ATTO Technology Demonstrates Thunderbolt Technology for A/V Environments at IBC
Amherst, NY (September 7, 2011) – ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments, today announced its support for Intel’s Thunderbolt™ technology. Prosumer and Professional storage providers offering storage for demanding post-production and broadcast applications that require managed latency and data protection while maintaining stream counts can explore Thunderbolt connectivity solutions at ATTO’s stand at IBC 2011 held September 9-13 at the RAI Conference Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Hall 7, stand F41. For years, typical eSATA, USB 2.0 and FireWire interface performance has maxed out at approximately 200 MB/s. Combining ATTO innovation with Thunderbolt technology gives prosumer and professional editors the ability to achieve performance levels up to 1000 MB/s of bandwidth. In addition, performance of this magnitude has been out of reach for laptop and all-in-one users looking to edit multiple streams of uncompressed HD video. ATTO’s Thunderbolt solution allows them to achieve speeds closer to those attained on desktop workstations. "Thunderbolt is an exciting proposition," said Timothy J. Klein, president and CEO at ATTO Technology, Inc. "It offers up to 10Gb performance to platforms that traditionally have not had access to this level of bandwidth, including laptops. We are committed to ensuring that RAID and storage connectivity products are available to providers that need them." ATTO FastStream™ 3800 series RAID Storage Controllers provide Thunderbolt™ technology to SAS/SATA HHD or SSD drives. Ideally suited to be embedded into four to eight drive enclosures, the FastStream RAID Storage Controller enables high performance with managed latency while providing JBOD or RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 protection. Additionally, ATTO’s Advanced Data Streaming™ (ADS) latency management technology provides smooth data streaming to maintain the highest consistent performance, while DriveAssure™ keeps drives running longer, offers full performance during drive rebuilds and immediate access to storage while initializing a RAID set, giving users the most out of their Thunderbolt connection. ATTO ThunderBridge™ 1800 series Thunderbolt technology products use ATTO’s intelligent Bridging Architecture™ to enable basic, cost sensitive plug-and-play connectivity products with low overhead to SAS/SATA HHD, SSD or Tape drives. When embedded in 1, 2 or 4 drive enclosures, the ThunderBridge enables high speed connectivity to these devices without the need for user intervention. "ATTO is well positioned to offer advanced building blocks for Thunderbolt technology-enabled storage," said Jason Ziller, director of Thunderbolt marketing at Intel. "Mobile media creators and SMB customers will continue to have more storage solution choices as companies like ATTO continue to innovate." ATTO’s history of providing Mac® users access to high performance connectivity solutions continues with this new feature. As all new Macs feature Thunderbolt, ATTO remains dedicated to making the latest technology available to this market. "As the leader in storage connectivity for the media and entertainment market, ATTO understands the needs of our users and is proud to give Thunderbolt providers access to our technical expertise," added Klein.

Safe Harbor Computers to Exhibit at 2011 IVA Filmmakers Expo
Waukesha, WI – June 7, 2011 – Safe Harbor Computers, a leading supplier to video and 3D animation professionals, today announced that they will be exhibiting at the 5th annual Illinois Videographers Association Midwest Expo, June 28, 2011. Demonstrating unique features of the Atomos Ninja, alongside the power of Safe Harbor’s custom-built Tsunami and Mac Pro workstations, attendees will experience hands-on benefits of the latest hardware and software. The Atomos Ninja, a rugged and portable 10-bit field recorder for video cameras and DSLRs with HDMI, will be mounted to a Sony video camera for demonstration purposes. The battery-powered unit takes the live uncompressed HDMI feed from a camcorder and saves it to a 2.5" hard drive in the 10-bit ProRes format with 4:2:2 quality, bypassing the compression cameras use when saving HD video to tape or memory card. The captured ProRes files can then be immediately edited in Final Cut Pro without Log and Transfer or any type of transcoding needed. The ProRes clips will also play in Premiere Pro CS5.5 for PC users. Functionality will be demonstrated on both platforms. Also featured will be Safe Harbor’s custom built Tsunami workstations powered by Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 and NVIDIA Quadro by PNY. The Mercury Playback Engine at the heart of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 is NVIDIA GPU-accelerated, 64-bit native, architected for the future—enabling users to work more fluidly on projects in SD, HD, 2K, 4K, and beyond. Safe Harbor staff and experienced video editor Jeff Pulera will be available for questions as he demonstrates this powerful setup with the Atomos Ninja. An Apple Mac Pro workstation will also be on display with unique configurations tailored to specific editing needs. Literature, raffle prizes, exclusive show specials and coupons will be available to all attendees at the Safe Harbor booth. Jeff will also be discussing the various performance levels of Tsunami and how Safe Harbor can work with customers to meet specific needs and budgets. Show attendees will be able to visit the booth, talk with video professionals, and learn how the Atomos Ninja, with an optimized workstation from Safe Harbor, helps to maximize production workflows.
