ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE | SAMSUNG
KEEPING UP WITH THE FLOW DOP Tim Sutton is looking to adopt the new wave of full-frame sensor cinema cameras but increased data rates need reliable solid state drives like Samsung’s Portable SSD T5
Tim. “The speed of transfer is the obvious headline but buying drives from the brand also fills you full of confidence. I also love the form factor, how lightweight and portable they are. I see a Raw workflow being considered more and more – especially when the Samsung Portable SSD T5 removes a barrier to the unlimited flow of data. “The insurance policy aspect of using Samsung SSDs is a big part of the appeal for me. Apart from the obvious freedom a Raw workflow gives the image, often one of the main barriers to a Raw workflow is the sheer quantity of data and the time it would take to wrangle it – but an SSD workflow at affordable prices and capacities from 250GB to 2TB makes it viable.” FULL-FRAME Tim is adopting the new wave of full-frame sensor high-end cinema cameras which
THROUGHOUT THESE ARTICLES we have highlighted the huge advantages that the Samsung Portable SSD T5 brings to the pro video world, however there is one advantage that is repeated again and again: time. Time is money and freeing it up relieves stress and moves the weakest link in the chain to a different area. The transfer speeds of these drives enable massive changes in the way productions work and dropping them in to production chains rewrites work practices. The world of high-end cinematography is about to change with the introduction of full-frame sensors with Raw workflows. Both will increase data amounts. Consequently DOP Tim Sutton sees data transfer as a problem: “My cameras’ sensors are getting bigger, my camera cards are getting bigger, the data rates we create on set can become unwieldy and that happens quickly. “I had heard about the advantages of the Samsung Portable SSD T5,” continues
“When someone shows you a Samsung Portable SSD T5 you want one”
