One of the leading post production facilities in Asia, Postique, pushes its workflow architecture to the next level: Future-proof DVS equipment builds the facility's new technological backbone.
Hanover. Bangkok-based Postique has recently opted for high-end products by DVS to bolster the facility: A major storage upgrade includes four SpycerBox Flex as super-fast online storage, two SpycerBox Ultra as central staging area to interconnect multiple departments as well as a DVS-SAN with 140 TB as reliable near-line storage. DVS's Spycer® software is used for cross-platform data management, while three CLIPSTER® DI workstations handle I/O, DCI Mastering and RAW workflows.
With six DVS SpycerBoxes altogether, Postique has selected high-performance production storage that quickly and reliably transfers high-resolution projects, thus yielding considerable time savings for editors and colorists. All workstations and grading nodes can access the SpycerBoxes not only as SAN systems, but also as NAS (Network Attached Storage).
The DVS-SAN with its 140 TB near-line storage is optimized for post production workflows and functions as a key component in the high data rate, shared storage solution. In addition, Postique's legacy SAN components are being fully integrated into the DVS-SAN infrastructure - the storage architecture is controlled by DVS's new high-availability metadata server. The stand-alone defragmentation tool Mephisto handles defragmenting and descattering and thus guarantees a constantly optimum performance.
The award-winning DVS software Spycer® enables facility-wide, cross-platform data management and speeds up the data flow: Users at Postique can easily search the entire network for image data and their metadata and move the content where it is currently needed. As a result, organizing becomes significantly more transparent and reliable, while the extensive Spycer® feature set grants complete content control.
Three CLIPSTER® systems are at the heart of Postique's DI workflow thanks to their real-time conforming, real-time processing of RAW files, and faster than real-time DCI Mastering. With a unique hardware platform and a specially developed hardware accelerator, the award-winning DVS system manages to decode and demosaic RAW files in full quality at 4K 12 bit RGB mode in real time. Furthermore, CLIPSTER® enables the generation of DCI Masters in 3D - the DI workstation merges left eye and right eye image data, creating a stereoscopic video track in the timeline which can be edited as regular video material.
"As we faced increased bookings and tighter schedules, we chose DVS as a reliable partner to upgrade and enhance our system backbone. We are very pleased to have invested in superior cutting-edge technology," says Bobbie Wong, President at Postique. "Our new DVS equipment completes our DI workflow and will help us exceed our customers' requirements."
Eric Augereau, Sales Director Region Asia Pacific at DVS: "Postique is one of the leading post houses in South East Asia and Thailand's No.1 facility, not least because they pioneered DI workflows in Asia. We are delighted to support them with our future-proof solutions that will assist them to continue leading the way in the post production industry."
