OpenDrives Partners with ARRI to Demonstrate Accelerated Video Processing Solution at IBC Show
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Streamlining the Storage and Manipulation of ARRIRAW Media Files from Camera
Ingest to Post-Production
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OpenDrives today announced that
its network-attached, all-flash storage array, Avalanche, will be featured in
the ARRI booth (12.F21) at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC Show)
in Amsterdam next week. This demonstration will showcase a new level of speed
and efficiency in ARRIRAW media processing workflows. The new ARRIRAW Converter
(ARC) complemented by OpenDrives data storage will achieve unprecedented debayer
and video playback performance. "At OpenDrives, we are obsessed with reducing
complexity and making it easier for industry professionals to focus on their
craft," said Zack Charney Cohen, Systems Engineer and Workflow Specialist at
OpenDrives.

As the demand for higher resolution imagery continues to grow, content creators
everywhere need to process premium formats quickly and efficiently, which is
pushing the limits of storage technology. Given that most Academy Award
nominated films in the past few years have been filmed on ALEXA series of
cameras, ARRI is the industry standard for high-end filmmaking. ARRIRAW data
produced from an ARRI ALEXA can be considered a digital version of a camera
negative. It delivers uncompromised image quality and provides the highest
achievable resolution, greater post-production flexibility, as well as raw data
archiving. ARRIRAW images are uncompressed and therefore more challenging for
processors and storage devices to handle. "Combined effort in fast processing,
using the newest ARRIRAW SDK provided in the ARRI Partner Program and the
fastest possible transfer and storage technology, lead to seamless workflows
even with files from the ARRI flagship products ALEXA SXT or ALEXA 65, up to
6.5K," said Henning Rädlein, Head of Digital Workflow Solutions at ARRI.
This enhanced workflow will enable entertainment companies to significantly
decrease processing times and realize meaningful efficiency gains by processing
raw media on a shared post-production storage tier. This makes files immediately
available for VFX and editorial teams and eliminates the need for slower on-set
processing and transfer solutions. In this demonstration, ARRIRAW will replay
faster than real-time, a technical achievement that has only been seen with
compressed formats in the past.
From camera ingest to post-production and beyond, OpenDrives continues to align
with media technology innovators like ARRI to push the boundaries of content
creation and deliver the industry's best performance and efficiency across
multiple workflows, allowing filmmakers to remove storage bottlenecks and work
at the speed of creativity.
