SC.01 How it works

The edit suite moves to the data centre

Media and machine sit side by side on our network. Your editors see and control the workstation from wherever they are.

  1. V1 · STORE

    Storage

    Your media lives on our cloud storage in the data centre: one copy, shared by the whole team.

  2. V2 · EDIT

    Workstation

    The workstation sits on the same network as the storage, with up to 25Gbps of connectivity, so it works on full-resolution media directly.

  3. V3 · VIEW

    Remote access

    Editors connect over the internet with remote-access software. Only the picture is streamed; the media stays in the data centre.

SC.02 Why cloud

A full edit seat, wherever your editors are

  • Next to your storage

    No waiting for large media to download: the workstation reads it directly from storage in the same data centre.

  • Work from anywhere

    Editors connect from home, the studio or on location. Recommended: an internet connection of 30 Mbps or more, and a Mac or Windows computer or a thin client.

  • Footage stays secure

    Media stays in our data centre rather than on laptops and portable drives.

  • Built for editing

    Apple Mac mini and Mac Studio machines configured for film & video work, with hardware-accelerated ProRes, H.264 and HEVC, and up to a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU and 512GB of memory.

  • Managed & monitored

    We look after the hardware, so your editors can get on with the edit.

  • Scale with your projects

    Add edit seats for a busy project. It can save on software too: licences are per machine rather than per person, so editors working different hours can share a licensed seat.
