Video Solutions

I headed out to Palo Alto on the January 25th to attend the BDEvent (Business Development Networking Event for Storage). I met with analysts and press who were interested in finding out more about the Alliance’s professional member community, RDX® technology, and our press release highlighting RDX technology use in the video production world and IDC’s amazing forecast for RDX.

Filmworks/FX’s use of RDX removable disk products is a great example of multiple benefits of RDX. Filmworks/FX is a feature visual effects production and post-production company that routinely works with major motion picture companies (look for their name in the credits). Video Filmworks/FX named RDX data portability outside the network, ruggedness, performance and the capacity of RDX cartridges as all important in stream-lining their production pipeline.

If you’re a movie watcher and not maker, a little explanation: video production entails collaborative effort among producers, directors, film editors, videographers, visual effects artists, animators, sound editors, distributors and more. RDX removable disk storage comes into play to duplicate, store and transport the digitized video data to all team members. Team members pop in their RDX cartridge into the RDX dock attached to computer workstations and within minutes they’re editing the video.

We have a lot more in the video solution section of the website and checkout the press release.
