Blackmagic Cloud Store Max 48TB

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max 48TB gives you high performance network storage designed for the film and television industry. It understands Blackmagic Cloud media sync and supports DaVinci Resolve proxy files. This means the moment a film crew starts shooting, the camera media will sync within seconds so the post production team can start working. With an incredibly fast flash based memory core, lots of users can all work at the same time. That’s perfect for sharing large media files. You can even build a broadcast replay system by connecting multiple HyperDeck recorders and DaVinci Resolve 19. Plus there’s a status monitor output.

Portable and quiet design
Blackmagic Cloud Store Max models feature a rack mount design that’s very portable and whisper quiet. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max model is a full rack width design with 12 flash memory cards, an extremely fast 100G Ethernet connection and 4 x 10G Ethernet connections. If you need to access files quickly, then the USB-C even operates as a network connection, simply by plugging it into your computer. There is also a monitoring video output with a live graphic view of the storage status.

Flash memory allows multiple simultaneius users
Blackmagic Cloud Store models feature large parallel flash memory cores with lots of space for your media files. That’s fantastic for film and television production as you get high performance, large capacity, all in a portable design. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. The Max model has 12 x M.2 cards arranged in a massive parallel RAID 0 group for extreme performance. That ensures enough speed to keep up with dozens of users. Only this massive parallel memory core has enough speed for large banks of HyperDeck recorders and dozens of editing workstations, all operating at the same time.

High performance for digital files
The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max model includes 100G Ethernet for adding more connections. Simply connect a Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P to the 100G Ethernet to get 16 extra 10G Ethernet connections. This means you can add lots of HyperDeck Studio ISO recorders, with each recorder connected to the switch. Each HyperDeck recording is then combined in the switch and sent to the Blackmagic Cloud Store Max via the 100G Ethernet connection. This high speed 100G connection lets you work in professional codecs such as ProRes and DNx. You can also build large creative workgroups with lots of edit workstations. The 100G connection can be used with copper or optical fiber cables.

Sync to Blackmagic Cloud
Now you can install a local cache of media uploaded to the Blackmagic Cloud website or Dropbox and Google Drive. This makes working faster because files are distributed globally, to as many sites as you need. Blackmagic Cloud Store will constantly work to stay in sync. You also save space on editing workstations because the files are downloaded to the Blackmagic Cloud Store so everyone on your network can access them. If you’re working with remote cameras, such as URSA Broadcast, URSA Cine or the Blackmagic Camera iPhone app, then these files will upload to Blackmagic Cloud and then download to the Blackmagic Cloud Store in seconds. That’s also fantastic for multi site media backup.

Distribute files globally
With support for the Blackmagic Cloud website, Dropbox and Google Drive sync, you can use Blackmagic Cloud Stores to share media files globally. That’s important when working with large datasets or massive digital film and video files. Editing requires access to media dozens of times a second, so internet connections can be too slow to handle it. Plus the internet has too much latency to access large files remotely. However, using the internet to sync media to local storage totally eliminates delays and latency. That’s because everyone has a local copy of the files on their network. With Blackmagic Cloud Store, you get constant media file sync, even if your computer is turned off.

Real time storage video monitoring
The most exciting feature is the live HDMI monitoring output. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max also has an SDI monitoring output. Simply connect a TV or monitor to get a live status update of the store. The storage map shows a graphic representation of the memory core in real time with reads and writes shown dynamically. It’s fun to watch. There are also graphs that show data transfers on the Ethernet connections. The main space indicator shows you the capacity of the memory core and the current usage. Plus, you can even add a custom name to the store. The status of the media sync to the Blackmagic Cloud website is also shown. Errors are shown as well, including power supply status.

Connect via USB-C
Modern laptop computers are so thin, they often don’t even have an Ethernet connection. That means you need an adapter to connect to an Ethernet network. These adapters are annoying and make it harder to just plug your computer into the storage to access a file. Blackmagic Cloud Store models have a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in and you can access it simply by plugging your computer into the USB-C port on the store. Plus USB-C cables are much nicer than stiff Ethernet cables. Once you have connected the Cloud Store’s USB-C connection to your computer, you have an Ethernet connection direct to the storage. That means you can just plug in to quickly grab files when you need them urgently.

Live production hyperdeck ISO recorders
Now it’s easy to get high end multi channel ISO recording by recording from an array of HyperDeck recorders directly into Blackmagic Cloud Store. Plus HyperDeck Studios work in all common codecs including H.264, H.265, DNx and ProRes. HyperDeck Studio recorders now support recording to network storage so you can build an array of HyperDeck Studios that record into the Blackmagic Cloud Stores while multiple DaVinci Resolve systems can edit the same media, all at the same time. DaVinci Resolve is free to download so it’s easy to expand to as many workstations as you need. Even as the files are recording, DaVinci Resolve can still edit the media, so it’s perfect for live action replay.

Add commections with Blackmagic Ethernet switch
The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P is the first Ethernet switch designed for the film and television industry. It has extremely high performance plus low latency. All the Ethernet connections are on the rear, which means the cables are neater, hidden from users and more secure. You get 16 fast 10G Ethernet ports and 2 high speed 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets for copper cables or optical fibre modules. Plus there’s a router panel built into the front so it can also be used to build small portable 2110 IP systems using a familiar video routing user interface. Users won’t even know they’re routing SMPTE-2110. It’s a simple plug and play solution with everything needed for television work.
