XDT Pty Ltd will be demonstrating its new slingshot™ technology.

slingshot™ v1.0 is a high performance, networked, file data replication and streaming tool.

Features include:

  • Immediate gains utilising existing infrastructure.
  • Scales linearly with infrastructure improvements.
  • GUI and command line clients for file replication.
  • Makes high performance local arrays accessible remotely up to the arrays maximum bandwidth.
  • Utilise up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to saturation in a point-to-point data transfer with speeds of up 400 MB/sec.
  • Standalone operation (serverless) for immediate use.
  • Results are substantial even for single Gigabit connected commodity desktop systems
  • Windows, Linux and Mac support.
  • Also supports 10Gb Ethernet or the latest 10, 20 and 40 Gigabit Infiniband interconnects

flipstream™ v1.0 is a slingshot™ accelerated frame review application easily capable of streaming 2K resolution 10-bit frames directly from a centralised server.

Typically, for uncompressed real time review, a studio relies on either a shared SAN connected review system or copying the relevant frames to the local storage array on a dedicated review system. The first method requires a powerful, concurrent IO SAN, the latter a lengthy data transfer. Neither is cost effective in both time and money.

flipstream™ eliminates uncompressed frame duplication to a dedicated high end review station and instead allows any user with a standard workstation1 on the same network to directly stream frames from a slingshot⢠enabled Network Attached Storage (NAS) system2.

Features include:

  • Windows, Linux and Mac support.
  • Multiple uncompressed formats: cineon, dpx, tga and tiff
  • Multiple bit depths: 8, 10, 12, 16
  • Real time 3D LUT support.
  • Common infrastructure: 1, 2 and 3 simultaneous GigE interface support.
  • High performance RDMA fabric support: 10Gig Ethernet and InfiniBand.
  • Instant review of rushes and dailies from any standard workstation
