Data Dynamos! The newG-SPEED Shuttle fromG-Technology comes in two versions and offers bags of storage capacity, making it the ideal choice for location or studio-based filmmakers with a
high-res workflow W ith 4K and latterly 8K shooting becoming capacity on the go is more crucial than ever. Enter the new G-SPEED Shuttle from G-Technology, the new 4-bay version of the highly rated 8-Bay Shuttle XL, and this powerful new piece of kit comes in two versions, offering ultra-portable RAID for location or studio-based professionals that are operating a high- res workflow. Ev Series Bay option The G-SPEED Shuttle with ev Series Bay Adapters offers up to 24TB of transportable storage, and is compact enough to pack for a location shoot. Optimised 4K and 8K support allows high dynamic range (HDR) and high frame rate (HFR) footage to be saved to a single location, while the device also comes with the bandwidth necessary to edit multi-camera footage in real time, render multilayer effects and quickly export in an efficient workflow. Meanwhile, with hardware, RAID 0 is offered out of the box and the device also supports RAID 0, 1, and JBOD to provide a versatile and flexible storage solution. With massive files becoming the norm, the transfer rate speeds of up to 500MB/s that the G-SPEED Shuttle with ev Bay Adapters device offers is crucial, and it enables content to be quickly ingested and footage to be natively edited in real-time. Meanwhile, with two increasingly commonplace, the need for vast storage
ev Series bays on-board, there’s a flexible way to quickly offload media from a wide range of ev Series drives and readers, including the same Atomos, C-Fast and RED readers as its 8-Bay big
brother. Combined with two removable Enterprise-class hard drives and a five-year limited warranty, the device delivers reliable, high-
performance storage that can match the scale of even the most full-on of professional productions. There’s also the potential to daisy- chain up to five additional devices via dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, ensuring that the filmmaker can be connected to multiple drives, 4K displays and more through a single connection to their computer. Heavy-duty option If you require still more power and speed, the G-SPEED Shuttle with Thunderbolt 3 offers up to 48TB of capacity combined with transfer speeds up to 1000MB/s. Sharing many of the features of its sibling, the device is similarly built for ease of transportation, while being fully capable of coping with the most demanding of workflows. Built for multi-stream 4K and 8K production workflows, the G-SPEED Shuttle with Thunderbolt 3 offers the bandwidth to support multi camera editing in real time and to render footage with multi-layer effects, and quickly export in an efficient workflow.
