep 1RU chassis that accommodates four 2.5″ enterprise level RAID edition SATA disks. The system also supports SSD disks, and includes two GbE ports for NAS and SAN access. Additional ports of GbE, 10GbE, or Fibre Channel are optionally available.
“We’re excited that EVO Prodigy will be able to reach a deeper segment of video and digital imaging artists,” commented Ryan Stoutenborough, President, SNS. “Prodigy is the perfect solution for DSLR workflows and mobile/field artists due to its aggressive price point, compact size, performance and overall collaborative nature.”
This new compact system will travel on-set to a shared editing environment in studio, to delivery and playout. As a workflow appliance, Prodigy is the perfect solution for users of aging SAN systems who will be able to affordably gain the project sharing, asset management, and workflow benefits offered by EVO and ShareBrowser.
ShareBrowser-Based Workflow Appliance
ShareBrowser is a unified file/project/asset management interface for OS X and Windows. It ties storage and project/media management into a single comprehensive window, and enables teams to search across all EVO storage as well as local, offline, and other network disks. File metadata can be instantly indexed to the database, and users can more easily find, preview, and share media assets and projects allowing content creators to collaborate more efficiently. Together EVO and ShareBrowser unlock features like project/bin/media sharing functionality for leading video applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid and others. ShareBrowser is included with all new EVO systems, including EVO Prodigy.
“As video continues its domination as the world’s method of choice for effectively communicating powerful stories and messages,” said Stoutenborough. “SNS continues to architect the perfect blend of innovative workflow, affordability and collaboration with ground breaking software/hardware tools for creative content artists world over.”
EVO is now available in 16 bay, 8 bay, and 4 bay configurations.
