High Performance Network Storage for Film and Television!

Blackmagic Cloud Store are incredibly high performance rack mount network storage designed for the film and television industry! They are specifically designed for HyperDeck recorders, allowing you to edit while recording is in progress. Plus they understand Blackmagic Cloud media sync and support DaVinci Resolve proxy files. This means the camera media will sync within seconds when a remote film crew starts shooting, allowing the post production team to begin working immediately. A fast flash-based memory core allows many users to work simultaneously. Perfect for sharing large media files between editors, colorists, audio engineers, and VFX artists! There's also a status monitor output!

Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra

Extremely high-performance network storage is perfect for HyperDeck Extreme ISO. Get a 12-card RAID 0 flash memory core, 2x 100G Ethernet ports, RAID 5 support and Blackmagic Cloud global media sync.

Redundant Power
This model has full redundant internal power supplies, in addition to its upgraded thermal design. This makes it perfect for data centers, as each power supply can connect to its own power rail.

Two 100G Ethernet Ports
The two 100G Ethernet ports can be connected to HyperDeck ISO Recorders or high speed Ethernet switches. Both 100G Ethernet ports work as completely separate networks for isolation and redundancy!

SDI Monitor
On the Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra the extra SDI monitoring output has the same display as the HDMI output. This lets you use SDI monitors such as SmartView 4K in broadcast trucks or portable racks.

HDMI Monitor Output
The HDMI monitor output lets you see the status of your Cloud Store in real time. It works with a simple TV or monitor. You can see a storage map, speed graphs, sync, active users and power status!

Flash Memory Allows Multiple Simultaneous Users

Blackmagic Cloud Store models feature fast parallel flash memory cores with lots of space for media. That’s fantastic for film and television production when you need high performance and large capacity. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. Cloud Store Ultra uses 12 x M.2 cards in a massive parallel RAID 0 group for extreme performance. That ensures enough speed to keep up with dozens of users. Plus it can be reformatted to use RAID 5 if needed! This massive parallel memory core can handle large banks of HyperDeck recorders and dozens of editing workstations simultaneously.

High Performance for Digital Film Files

With very high speed 10G and 100G Ethernet connections, Blackmagic Cloud Store is very fast. The internal memory core has been designed to saturate the Ethernet ports to their theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. It’s so fast that most computers can’t keep up! File access is very low latency, so responsiveness is fast. That’s possible because of the parallel processing used by the memory core. At maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store is extremely quiet with very little cooling fan noise, even when editing large 17K digital film RAW files. It’s so fast, multicam editing is very smooth, even with dozens of connected editing workstations.

Reformat to RAID 5 on Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra model supports RAID 5 reformatting, ensuring data protection through redundant M.2 card operation. Although the flash memory is extremely reliable, reformatting to RAID 5 adds extra protection! By default, Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra will use RAID 0 for maximum storage capacity. However, by reformatting to RAID 5, every sixth M.2 card is used for parity, sacrificing some storage space for increased redundancy. The parity cards store error correction data to rebuild files after replacing an M.2 card. Plus all Blackmagic Cloud Store memory models automatically wear level, preventing excessive data writes to the same cells and ensuring longer life.

Sync to Blackmagic Cloud for Global Media

Now creative teams can share a single local cache of media uploaded to the Blackmagic Cloud for a true global workflow! This makes working faster because files are distributed globally to as many sites as you need! Blackmagic Cloud Store will constantly work to stay in sync. You also save space on editing workstations because the files are downloaded to the Blackmagic Cloud Store so everyone on your network can access them. If you’re working with remote cameras, such as URSA Broadcast, URSA Cine or the Blackmagic Camera iPhone app, then these files will upload to Blackmagic Cloud and then download to the Blackmagic Cloud Store in seconds. That's fantastic for multi site media backup!

Add Cloud Service
Make sure your Blackmagic Cloud Store is connected to the internet. Enter your Blackmagic Cloud ID account details, so the Cloud Store can gain access to allow sync.

