ISIS | 1000 ensures client media due times, delivering predictable performance and more media streams per ISIS Storage Engine in even editing-intensive environments.
Streamlined usability, making it possible for non-technical professionals to set up, use, and manage the system.
Support for real-time SD, HD, 2K, and 4K media performance.
ISIS | 1000 puts an end to the storage sharing and media copying shuffle of using individual USB, FireWire, eSATA, and Thunderbolt drives, allowing up to 24 editors, assistants, loggers, and other contributors to access media at the same time.
