Video Storage and Asset Management

Having an alternative to your server storage and broadcast automation system is critical to protecting your video assets and reducing manpower needs as a result of a catastrophic failure.  You may have spent hundreds of hours converting your videotaped programs into MPEG2 files and one major failure in your server can potentially destroy all of that work.  Protect yourself by taking one or more steps to create a safe, secure archive solution.

Digital Archive Unit

Synergy Broadcast's Digital Archive Unit or DAU is a NAS-based solution that is tightly integrated with the Synergy Broadcast Television Automation Software.

The DAU operates similar to Networked Attached Storage but includes our Media Archive and Restorer software.  As files are encoded they are automatically transferred to the DAU.  As files are needed for playback the system will automatically locate the file and restore it to the server for playback.  As an additional feature our ArcMan BackUp Utility can be configured to scan and any network locations that may contain video and automatically transfer those files to the DAU thus saving time and manpower.  The ArcMan software is fully configurable to work with any potential storage locations within your network such as NLE's and other storage arrays.

DAU units are available in 8, 16 and 24 drive configurations with capacity ranges from 500G hard drives to 1.5TB hard drives.
