Migrate your data. ¾ Tape has appealing price, but the incremental cost to maintain tape archives should be taken into consideration. ¾ Proper archive implementation can avoid these issues and risks Professional Disc for DATA Maintaining Trustworthy Records and Avoiding Costly Migration ¾ “Using a storage medium that reduces or eliminates the need for migration of the records during the full retention period reduces the risk that the integrity of the electronic records would be challenged” ¾ Source: Cohasset Associates white paper, Trustworthy Storage and Management of Electronic Records ¾ Reducing or eliminating migration provides considerable cost savings. ¾ Optical’s media removability and compatibility to future generation drives allows the “original” information to stay intact, maintaining the accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness of electronic records. ¾ Optical has become the defacto “gold standard” for WORM and long term archive requirements ¾ Even RAID companies acknowledge the “authenticity” attributes of optical WORM as a comparison benchmark Professional Disc for DATA Optimum Archive Storage Solution RAID >>>>> OPTICAL STORAGE and/or TAPE Professional Disc for DATA Blue Laser Technology Introduction The Professional Disc for DATA developed by Sony supports recording, rewriting, and playing back of up to 23.3 gigabytes (GB) of data on a single- sided, single-layer 120mm disc, the size of a standard DVDs.

  • Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008
    1 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Long time archiving from extensive data supplies requires more then only big storage capacity to be economical. Different requirements need different solutions! A technology comparison repays. Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Dr. K. Engelhardt 2 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Audit-compliant storage of large amounts of data is a key task in the modern business world. It is a mistake to see this task merely as a matter of storage technology. Instead, companies must take account of essential strategic and economic parameters as well as legal regulations. Often one single technology alone is not sufficient to cover all needs. Thus storage management is seldom a question of one solution verses another, but a combination of solutions to achieve the best possible result. This can frequently be seen in the overly narrow emphasis in many projects on hard disk-based solutions, an approach that is heavily promoted in advertising, and one that imprudently neglects the considerable application benefits of optical storage media (as well as those of tape-based solutions). This overly simplistic perspective has caused many professional users, particularly in the field of long-term archiving, to encounter unnecessary technical difficulties and economic consequences. Even a simple energy efficiency analysis would provide many users with helpful insights. Within the ongoing energy debate there is a simple truth: it is one thing to talk about ‘green IT’, but finding and implementing a solution is a completely different matter.

Since that time, the XDCAM HD products have been widely adopted around the world by a wide variety of users such as cinematographers, production facilities, broadcasters, and video professionals. XDCAM HD products not only boast a stunning HD picture quality, but also enable advanced nonlinear recording on “Professional Disc™” - an optical disc media based on blue-violet laser technology. Users have been enjoying the tremendous benefits of disc-based operations, such as instant random access and network capabili- ty to name just a few. Sony has evolved its XDCAM HD lineup by introducing two new camcorders, the PDW-F355 and PDW-F335, and a new deck, the PDW-F75, to provide much greater format versatility and operational flexibility. One of the most advanced features of the new lineup is its long recording time of approximately 4.5 hours of 1080i HD video. This is achieved by a newly developed dual-layer disc, the PFD50DLA, which has an extremely large storage capacity of 50 GB. The full lineup now comprises two 1/2-inch-type three-CCD camcorders, the new PDW-F355 and PDW-F335, plus the PDW-F75 deck. What's remarkable in the lineup is the addition of the new PDW- U1 drive unit, which offers a compact, mobile, and highly cost-effective solution for various applications.

  • XDCAM Family Sony XDCAM Family – Today’S Nonlinear Tapeless Production Solutions
    XDCAM Family Sony XDCAM Family – Today’s Nonlinear Tapeless Production Solutions In 2003, Sony introduced a series of products for video recording using nonlinear media. Along with the advantages of a tapeless workfl ow, this heralded a number of other tremendous benefi ts including fi le-based recording, split-second random-access capability, thumbnail search capability, no overwriting on existing footage and an IT/network capability. Sony named this epoch-making product line the XDCAM™ Professional Disc™ System. Since then, the XDCAM series has continued to demonstrate the many advantages of nonlinear recording, including a superb system for high-defi nition (HD) production. In response to ever-increasing demands of video production, Sony has expanded the XDCAM series by introducing four lines of products* – the XDCAM HD422, XDCAM HD, XDCAM SD and XDCAM EX™ – each of which is well suited to meet the wide range of applications and budget constraints. For user fl exibility, there is also a choice of recording format, such as HD or SD, recording bit rate, interlace or progressive mode, and optical disc or memory card recording media. With the XDCAM family, users can now select the product best suited to the particular production being created, and enjoy all the great benefi ts and effi ciencies of a nonlinear workfl ow. *Please refer to the brochures of each XDCAM product line for details on each model.

  • Adobe® Premiere® Pro Cs3 Using Adobe Premiere Pro with Sony XDCAM Content
    Workflow Guide Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3 Using Adobe Premiere Pro with Sony XDCAM content Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 software provides native support for Sony XDCAM cameras with no transcoding, real-time editing, and flexible delivery options. This document describes the workflow benefits of using Adobe Premiere Pro with Sony XDCAM content. A new generation of video cameras records to tapeless media instead of videotape, offering the potential of making production and post-production more efficient. However, an efficient tapeless workflow requires not only cameras, but also nonlinear editing software that natively supports the media created by those cameras. The Sony XDCAM family of professional cameras and decks records standard and high- definition video to optical disc and flash memory. Disc-based XDCAM cameras use half- inch or two-thirds-inch CCD imaging chips to record to high-capacity, blue laser discs. The handheld Sony PMW-EX1 XDCAM EX camcorder uses half-inch CMOS imaging chips to record high-definition video to solid-state memory cards. All XDCAM cameras and decks share core benefits: high-quality images, random-access media with long record times, and high transfer rates. Adobe Premiere Pro utilizes these XDCAM benefits to accelerate post-production, replac- ing real-time tape capture with file ingest that is faster than real time, while preserving image quality through native support for XDCAM content.
