Complete Collaboration: EditShare Flow, EditShare Storage Series, EditShare XStream Series, and EditShare Ark. Manage media from ingest to archiving.

EditShare has announced Complete Collaboration, new, breakthrough turnkey solutions for managing and storing media from acquisition to archive. Complete Collaboration includes EditShare Flow, EditShare Storage Series, EditShare XStream Series, and EditShare Ark. Visitors to NAB 2008 can view the new Complete Collaboration product line at booth SL9820.

"Complete Collaboration is a natural extension of the original EditShare workflow. Tools to share, exchange, manage, and safely store media are developed specifically to support the wide range of post and broadcast workflows. With the EditShare philosophy at its core, Complete Collaboration ensures that users can leverage the editing applications and content creation tools of their choice," says Andy Liebman, founder and president, EditShare.

Complete Collaboration - EditShare Flow
The new EditShare Flow series offers two distinct packages - Flow Ingest and Flow Browse - that integrate seamlessly with the EditShare Storage, XStream, and Ark solutions. EditShare Flow Ingest is the only acquisition solution that captures in just about any format and simultaneously outputs to just about any format including Apple, Avid, and low-res proxy formats. No transcoding is required; files are immediately available. Features include multi-channel ingest with independent control over each channel, full metadata capture, and edit-while-recording capabilities. Users can automate ingest, control ingest remotely, or initiate it manually. EditShare Flow Ingest supports Apple ProRes 422, Avid MXF formats, and up to three codecs per channel including proxy.

EditShare Flow Browse simplifies and accelerates media searches within the EditShare storage environment. Users can quickly locate media among hundreds of thousands of clips. EditShare Flow Browse supports proxy viewing outside the nonlinear editing application for optimal viewing on the EditShare Media Space, annotation of metadata forms, and the ability to drag and drop media into an Avid or Final Cut Pro bin.

Complete Collaboration - EditShare Storage and XStream Series
EditShare Storage Series encompasses EditShare's existing shared storage solutions: the EditShare Field mobile storage solution, EditShare Metro for small to mid-size editing workgroups, and EditShare's scalable Rack Units. In addition to the legendary Apple and Avid project sharing capabilities, the storage series offers automated diagnostic tools and the industry's most efficient back-office data processing policies and administration.

The new EditShare XStream Series is designed to support high-performance post and broadcast environments. EditShare XStream can process media at data rates of 300MB per second per stream, supporting up to 52 streams of DV50 and multiple 1080p 444 HD projects/streams. This makes it the perfect solution for post facilities working with Digital Intermediary (DI) 2k projects as well as television stations with large numbers of simultaneous users accessing central storage or employing concurrent workflows.

Complete Collaboration - EditShare Ark
EditShare Ark provides integrated solutions for backups, mirroring, and archiving. These essential security features let users economically organize and manage media in a variety of scenarios, including LTO-backup and "spinning disc" solutions that can be upgraded to the full EditShare Server Series with little to no downtime. Built on "Green" drive technology, the EditShare Ark units optimize storage costs without compromising quality or scalability.

EditShare Complete Collaboration Availability
EditShare Flow, XStream Series, and Ark will ship in late Q2 2008.

Stay tuned for pricing details.
