The WaveCart makes it easy for colorists to grade raw camera and stereoscopic video. It has plenty of desktop real estate, while it’s designed for easy mobility in the field. Card-based workflows are quick and simple, making it easy to generate on-set LUTs for monitoring. The on-board mass storage device, the SuperSAN, uses RAID6 dual-drive redundancy for maximum data rate and reliability. Its file-sharing software allows for connection of many SAN clients to a single <a href="www.assimilateinc.com.>SCRATCH cart, so back-up and color correction can take place simultaneously. The SuperSAN centralizes data and improves disk bandwidth for working with native Raw files on-set, so production can review and adjust the days media in its true form.
The WaveCart has large inflatable wheels for going up and down stairs and over rough terrain. Hydraulic poles keep it from snapping shut, and the entire interior is lined with soft packing foam. Inside is the latest SAN-ready Intel MacPro computer with <a href="www.assimilateinc.com.>SCRATCH <a href="www.assimilateinc.com.>Lab, allowing MPEG4/H.264 with audio for streaming to iPad and iPhone, DVD dailies, and Avid OP-Atom MXF output.
