AMSTERDAM, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ProMAX Systems, a world leader in integrated workflow technology for creative media organizations, has began testing 25G and 100G connections with SSDs on different workstations.
Standard HD is no longer the standard resolution as video creators begin to push into 4K, 6K and beyond. As video teams move into higher resolution footage, editors will be working with larger files to handle all of the data stored in them. Larger files can lead to longer read/write times using a standard 1G or 10G connection.
The ProMAX engineering team began testing different workstations with 25G and 100G connections paired with and the results were impressive.
- The first test was a Mac Pro Trash Can with a 25GB connection and 24 SSDs which was able to produce a Read Speed of 1010 MB/s and Write Speeds of 1002 MB/s.
- The second test was a MacBook Pro with a 25GB Thunderbolt 3 connection and 24 SSDs which produced a Read Speed of 1607 MB/s and Write Speeds of 1307 MB/s.
- The final test was a Windows Workstation with a 16 lane PCIe 25GB connection with 24 SSDs which was able to produce Read Speed of 2228 MB/s and Write Speeds of 2158 MB/s.
"Being able to pull this type of performance out of a workstation is going to be game changing for video editors," said Matt Mister, ProMAX Systems. "These are sustained performance numbers that editors can expect to see throughout the editing process, not just burst speeds that only give brief performance jumps."
ProMAX Systems will be at IBC 2019 in Stand 7.D55 giving demo's of their network storage servers and media asset management software.
