EditShare Wins C&T 2007 For Best Tapless Digital Workflow For Project/Facility Roll Out

EditShare, a technology leader in cross platform collaborative editing and shared media storage systems, has taken home the C&T 2007 for best Tapeless Digital Workflow for a project/facility roll out.
Submitted in conjunction with Cutting Edge, Australia's largest privately owned post facility with locations in Brisbane and Sydney, won the coveted C&T Award for the widely popular reality TV show 'Big Brother'.
"We are delivering more than just a storage product - we are rolling out solutions that enable businesses such as post businesses to optimize their projects and resources," said Paul Hayes of EditShare Australia. "Cutting Edge were quick to recognize the cost and workflow benefits our storage solutions provide."
Cutting Edge Managing Director Michael Burton proposed a tapeless workflow as a means to improve turnaround times for the fast paced reality TV shows. The transition to the tapeless workflow solved several critical issues and reduced overall costs of the operation. No longer did the team have to double handle media, digitize rushes for large reality series such as Big Brother. With EditShare editors have instant access to high-resolution source material via Gigabit Ethernet networks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The system was successfully used 24hrs a day for the three month Australian Big Brother 07 series.
The EditShare workflow comprised of 10 Adrenaline suites and 10 proxy editing suites editing 2:1 realtime off the EditShare server.
