Xiying Digital Media is a state-owned film and television media base invested billions of yuan by the state. It is affiliated with one of the four major group companies in the national film industry layout, Xiying Group. Xiying Group has cultivated a large number of film artists, including Wu Tianming, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Huang Jianxin, and is known as the cradle of the "fifth generation directors".
The Xiying Digital Media Base has strong capabilities in pre planning and development of film and television, producing multiple films and documentaries such as "Qian Xuesen", "The Origin of Journey to the West", "Flying to Luding Bridge", "Red Sorghum", and "Thousand Year Shaanxi Cuisine".
The amount of pre filming materials for film and television dramas and audiovisual programs is huge, including shooting clips from various angles and lenses. In order to obtain high-quality materials, the filming team will use multiple cameras to shoot simultaneously and adopt a repeated shooting method to ensure the best performance and visual effects can be captured. These materials will then be edited, colored, and modified by the post production team to form the final film, television, or audiovisual program works.
How to efficiently store and ensure security of these massive materials? Xiying Digital has chosen Xinyun SSP00G high-performance 10 Gigabit fiber optic shared disk array to cope with data storage and production pressure this time.
Storage backup and data classification
All materials will be saved on the Xinyun SSP00G storage device and backed up multiple times. This can prevent accidental data loss or damage, such as hardware failures, human errors, or natural disasters.
We will classify and organize materials based on different roles, scenes, shots, etc. By naming each file, marking key information, and adding descriptions, it can be convenient for later search and use.
Graded permission protection
Control permissions on materials, only authorized personnel can access and operate them. This can prevent unauthorized modification, deletion, or disclosure.
Xinyun SSP00G can set read, write, and delete permissions for different departments and users, and provide permission protection for particularly important material files or editing drafts, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access and use them.
Monitoring and logging
Xinyun SSP00G has a monitoring storage system that can record access and operation logs. This helps to detect abnormal behavior in a timely manner and track potential security issues.
Xiying Digital chooses Xinyun's pure 40Gb 10GB storage solution to handle large-scale 4K video materials. The high-speed network storage ensures that there is no lag or delay when uploading, downloading, and transferring large 4K video files.
#01 "Storage Capacity"
4K video files are usually very large, and they have higher resolution and higher image quality. Therefore, when performing 4K video online editing, sufficient storage capacity is needed to store these large video files. If the storage capacity is insufficient, it may limit the number of clips and the scale of materials involved in the process,
The Xinyun SSP00G comes standard with an SFF-8644 expansion port, which can be flexibly expanded at any time when the main storage space is insufficient, without worrying about the data storage pressure caused by the continuous growth of material scale in the future.
#02 "Storage speed"
When performing 4K video online editing, it is necessary to quickly read and write a large amount of video data, involving the processing of multiple sound and image tracks, such as sound effects, music, subtitles, and special effects rendering.
Xinyun SSP00G provides multiple 40Gb 10 Gigabit fiber channels, providing faster data transmission speed. It can simultaneously connect multiple workstations for high-speed processing of audio and video editing, and maintain smooth operation when processing high-resolution videos. It can support smooth multi track 4K material online editing, with smooth data reading and writing without lag, ensuring smooth video preview, editing, and export processes.
#03 "Real time preview and automatic saving"
4K video editing requires real-time preview and replay functions, so that editors can accurately adjust clips, trim shots, and add special effects. Automatically save work progress during the editing process and provide version control function to facilitate backtracking and restoring previous editing states.
Xinyun SSP00G can store materials and edited works in a centralized way. When multiple modifications are needed, materials can be directly obtained from the storage, or after the special effects are completed, the color mixing personnel can directly retrieve materials from the storage for the next operation. After the operation, materials can also be automatically saved in the storage.
