G-SPEED was all over the show floor this year at IBC 2007. Besides all our products on display at our own booth across from AJA, G-SPEED was the only Fibre Channel storage at the Blackmagic booth with four G-SPEED XL16's supporting HD and 2K systems. AJA showed the G-SPEED XL16 on a KONA3 system and a G-RAID mini on a I/O HD system. Media 100 showed their latest HD system powered by a desktop G-SPEED.


AJA Recommends G-SPEED Storage Solutions for use with KONA3. "G-SPEED XL supports all video formats up to 2K DPX sequences."

"The G-SPEED is the perfect low cost, high performance storage solution for today's post production workflows.

At IBC 2006, the RED camera project used two G-SPEEDs to play back 2k in FCP from the original 4k material using the Kona 3, and we use the G-SPEED and G-SPEED XL in the RED office for day to day high data rate needs."

G-SPEED is featured in Post Magazine's February issue in the storage editorial "Wanted: Reliable Drives."

Check out what Mike Goedecke, President of Belief in Santa Monica, CA had to say about
G-SPEED.


G-SPEED is reviewed by
Todd Sali at DV.com
.

"I did a number of tests to gauge performance, but the tests that really matter are what format you can capture, what format you can play back, and how smooth the system feels while doing it. The most important thing to me was that I could capture long clips of all flavors of HD, including 10-bit uncompressed 1080i, without a hiccup. When I played the clips back, I could fly around the timeline like it was butter-or DV."
