(Las Vegas, Nevada--November 4, 2009) Focus Enhancements Inc., a worldwide leader in media management and ultra wideband (UWB) wireless technology, today announced the new ProxSys® MA Media Archive Server series of affordable archive solutions for popular tapeless media formats.
ProxSys MA is targeted at users of P2, SxS, Sony Professional Disc, FS DTE and other tapeless media sources who require a simple and affordable way to automatically ingest content, add custom metadata, archive the content to redundant and affordable storage and then easily find and quickly retrieve that content anytime in the future. To aid in quick search of content at a latter date, a Flash preview is automatically generated during ingest and remains online along with both native and custom metadata on the ProxSys MA system. Users can search and preview content from any networked web browser client and once content has been located, the original high-resolution content can be easily retrieved from either Blu-ray disc or USB HDD for immediate use.
“The increase in popularity of tapeless acquisition has greatly enhanced workflow for video production in many ways,” said Matt McEwen, director of product management for Focus Enhancements. “With ProxSys MA-10 Media Archive Server, we have provided the simplest means of archiving raw content from tapeless media as well as being able to quickly retrieve that content at a later date.”
Two versions of ProxSys MA Media Archive Server will be available. Both versions are based on a Windows XP Pro desktop server with the ProxSys MA application on a Linux virtual machine and feature 1TB of mirrored RAID internal storage (for up to 2500 hours of proxy clips and preview render). The standard ProxSys MA-10 features an internal 8x Blu-ray burner and a single license for the ProxSys Media Transfer Utility for use on the local machine. The ProxSys MA-50 utilizes a robotic 8x Blu-ray burner in place of the internal unit that allows for automated Blu-ray burning when archived material reaches a particular size as well as customizable disc label printing. The MA-50 version also includes two licensed copies of the ProxSys Media Transfer Utility for local or remote (Mac or Windows) ingest.
Pricing and Availability
Focus Enhancements will be demonstrating the new ProxSys MA series at their booth at NAB 2009 (# SL1905). The ProxSys MA-10 will be available through the Focus Enhancements worldwide dealer and distributor network for an MSRP of $6,995 and MA-50, $13,995. Both are expected to be shipping in early summer 2009. For more information, please visit http://www.focusinfo.com.
