Dittok media production technology

The TVS-h1288X enables real-time editing of 8K recordings taken with RED® cinema cameras for Dittok.

  • Background

    Dittok media production technology is a video studio in Tokyo that specializes in 8K and 4K RAW footage shooting. Kaku Ito’s work covers a wide range of fields, and he has participated in many corporate commercial shooting projects. His work is currently being broadcast on TV, YouTube, and other media. He is a video and audio professional who is active both in Japan and abroad in creating works that require high quality video and music.

  • Challenges

    As a Digital Imaging Technician, Kaku used to bring a TS-453BT3 Thunderbolt™ 3 NAS to the shooting location and would digitally develop images using a MacBook Pro and PC workstation. While he was satisfied with QNAP's solution, with the steady increase of 8K footage using multiple RED® cinema cameras, higher storage capacity is required. To meet this demand he required a NAS with higher speed and higher capacity that could tackle the editing work in the studio.

Solution

Kaku selected the TVS-h1288X, a 12-bay NAS with Intel® Xeon® W processor, as his solution. He valued both speed and data safety, so he set up RAID 5 configuration to prevent data loss in the event of drive failure. The TVS-h1288X also uses QuTS hero, a ZFS-based operating system that prioritizes data security. This NAS also comes with two 10GbE and four 2.5GbE ports as standard for high-speed network connectivity. A Thunderbolt™ 3 expansion card QXP-T32P (sold separately) was installed in the PCIe slot to enable high-speed data transfer for Mac® devices.

Results

With the high-performance TVS-h1288X, Kaku can import eight channels of multi-camera RAW recordings shot using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K to the NAS while editing and grading a full-resolution RAW data in real time with DaVinci Resolve. As centralized storage, the TVS-h1288X allows both Mac® and Windows® workstation users to improve collaboration and productivity while transferring high-resolution recordings via high-speed network ports. The TVS-h1288X has dedicated cooling for both the CPU and storage drives, ensuring that all aspects of the system are kept cool even under high load from editing workflows. Kaku backs up data from TVS-h1288X to his several QNAP Thunderbolt™ 3 NAS, including the TVS-1282T that he previously used. He is happy that archiving data has been greatly simplified, as he previously spent a lot of time backing up data to tapes, which he rarely accessed, but now he can switch data sets by simply replacing the entire hard drive. His workflows have been streamlined, and Kaku is satisfied with the results.
