SGL Uses Direct Connect For Transfer Of High-Res Material

News Image
SGL has introduced Direct Connect for use within the SGL and Avid ISIS shared storage environment. Direct Connect allows users to quickly transfer high resolution material proving beneficial when working with longer form content.

The advent of HD, 4K and 8K formats has made a huge difference in terms of clarity of image but the large size of files can cause bottlenecks, reducing transfer times and hindering system performance. Using Direct Connect, clips or sequences over several GBs in size can be archived and retrieved significantly faster, as can shorter clips with high bit rates such as HD trailers and commercials.

"Traditionally content passed between SGL FlashNet and Avid ISIS is sent via Avid's archive provider. In the past when file sizes were smaller this worked well but for high-resolution file-based content this method has some performance implications. Direct Connect enables FlashNet to connect directly to the ISIS storage system using 1/10 GB Ethernet," explains Lee Sheppard, SGL's Director of Product Management.
