LUXOR

 INTRODUCTION

 
Networking media devices such as DAW systems and HD Video players can be as simple or as complex as you make it. However, networking Pyramix systems and if required our VCube HD Video system is mostly straightforward as Pyramix and VCube are both based on a network friendly architecture since their inception.

Using our dedicated Luxor audio and video networked storage servers there is no limitation in mixing video & audio sources from any number of different locations and streaming these in real-time. This, of course gives a major advantage in environmental collaborative production and subsequent post production environments, where instant access to shared video & audio material is crucial in workflow efficiency and cost sensitive situations.

In time critical missions, we therefore expect VCube & Pyramix with their advanced architecture designed with networking in mind, to empower its users to fully exploit all the advantages of on-line shared workflow.

 KEY FEATURES

• Transparent easy connection to local or remote folders & drives.

• Seamless synchronization of any number of VCube & Pyramix for transport, zooming and editing over standard Ethernet connection, using Virtual Transport.

• Easy import of projects and media from networked 3rd party Video Editor or Server.

• Project, media or media library streaming, directly and simultaneously from any number of remote storage devices.

• Transparent integration with existing 3rd party Video and/or Audio workstations, Servers and networks.

• Based on fast, easy to maintain GB Ethernet solutions.

 PEER-TO-PEER SIMPLE NETWORK

Peer-to-peer is a small network that can serve between two and ten users in which all the computer/Pyramix systems are connected to each other without a dedicated server. This is most simplest of networking solutions allowing each user to directly access or transfer data from and to anywhere on the network.
