New facility built around EditShare 192-TB XStream shared storage and media management platform
EditShare®, the technology leader in shared media storage and end-to-end tapeless workflow solutions, announced that Los Angeles-based ALL3MEDIA AMERICA has purchased the high-performance EditShare XStream shared storage platform for the company’s new post facility located in Culver City, California. Known for producing hit reality television programs such as “Undercover Boss” (CBS) and “The Pitch” (AMC), ALL3MEDIA AMERICA is expanding its post-production infrastructure to include 25 new Avid edit suites connected to a massive 192-TB EditShare XStream system. EditShare will serve as the new facility’s main content repository, providing key project and media sharing capabilities for editors to meet ALL3MEDIA AMERICA‘s demanding post schedule and deadlines.
“We are investing in EditShare to not only support the workload we have today, but for the growth we expect in our future,” comments Damien Frost, group IT director, ALL3MEDIA. “EditShare systems are designed to accommodate expansion. The company is known for keeping pace with industry changes, ensuring our investment can absorb new technology advancements and scale alongside us.”
“In terms of scalability, the EditShare XStream shared storage platform is ideal for fast-moving companies like ALL3MEDIA AMERICA,” comments Andy Liebman, founder and CEO, EditShare. “You can attach up to four 16-drive Expansion Chassis to an individual XStream Workflow Director for up to 320-TB in a single XStream server. And thanks to EditShare‘s Extreme Scalable Architecture (ESA), expanding XStream’s capacity into the petabytes is no more complicated than adding additional Workflow Directors to the network. There is no need to upgrade into a different category of storage server or change the way you work.”
EditShare shared storage systems leverage cost-effective 10-gigabit Ethernet technology, including 10GBaseT (10 gigabit Ethernet over CAT-6A), supporting large stream counts with simplicity. Liebman adds, “Equally as important for facilities such as ALL3MEDIA who have large Avid editing workgroups is EditShare‘s support for Avid Project Sharing. Our advanced media sharing capabilities let editors draw on the same central pool of media simultaneously and safely. They can freely share raw material, bins and sequences, irrespective of the size of the workgroup.” EditShare provides easy-to-use administration tools for configuring user rights and access privileges. No per-seat licensing removes the limits to the number of users that can access content, allowing facilities to easily scale in terms of technology and resources.
Timeline Digital Editing, a boutique equipment rental company offering expert video technical support services, is spearheading the technical installation and facility build-out for ALL3MEDIA AMERICA.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
