Matrox Certifies Ciprico NETarray 2215AH, Gives Creative Editors a Powerful Storage Solution for Axio HD19 April 2005
Ciprico Inc. (NASDAQ:CPCI), a leading storage solutions provider for the data-intensive and high-performance digital media markets, today announced that Matrox has certified Ciprico's NETarray(R) 2215AH for Matrox applications. Matrox is a leading designer of software and hardware solutions in the fields of graphics, video editing, image processing, and new business media.
In making the announcement, James Hansen, Ciprico President and CEO, said, 'We are pleased that the entertainment industry's leading provider of content-creation technology and delivery platforms has certified our NETarray 2215AH. This certification gives Matrox's dealer network a formidable choice for affordable, highly available, high-definition storage.'
In Matrox's testing lab, the NETarray 2215AH was paired with Axio HD(TM), Matrox's new real-time HD editing platform, and Adobe Premiere Pro. The result yielded two simultaneous streams of uncompressed HD video at 1080i 10-bit frame resolution. Matrox has a long partnership with Ciprico and has previously certified several other Ciprico products - and there are plans to certify some of Ciprico's newest products that will be introduced at NAB 2005.
'Right out of the box, the Ciprico NETarray 2215AH performed beautifully in our test,' said Marco Lopez Director of Products. 'We value our relationship with Ciprico and appreciate the outstanding performance of their products. And our dealers appreciate the comfort that comes from knowing the Ciprico products are certified.'
Ciprico's NETarray 2215AH seamlessly integrates next-generation Serial ATA disk technology with a field-proven 2Gbit Fibre Channel host interface. This reliable solution has complete redundancy throughout the system, assuring maximum up-time for the deadline-driven environments of post production. NETarray 2215AH supports the multiple topologies of Fibre Channel and operates equally effectively in direct attached or storage area network (SAN) environments.
