Created by an editor for editors, Jon Chappell and Digital Rebellion have created a software pack that keeps your workflow clean and operational. It can also help you save time when things go wrong, diagnosing and fixing issues where and when they occur. From finding and fixing corrupt clips to (our favorite) analyzing crashes and managing preferences, this utility pack can be a lifesaver. If you cut of Final Cut Studio, check it out!

Profile of digital broadcast software suite “Tools on Air,” that streamlines workflows for ingest, playout, editing and archive for terrestrial or web broadcast. Host: Dan Green

Finally, something that truly levels the playing field between mainstream broadcasting and upstarts. The “Tools on Air” suite is a powerful combo of apps that run on Macs and give you traditional broadcast workflows for pennies on the dollar. Best of all, unlike many traditional software products in the broadcast industry, thereʼs a common-sense UI and it works! Whether youʼre sending a stream or go live-to-tape or just want a highly efficient multi-location ingest that links direct with your NLEʼs, you gotta check it out. Go to their site and follow along if you can. Itʼs a Dan-favorite. Also, rumors on Blackmagicʼs Divinci Resolve to be addressed soon.

The good news is there are several options for asset management platforms in a metadata-driven workflow world. The bad news is theyʼre all a lot of work to get started.

Source ]]> From the makers at NEXTO DI comes the NEXTO NVS2500 Video Storage Pro, a new portable storage device featuring an LCD screen to actually preview footage, Sony SxS and Panasonic P2 compatibility, USB-OTG, an internal free-fall sensor, and extremely fast backup. This new device received DV magazine’s Black Diamond Award when it was first announced at the 2009 National Association of Broadcasters Show. Like its predecessors, the NVS2500 Video Storage Pro — or VS Pro — is a reliable, easy-to-use and extremely fast backup solution for when you are in the field or on location. It can back-up hundreds of hours of raw footage from hard drive camcorders, including high-definition, via USB or memory card so you do not need your laptop. You can back-up OTG (On-The-Go) wherever you are. But, what makes VS Pro stand out from all the rest is that it is the first licensed storage device to backup directly from a Sony SxS memory card. Users simply insert their SxS card into its designated slot in the hard drive and backup their footage. The device also works with Panasonic’s P2 and P2E cards (using an adaptor), Ikegami GFPAK via USB and all standard memory cards.

“When the marketing director at NEXTO DI told us about this new model they wanted us to launch in the U.S., we were all very excited because aside from what Sony and Panasonic makes for its products, there’s nothing else on the market that can backup directly from a Sony SxS card or a Panasonic P2 card,” says Doug Pircher, the general manager at International Supplies, distributor of the VS Pro. “The VS Pro also has so many new features that really addresses the needs of our customers. They want speed, convenience, reliability, efficiency and peace of mind, and the VS Pro offers all that and more.”

NEXTO’s VS Pro uses patented technology, called X-Copy, to give users the fastest backup speed possible. The VS Pro can backup an SxS card at an average speed of 80 MB/s; whereas the average backup speed of an SxS card using an SxS card reader and a laptop is about 20MB/s. So with the VS Pro, it would only take 3.4 minutes to backup a 16 GB SxS card compared to the 13.7 minutes it would take if you were to use a laptop with a 20 MB/s transfer speed. The maximum transfer speed of an SxS card is 100MB/s. Meanwhile, the average backup speed of P2 cards is 56MB/s, and 70MB/s for P2E cards. The VS Pro also features an eSATA, USB 2.0 and FireWire interface for fast transfer speed to and from the computer, which is ideal when downloading hours of raw footage.

In addition, the VS Pro allows users to preview their video footage via its 2.4″ Color LCD screen. The VS Pro supports video formats from a number of video products including XDCAM (XDCAM MPEG2 4:2:0), P2CAM (AVC-INTRA, DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO), Sony HVR Series (HDV, DV, AVI), Ikegami GFPAK (MPEG2 4:2:2), and Convergent Design (MPEG2 4:2:2). It also features a multiple backup function so when you insert a memory card into the device, you can backup simultaneously to the built-in hard drive and to an external hard drive, which can be connected to the VS Pro using a USB cable.

Another revolutionary feature is its internal free-fall sensor so in the event that you accidentally drop the device, it will automatically lock the data on the hard drive the second you drop it so you will not lose any footage. It also has internal shock absorbers to further ensure that your information will stay safe. The device automatically checks the integrity of your footage bit by bit to ensure 100% backup success. It will verify when backup is complete and if something is wrong with the video or file, you would know immediately. It will also notify you if the memory card is corrupt or if the hard drive is faulty.

The VS Pro can store all types of files from video footage to photos, data, music, movies and games, so it can easily serve as an external hard drive for backup at home or work. It is compatible with PC, MAC and UNIX. It is also so compact and lightweight, it fits in the palm of your hand so you can conveniently take your raw footage with you wherever you go.

The NEXTO Video Storage Pro will be available in 320 GB and 500 GB so you get to choose the capacity that best fits your specific storage needs. Prices start at $1,850. It is also forward compatible to 2TB if desired. The device comes with a two year warranty, a shock protection rubber jacket, USB cable, eSATA cable, FireWire cable, an extra AA battery holder, a car charger, and an AC adaptor. Auxiliary batteries are sold separately. For more information on NEXTO Video Storage Pro NVS2500, visit www.nextodiusa.com.
