Elements will reveal its new and improved Elements One SAN/NAS server and storage application at this year’s IBC.
Elements One enables customers working in a heterogeneous SAN or NAS environment to share media files natively across all platforms and non-linear editing and VFX applications, reducing maintenance and eliminating complicated workarounds and time-consuming transcoding or copy tasks.
The embedded workflow enhancement tool set comprises of an intelligent task manager for customised workflow automation, a mature file manager and a comprehensive user and rights management tool, which are all standard features included in the new version. The entire workflow enhancement tool set provides a fully intuitive graphical user interface for exceptional ease-of-operation.
Meanwhile, Elements’ optional Media Library, an exclusive web-based media asset management and rough-cut editing tool, allows users to edit, present and share media assets on a HTML5 platform from any location on a standard Mac or PC.
The Media Library features a full text search engine for both online storage and any LTFS archive and offers the full spectrum of functionalities required by editors.
By being fully compatible with virtually every professional editing application available today, including AvidMediaComposer, Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro, it enables operators to transfer entire projects seamlessly from the Media Library to any other editing application, while fully supporting Avid bin-locking and project sharing. The Media Library dramatically improves and streamlines workflow and approval processes during the editing stage of any project, increasing productivity in post-production and broadcast environments.
According to André Kamps, CEO of Elements, “Elements One is not only a high-performance server-storage unit but the ultimate collaboration booster.
“The full set of practical tools and intelligent functionalities embedded in One, all fully intuitive to use, provide everything one needs in the daily business, rendering the deployment and training of various complicated software applications obsolete.”
Elements will be at Stand 3.A.27.
