Audio/Video Streaming
With the capacity to store hours of A/V streams, the
4big Quadra has been developed to suit the demands
of digital content creators, such as editors who work
with Apple
®
Final Cut Pro
®
. It comes with eSATA and
FireWire 800, so you can get the highest bandwidth. FireWire or iLink
DV cameras can be chained via FireWire, helping you make the most
of your equipment if your number of open ports is limited. When used
in RAID 0 or RAID 5, the 4big Quadra supports multiple audio, DV, SD,
and HD streams, and up to one stream of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC
video in playback. Greater performance can even be achieved when
connecting several units together to a multilane eSATA four-port host
adapter, in order to support multi-stream uncompressed 10-bit 1080i
HD post-production.
Photography / Pre-Press / Imaging
Configured in secured RAID mode, the 4big Quadra can
archive and protects hundreds of thousand of raw photos
with comfortable speed for imaging experts, such as Apple
Aperture
®
and Adobe Creative Suite
®
specialists. This makes it
a fantastic tool to produce and manage professional projects
and artwork. The LaCie Shortcut Button on the front of the 4big
makes it even easier to open or back up your favorite libraries
with a push of a button.
Backup, Restore, and Recover
The 4big Quadra comes with Genie
®
Backup Manager Pro for
Windows
®
and Intego
®
Backup Manager Pro for Mac. This software
enables you to reliably and efficiently back up your documents, emails,
settings, or other digital assets. With its ease of use, you can schedule
and customize the type of backup you create. Ideal for creative
professionals, the Genie and Intego programs can easily find previous
versions of your documents and restore them. With computer recovery
options, professionals will be able to restore their configuration and to
go right back to work in the event of a disaster with their workstation.
