LAS VEGAS – Assimilate (www.assimilateinc.com) and Facilis Technology (www.facilistech.com) have joined forces to demonstrate the Scratch data-centric, resolution-independent workflow solution with the TerraBlock 2.0 SAN storage solution. Facilis is now part of the “Assimilate Performance Lab” acknowledging it a qualified vendor for delivering the realtime performance Scratch requires.
Scratch is an end-to-end, post production pipeline that allows post professionals to work with or combine HD, SD and film (2K, 4K and beyond) files and output to any format. Features include data management and simultaneous, realtime, multi-resolution review/playback, assemble/edit, conform, primary and secondary color grading, multi-layer grading stack, audio, visual effects (enhanced by third-party plug-ins), and final mastering to any format.
The TerraBlock 2.0 high-bandwidth shared storage solution lets multiple editors use Scratch simultaneously, even when requiring full 24fps playback on the same 2K frame sequences. TerraBlock 2.0 introduces Tandem, a volume spanning architecture that uses servers in combination to produce the bandwidth needed for multiple 2K players on a single data set.
