    Hi Bob, hope you are well.

    As the only Gold Channel Partner for Apace Systems, ieei.tv can offer the entry level vStor model v2100-2U4TDB at $8,900. This is well below $20,000. Oh yaaaaa.

    It can offer shared realtime editing for 2 or more edit bays, FCP, Avid, Canopus or all at once.

    Add $200. for FedEx shipping anywhere in the USA, $400. for international.

    Not bad for a turnkey, tested, bullet proof, no frame drop, realtime editing share tool for video media and graphics editors.

    Oh, and not only does the vStor support realtime jitter free editing, but also is used to solve the archive dilemma. “Where can I store some projects, bins, sequences or just files for safe protected archive, but for immediate access”? We call it OnlineArchive. Looking for media on fw drives on the shelf is a thing of the past with vStor. Each vStor is raid 5 protected so all media is protected. Plus, each vStor is an ftp server that with Apace integrated admin management tools make it easy for editors to ftp files to other offices or clients. When you add up shared realtime storage, archive and ftp in a single device and what it would cost to try to accomplish that with other solutions, the vStor saves you $$$$$$ Plus the headache of dealing with multiple machines / manufacturers support etc. Everyone would love to have a tool that does all that the vStor does and with a dedicated lead Apace engineer that understands your install / use and can do remote access (with your approval) and help you install and manage your vStor. Saves us airplane rides and hotels, and better yet, helps the editor get back to work in a non intrusive way. Pretty kool. 🙂

    The vStor is like a Swiss army knife, powerful, easy to use and economic. Specs below on the entry level model 2U system. If you hit our site at http://www.ieei.tv and see link on the left on vStor you can see that the vStor model v3000 supports 40 x DVCpro50 video streams concurrently or 10 x 10 bit Apple ProRes 422 video streams. Ohhhh yaaaaaa. For DVCpro50, this means you could have 10 edit bays, all doing 4 streams each simultaneously. Every vStor comes with the Apace web based integrated management tools that allows for all kinds of administration of the vStor. Tools that help in the collaboration process of multiple editors. Tools that help define read and write access to work so that editors are not over writing each others work. If you move up to the v2200 series you get an even more powerful s/w tool called TotalShare that helps in the collaboration process.

    Entry level Apace vStor:

    v2100-2U4TDB, Apace Systems vStor, stream support for up to 20 DV25/HDV, 10 DVCPRO50, 4 DVCPRO-HD, 2 10-bit SD (recent tests results show being able to support 4-5 Streams of uSD easily) 2 8-bit 7:1 DNxHD, or 2 8-bit ProRes 422, 4TB raw capacity (3TB net capacity) in RAID 5, 2U 19 rackmount, 8 hot-swap 500GB s-ATA drives, dual GigE ports, & software. Stores 267 hours of DV25 video under RAID 5 protection. Includes Apace admin tools. Also includes ftp server built in and OnlineArchive.

    vStor is very simple to deploy, you simply rack the 2U chassis in a rack or set the vStor on a desk. With dual GigE on the vStor you can direct connect using cross over cable two edit bays, or connect the vStor into a low cost jumbo frame supported GigE switch and you are up and running. Heck, as producers / editors “Predators” work with notebooks more, vStor and ethernet makes sense, all they need to do is plug in the cat5e or 6 Cable and they can edit off the vStor.

    vStor is easy to use, easy to share, easy to admin, and as you grow….easy to add more edit bays or graphics stations to the share.

    vStor allows you to…… “Tell better stories”

    Bob, let me know when you have some time and we can send you a demo vStor for you to play with.

    Thanks and Best Regards,

    Best Regards,
