In today's era where digitalization is sweeping across the film and television industry, the demand for high-performance and highly stable storage devices in post-production has become an indispensable part of the creative process. In this issue, we are honored to invite renowned producer Chan Tzu-Yi and senior editor Tse Ping-Ching to share their valuable experiences and insights using Accusys Gamma Carry in professional production processes.
The Evolution of Storage Solutions: Meeting New Editing Demands in the Digital Age
"Imperfect Us" producer Chan Tzu-Yi shares that since their work on "Listen Before You Sing," the team has placed extreme importance on selecting storage devices. During the production of "Imperfect Us," they introduced the Accusys Gamma Carry array system, solving long-standing file storage challenges. "The production scale of a modern series episode now equals that of a film, with massive and complex file volumes. Workflows today often require multiple professional applications running simultaneously, significantly increasing storage performance demands." Ms. Chan emphasizes.
Mr. Tse, a senior editor, shares his professional insights: "I've used many hard drive brands on the market. In the early days, I had brand misconceptions, but now I place more importance on system stability." Mr. Tse recalls previously stacking hard drives to pursue speed, yet the system still frequently crashed. "Since beginning to use Gamma Carry for 'Imperfect Us,' we haven't encountered any problems." This outstanding stability allows him to focus entirely on creative expression during long editing sessions rather than being disturbed by technical failures.
As the industry transforms from traditional large studio models to distributed production across independent production studios, storage device requirements have evolved accordingly. "Current footage volume might be three or four times what it was before," Ms. Chan points out. "While emphasizing timeliness and work efficiency, shooting volume continues to climb, placing unprecedented high demands on storage devices."
Perfect Balance of Speed and Cost: A New Choice for Film and Television Production
The Gamma Carry - PowerPack from Accusys integrates Seagate's innovative Mach.2 dual-actuator technology, bringing breakthrough progress to desktop storage. This technology configures two independently operating actuators in a single hard drive, enabling simultaneous processing of multiple data requests, enhancing I/O efficiency, and achieving at least a 30% performance improvement in practical applications. With the prevalence of AI servers and increasing data volumes, PowerPack not only provides high-speed data access but also ensures processing efficiency and reliability, bringing users data autonomy and comprehensive storage solutions.
When we shared the Accusys Gamma Carry - PowerPack solution with Mr. Tse, he showed great interest. This technology reaches speeds of up to 2600MB/s, yet is more cost-effective than SSD. "I'm very much looking forward to opportunities for cooperation in applying this technology," he stated. "The ability to balance speed, capacity, and price is a tremendous advantage for studios engaged in long-term documentary production."
The experiences of these professional creators highlight the critical impact of high-performance storage devices on film and television production. Particularly when processing 4K or even 8K high-resolution materials, traditional storage solutions often struggle to meet the demands of real-time access and high-speed transmission. Accusys' product line is designed specifically to address these challenges, offering comprehensive solutions from single-machine operations to multi-person collaborative environments.
For large film and television projects, simultaneous operation by multiple people has become the norm. The ability to allow directors, editors, and special effects artists to access materials simultaneously significantly improves work efficiency, which is one of the advantages that Accusys products provide. Through high-speed, stable data access and sharing mechanisms, creative teams can collaborate seamlessly, simplifying complex post-production processes and allowing creativity to extend infinitely.
Empowering Creators, Co-Creating a New Era of Digital Film and Television
As digital film and television technology continues to innovate, professional creators' demands for storage devices are becoming increasingly refined. Accusys promises to continuously listen to the genuine needs of professional users, developing innovative solutions that better align with the post-production ecosystem, providing solid technical support for Taiwan's film and television industry. As Ms. Chan stated at the end of the interview: "Good content is always unbeatable, and cutting-edge technical equipment is the key driver that helps creators focus on producing quality content."
In the future wave of digital film and television creation, high-performance, highly stable professional storage solutions will not only serve as technical tools but also as important partners in unleashing creative potential. Accusys will continue to support film and television creators with innovative technology, jointly promoting the industry toward a new era of digital film and television characterized by higher quality and greater efficiency.
