Push assets faster to a central facility, or
for multi-site collaboration, from within the Nara interface;
Ngenea for Nara plugin enables a more efficient workflow to
maximize productivity, lower costs, boost creativity
pixitmedia, a subsidiary of Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris:
ALKAL) specializing in storage and data management solutions for
the Media & Entertainment industry, announced that it has
integrated its flagship data acceleration platform, Ngenea®, into
FilmLight’s Nara media tool. By enabling media professionals to
instantly push assets from point A to B directly through the Nara
interface, the new Ngenea for Nara plugin maximizes efficiency in
moving image content creation, further streamlining workflows for
video and film projects, and freeing time for heightened
creativity.
pixitmedia is showcasing Ngenea + Nara at IBC 2024 Amsterdam,
September 13 – 16, in its booth at Hall 5.H79.
FilmLight, maker of the Baselight grading system, offers Nara to
enable integrated media access, streaming and indexing to
streamline workflows and enhance collaboration. Managing file
access and security is an ongoing challenge that can constrain
efficient workflows and storage resource budgets. With Ngenea
integrated into Nara, editors, colorists, visual effects (VFX)
artists, cinematographers and directors boost productivity across
the most demanding use cases in their workflows.
The Ngenea for Nara plugin enables media professionals to
orchestrate production assets between sites and storage classes
using Ngenea in real-time, avoiding the delays and bottlenecks that
impede efficient workflows. It allows users with Nara to push
assets to a central facility instantly – or, when Nara is deployed
across multiple locations, to move assets in line with the
workflow, or following talent across geographies.
“We launched Nara to empower our customers by boosting their
efficiency and creativity, and pixitmedia’s Ngenea for Nara plugin
fully supports this mission,” said Sam Lempp, Nara’s head of
business development. “We’re delighted to be working with
pixitmedia on this Nara and Ngenea integration and to be able to
offer our customers yet another efficient workflow tool which will
further boost their productivity.”
Built on a foundation of pixitmedia’s underlying
software-defined storage platform, Ngenea enables customers to
accelerate the processing of their data and streamline complex
workflows.
Compatible with both on-prem and cloud environments, Ngenea,
enables teams to stream in real-time to Nara’s powerful playback
engine or for content delivery either internally or to secure sites
of collaborators. Users can automate the process of selecting
individual shots, and orchestrate media using Ngenea to any of its
supported storage targets, including S3 and most NAS filer, without
leaving the Nara interface. Working directly in the web browser,
media professionals unlock new levels of agility, backed by the low
latency performance needed by Nara to stream and encode in real
time to a Nara client.
“pixitmedia is committed to doing whatever it takes to support
media & entertainment teams in working at peak efficiency with
their preferred solutions,” said Eric Baissus, CEO of Kalray,
parent to pixitmedia. “The Ngenea for Nara plugin helps media
professionals to make the most of their existing technology
investments so they can save time, lower costs, and deliver
exceptional creative work.”
The Ngenea for Nara plugin is available now from pixitmedia. For
