The VES/Delta is the heart of an editing workflow solution.

The next step in the Workflow evolution would be the linking of your workstations to a centralized media storage and project server. It involves storing all of your media files and project data in a data protected central hub that allows multiple workstations to feed seamlessly. The media and project data are protected by redundancy against the unpredicted drive failure.

The workstations see the hub much as they might recognize another drive in their system.... the flow of data is immediate and unconstrained. Much more akin to having an extra internal drive. A special data controller acts as our "traffic cop". Although any workstation can view any project (read only), only one workstation would have read/write permission at a time. This prevents two editors from accidentally overwriting each other’s work on the same timeline at the same time!

Should a workstation develop hardware issues, the Editor need only move to a different edit bay to continue working! It is as simple as LOG OFF and then LOG ON.

A facility could also design Edit Bays of different levels of utility. For instance, smaller rooms would accommodate the individual Editor while a larger, more posh environment would be available for "client" interaction. Even a Screening Room could be equipped to project work in progress.

The best thing is that you do not have to make final decisions before you are ready. Our editing workstations are editing solutions, and will adapt as your operation grows.

Financing: Individuals and small operations are encouraged to lease, rather than buy, in order to preserve their working capital and take advantage of tax incentives. For example, financing a workstation for 36 months lease-to-own (no residual buy-out) works out in the range of $300-ish per month. We work with a number of leasing companies that can provide flexible terms for small companies, or special contracts for municipal, state, or federal institutions.

Software Compatability: The VES/Delta was built for Avid Media Composer and Avid Liquid, but can easily handle any of the popular PC based editing platforms from other vendors (such as Adobe, Sony, Canopus).

One of the nice things about our units is that you can maintain Media Composer and Liquid on the same machine! Editors (and those teaching editing) can work with whichever application is appropriate for the situation.
