This event provides an exceptional opportunity for professionals in the media and entertainment industry to experience firsthand the enhancements made to Facilis' Shared File System HUB software, hardware, and FastTracker Asset Management solutions.

Jim McKenna, Chief Marketing Officer at Facilis Technology, highlighted the importance of NAB Show New York 2024 as a vital platform for impactful interactions and exciting demonstrations. “NAB brings out quality industry people who know what they’re looking for,” he stated. “This year we can show them a new way to work more efficiently, along with tools that will advance and automate their creative workflows.”

Here are some of the unique innovations Facilis is showing at NAB Show New York 2024:

• Facilis FASTCache Remote Workflow Accelerator
  • The release of Facilis HUB version 8.3 enables local data caching on any workstation attached through the Facilis Shared File System to a Facilis HUB server. Whether attached to the LAN, using standard VPN or our high-performance WANLink connectivity for remote access, data can be cached on local SSD/NVMe to deliver real-time performance with high-bitrate formats. Invisible caching preserves project collaboration and eliminates cumbersome cloud-synchronization workflows. Facilis is the only on-premises shared storage system to offer this advanced feature.
    
• Facilis FastTracker Version 3.8.1
  • FastTracker introduces sub clip encoding and Avid-native MXF proxy generation, as well as support for RED and BRAW file formats for thumbnail and proxy generation. FastTracker also now includes file-attachment functionality for tracking script and rights management documents on any indexed record.
    
• Facilis HUB Version 8.3
  • New Remote Admin Console application – a secure way to call the Admin console from any connected client with the proper credentials.
  • Improved Active Directory integration enhanced Security Authentication via Kerberos ticket validation.
  • New color-coded capacity display and SMART Data reporting.
  • Language localization feature that enable users to customize the interface.
