Avid Shared Media?
Everyone,
I’ve recently started working for a small production company that is trying to find an affordable way to share media between three edit suites running Avid Media Composer 2.7. Two of the suites are wired with Adrenaline I/O, and the third is running Mojo. Buying Unity isn’t within the company’s budget. What I’ve read online is a bit confusing, and our new “IT” guy isn’t Avid savvy. Can someone please point me in the right direction to solution if there is one.Thank you all for your Time.

What about Facili’s Terrablock? It works well with Avid’s.
The company was founded by ex Avid people I think.These guys are also VERY good.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll check into and set up another post, once I’ve come to a conclusion.

Hi Gabe,
We’re in a similar situation here with a Symphony, a Media Composer and a MC software setup.
We bought the Facilis Terablock and have been pretty happy with it. We’ve had no problems running uncompressed 10bit HD off the drives, and the MC Software works very well, able to edit all media formats we commonly use as if you were in one of the more expensive suites, obviously it doesn’t have i/o capability though.It doesn’t have the dynamic partition size adjustment of Unity though and it can be a pain sometimes when you have too many partitions mounted but that might be more a Windows issue. We have been running it for over a year now with no significant problems.
We will try to hook up a fcp suite to it shortly, mainly for storage use not necessarily project sharing.
Good luck
