Ciprico Announces Compatibility of MediaVault InfiniBand Bridge and 4110 Storage Array Solution with Dalsa Origin 4K Camera.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- New InfiniBand Bridge and 4Gb Fibre Channel Array Combination Works with World's First and Only Commercially Available 4K Digital Cinematography cinematography: see motion picture photography. cinematography Art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves the composition of a scene, lighting of the set and actors, choice of cameras, camera angle, and integration of special Camera In a major announcement made at the 2006 NAB show, Ciprico Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CPCI See CompactPCI. ), a leading storage solutions provider for the content creation, management, and delivery applications, announced that its newly debuted InfiniBand Bridge and 4Gb Fibre Channel MediaVault(TM) 4110 RAID array have been tested and certified as compatible with the DALSA Origin The Dalsa Origin is the first camera designed and built by Dalsa Corporation to be used specifically for digital cinematography. Technical details The Dalsa Origin is the first commercially available digital cinema camera to capture at 4K resolution, the emerging quality , the world's first and only commercially available 4K digital cinematography camera. In booth SL-4987 at NAB, Ciprico will demonstrate the InfiniBand Bridge and MediaVault 4110s running a short western film shot in 4K by DALSA at the Paramount Ranch. The Origin 4K camera has been used successfully to shoot several productions including "Postcards from the Future," directed by Alan Chan, and most recently a project directed by Jesse Dylan featuring the pop group, "The Black Eyed Peas This article is about the American hip hop group. For the vegetable, see Black-eyed pea. The Black Eyed Peas are an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California, who have enjoyed worldwide pop success. The group is currently composed of will.i.am, apl.de. ." The Ciprico MediaVault InfiniBand Bridge and 4110 package are optimized to meet the stringent storage demands of working in a 4K format for a variety of post production applications. The packaged solution combines the InfiniBand Bridge server, which aggregates multiple 4110 RAID units, each of which has a single 4Gb Fibre Channel controller and ten non-removable disks in a compact 1U rack-mounted enclosure, into a larger, faster, easily managed system capable of delivering 20Gb performance. Benefiting this solution are the 4110 array's new expansion and RAID 6 features, which enable the connection of multiple units in a "daisy chain Connected in series, one after the other. Transmitted signals go to the first device, then to the second and so on.  A SCSI Daisy Chain Both internal and external SCSI devices are daisy chained together. " configuration, giving the user Read and Write speeds of up to 380 MB/s per interface and capacity expansion into the tens of terabytes, at the same time increasing reliability and fault tolerance to the extent of ensuring data integrity even in the event of two drive failures. The 4110 array is compatible with Apple Macintosh, Windows, Unix and Linux platforms, as well as major brands of video editing software Video editing software is application software which handles the editing of video sequences on a computer. It usually includes the ability to import and export video, cut and paste sections of a video clip, and add special effects and transitions; and it sometimes includes the , capture/playback hardware and post-production software. "Ciprico is pleased to team with DALSA to provide a robust solution to deliver data storage for this real-time 4K configuration," states Mike Anderson, Chief Engineer for Ciprico. "A variety of applications including digital intermediates, real-time 2K and 4K color correction, scanning and recording for visual effects and a full-range video versioning will be aided greatly by the new expanded options and features of the MediaVault family. DALSA is a proven world leader in developing imaging technology and Ciprico shares a vision to deliver reliability, performance and value. We look forward to NAB attendees seeing first-hand the digital media palette that is at the center of the artist's ability to create, manage and archive their content." Deanan DaSilva of the DALSA Special Projects Team which tested the Ciprico products concurs, "We see an increased demand on the production and post production sides for 2K and 4K and storage has been one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. Out of all the storage vendors we considered, Ciprico is uniquely attuned at·tune tr.v. at·tuned, at·tun·ing, at·tunes 1. To bring into a harmonious or responsive relationship: an industry that is not attuned to market demands. 2. to where the industry is headed. Recording in 4K requires a high performance RAID solution with multiple high-speed drives recording in parallel. Since 1.2 Gigabytes per second fills a Terabyte of storage in less than 15 minutes, the storage component must be large as well as fast. The Ciprico InfiniBand Bridge and MediaVault(TM) 4110 combination meets the challenge."
