Facility Profile: Home Depot Television

By Bryant Frazer

As Home Depot Television moved toward a tapeless workflow in mid-2010, it pulled the trigger on a Harmonic Omneon system that included a four-channel MediaDeck server, 12 TB of MediaGrid storage, the Media Application Server (MAS), and the ProXplore clip-and-metadata management system.

The drives remain quite expensive compared to spinning disks, but with hard-drive prices sky-high in the aftermath of major floods in Thailand, they didn't seem quite so extravagant by year's end. Curious how the makers of increasingly mobile desktop software packages were seeing their user's experience changing, we asked reps from the big three makers of nonlinear editing software — Adobe, Apple and Avid — about Thunderbolt, SSDs, and what other storage trends they expect to make the difference for their customers this year....  »