Set Sync Folders
Next you need to set the sync folders. That tells the Blackmagic Cloud Store where to sync its files to the Blackmagic Cloud. You can also have multiple sync folders!

Set Sync Direction
Now set the sync direction. One direction is good when you have local files you want to share, but not enough room for everyone’s files. Both directions means everyone gets the same set of files.

Get Unbelievably Fast 100G Ethernet!

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max and Ultra models feature 100G Ethernet for high data transfer speeds. The Max model has 1 x 100G Ethernet and 4 x 10G Ethernet ports, all sharing access to storage as a single network. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra model is dramatically faster, with two separate 100G Ethernet ports operating as two separate networks. You can record via one 100G port from HyperDeck ISO Recorder 100G while the other port serves dozens of local edit workstations! Each 100G Ethernet port can never interfere with the other 100G Ethernet port! Plus you can break out each 100G Ethernet port by adding a Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P to get 16 separate 10G Ethernet connections.

No Subscription or Maintenance Costs

One of the big advantages of the Blackmagic Cloud Store is its private storage that you fully control. There are no subscriptions to sign up for. There are no monthly license fees. There is no tracking of your usage or data. You don't need to use a paid, cloud based web service to maintain the storage settings because Blackmagic Cloud Store includes a free software utility that runs on Mac and Windows. That means you can run a private network, totally disconnected from the internet. This is critical for many security standards where computer networks cannot be connected to the external internet. With Blackmagic Cloud Store, you get performance, portability, and total freedom.

Free Software for Mac and Windows

When you need to change settings, you can use the Blackmagic Cloud Store utility that's available on Mac and Windows. By default, the Blackmagic Cloud Store is set to DHCP, so you can connect it to your network and start transferring files. You don't even need an IT tech to get started! However, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Utility also opens up a whole range of settings you can customize, including the ability to add custom logins and passwords for each user, plus you can enable file download via FTP or web browsers. You can also update network settings and add security certificates. The utility is where you set up sync to the Blackmagic Cloud website.

Designed for Live Production with HyperDeck ISO Recorder

With 100G Ethernet ports, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra model is perfectly designed to work with HyperDeck ISO Recorder 100G for live production. That's a powerful combination as HyperDeck ISO Recorder 100G can record 8 cameras all at the same time! Files are recorded in broadcast quality ProRes for very high quality. Once you have recorded separate ISO cameras, you can edit new programming, or get live action replay with DaVinci Resolve! Even as the files are recording, DaVinci Resolve can still edit the media! Only Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra is designed for this use as one 100G port connects to the HyperDeck, while the other can connect to a network switch and editing workstations.

Add Connections with the Blackmagic Ethernet Switch

The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P is the first Ethernet switch designed for the film and television industry! It has extremely high performance plus low latency. All the Ethernet connections are on the rear, which means the cables are neater, hidden from users and more secure. You get 16 fast 10G Ethernet ports and 2 high speed 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets for copper cables or optical fiber modules. Plus there’s a router panel built into the front so it can also be used to build small portable 2110 IP systems using a familiar video routing user interface. Users won't even know they're routing SMPTE-2110! It's a simple plug and play solution with everything needed for television work!

Get Powerful Live Action Replay in DaVinci Resolve!

DaVinci Resolve has powerful live action replay features! Adding a Blackmagic Cloud Store lets you combine HyperDeck recorders, DaVinci workstations and remote cameras for an amazing live action replay system! Then the new multi source viewer allows you to browse media visually, as clips with matching timecode are displayed in a multi-view. That's perfect when shots are arriving in real time from remote cameras. New "on air" controls use a key channel to enable a downstream keyer in a switcher, so a single button can automate the play out to air. You can even add an auto stinger! Blackmagic Cloud Store has been designed to perfectly support DaVinci Resolve for live sports and replay!
