Blackmagic Design has released a new model of the Blackmagic MultiDock with
super fast Thunderbolt 2 technology, replacing the previous model.
Blackmagic MultiDock is a four-disk docking solution and high-speed disk array
featuring an attractive machined metal rack mount design with an easy-to-
access “cartridge’ style design that enables customers to work more efficiently
with high capacity solid state drives. Each disk dock features an independent
SATA interface chip for extremely fast data transfer speeds. MultiDock is fully
compatible with solid state disks (SSDs) recorded in HyperDeck broadcast
recorders, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera and more.
Blackmagic MultiDock uses Mac OS X and Windows driver support so SSDs will
mount like regular built in hard disks. This ensures 100% compatibility with
popular software tools including DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro,
Avid, Smoke and more.
Customers can even stripe multiple disks together and build a super fast SSD
RAID array.
“The Blackmagic MultiDock is a fantastic solution to managing storage in a busy
broadcast or post-production environment. Now with Thunderbolt 2 technology
you get amazingly fast transfer speeds of up to 20Gb/s, that’s enough
bandwidth to easily handle the highest resolution video formats.
“It’s fantastic when using disks independently or when striping them together
as a large disk array,’ says Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Blackmagic
MultiDock is an incredible solution to the problem of managing disks and the
amazingly fast transfer speeds will make editing, design and colour correction
even faster!’
