What are new possibilitieswhen you combine Mac and Windowsworkflows on Pro Data?

Pro Data significantly savestimeand simplifiesthe workflows of teams that capture data on Macs and do anything else GPU intensivesuch as rendering environments for virtual production, photogrammetry, 3D animations, or major picture editingon Windows. 
 
BAFTA award-winning production studio, Atlantic Productions, who has produced projects in collaborations with BBC, Meta and other major broadcasters and streamers, field-tested Pro Data Windows support on a recent project they ingested on Macs and edited on PCs.“Wetook over 15TB of video media, including 8K ProRes Proxy, 8K H.265, and 12K BlackMagic Raw files, and processed up to 27 mags on Pro Data. We relied on Pro Data’s speed for the edit, as our files—even in proxies— are enormous. We also need cross-platform functionality, high speed, and security for our partners,” said Steve Cullen, Head of IT, at Atlantic Productions.“The[iodynePro Data] form factor is a huge advantage on a location relative to other solutions we’ve tried in the past. The great thing about Pro Data now that we own them is the ability to reuse them on other projects once we’re done with this one.”
 
Before Pro Data, the go-tooption fora multi-OS workflow wassetting up a NAS. Thisis slow, luggable,and not portablefor teams that need extra mobility, and flexibility to get the final cut to the finish line. Pro Datanow bringsThunderbolt speedsalong with ease of use to Windowsworkflows. Really anything that’s GPU intensive can now be liberated by Pro Data.
 
Easily transfer the front-end creative work done on Macs, to the rendering power of yourWindows machines, harnessing their massiveGPUs. Pro Data empowers thenew world of cross-platform workflows. Arnold, Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, After Effects, Corona, Octane, Redshift, Unreal Engine, V-Ray, Omniverse, Unity, Real, Autodesk, Premiere…theycan nowall run faster and better with Pro Data.
