NAB SHOW, Booth #SL9629 -- Rorke Data Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Microproducts (NASDAQ: BELM), and a
data storage-centric, end-to-end all digital solutions provider to
the film and video post-production and broadcast industries, today
announced that MTI Film, the developer of Control Dailies™, has
selected Rorke's Galaxy® Aurora RAID platform. With an MSRP
starting at under $1/GB and sustained transfer rates of 2300 MB/s,
the Aurora RAID is ideal for high-resolution, multi-stream
post-production environments, and is already deployed at MTI Film
customer facilities. The Galaxy Aurora is also a key component
in-house at MTI, giving the company the ability to handle the
storage-intensive work load of digital dailies production and
delivery.
Control Dailies is a complete solution for digital and film
dailies processing consisting of an integrated family of products
for handling every step of the dailies workflow from hand-off to
delivery. Control Dailies gives facilities the ability to
simultaneously ingest, review, synchronize, color correct, and
output material. This requires a consistently high bandwidth, and
Rorke Data allows MTI to configure a Galaxy Aurora with up to 4
simultaneous HD 4:4:4 streams. This performance and reliability
makes sure that, night after night, time-critical dailies can be
completed without bottlenecks. "The Galaxy Aurora from Rorke Data
offers impressive performance at a very competitive price point,"
said John Stevens, director of engineering for MTI Film. "The Rorke
Data team's knowledge, experience and responsiveness have
thoroughly impressed us, and we are pleased to be able to offer
this option to our Control Dailies customers. Several of our
customers successfully deployed the Galaxy Aurora earlier this
year, and their experiences have made it easy for us to decide to
use the solution for our in-house dailies environment. We also
continue to recommend it to our customers."
"We are very pleased to have been selected by MTI Film, as their
game-changing technology for cost-effective, efficient digital
dailies management and delivery is attracting many new customers --
as evidenced by the build out of their new state-of-the art
facility in Los Angeles," said Joe Rorke, vice president of
marketing for Rorke Data. "The Galaxy Aurora perfectly complements
MTI Film's mission to deliver very high-end post-production
services to the broader growing market."
