High Performance Network Storage for Film and Television!

Blackmagic Cloud Store gives you high performance network storage designed for the film and television industry! Plus it understands Blackmagic Cloud media sync and supports DaVinci Resolve proxy files. This means the moment a film crew starts shooting, the camera media will sync within seconds so the post production team can start working! With an incredibly fast flash based memory core, lots of users can all work at the same time. That’s perfect for sharing large media files between editors, colorists, audio engineers and VFX artists! You can even build a broadcast replay system by connecting multiple HyperDeck recorders and DaVinci Resolve 19. There’s even a status monitor output!

Designed for Film and Television

Blackmagic Cloud Store is the perfect storage solution for film and television. It's designed to handle the large media files used in film and television where multiple editors, colorists, audio engineers and VFX artists all work on the media at the same time. It even handles massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital film files! Each user gets zero latency and they don't need to store files on their local computer. That's perfect for DaVinci Resolve! Plus Blackmagic Cloud allows media to be synchronized to different locations globally so each location gets the fastest editing experience possible. It's also perfect for live replay with DaVinci Resolve 19!

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini

High performance rack mount flash storage, features 8 and 16 TB models, 4 card RAID 0 flash memory core, 10G Ethernet, 1G Ethernet, USB-C and Blackmagic Cloud sync for distributing files globally.

Portable and Quiet Design

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini and Max models feature a rack mount design that’s very portable and whisper quiet. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is half rack width, has a single 10G Ethernet connection and features an internal array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speed. While the Blackmagic Cloud Store Max model is a full rack width design with 12 flash memory cards, an extremely fast 100G Ethernet connection and 4 x 10G Ethernet connections. If you need to access files quickly, then the USB-C even operates as a network connection, simply by plugging it into your computer. There is also a monitoring video output with a live graphic view of the storage status.

Flash Memory Allows Multiple Simultaneous Users

Blackmagic Cloud Store models feature large parallel flash memory cores with lots of space for your media files. That’s fantastic for film and television production as you get high performance, large capacity, all in a portable design. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. The Mini model has 4 x M.2 cards and the Max model has 12 x M.2 cards arranged in a massive parallel RAID 0 group for extreme performance. That ensures enough speed to keep up with dozens of users. Only this massive parallel memory core has enough speed for large banks of HyperDeck recorders and dozens of editing workstations, all operating at the same time!

Sync to Blackmagic Cloud for Global Media

Now creative teams can share a single local cache of media uploaded to the Blackmagic Cloud for a true global workflow! This makes working faster because files are distributed globally, to as many sites as you need! Blackmagic Cloud Store will constantly work to stay in perfect sync. You also save space on editing workstations because the files are downloaded to the Blackmagic Cloud Store so everyone on your network can access them. If you’re working with remote cameras, such as URSA Broadcast, URSA Cine or the Blackmagic Camera iPhone app, then these files will upload to Blackmagic Cloud and then download to the Blackmagic Cloud Store in seconds. That's also fantastic for multi site media backup!

Distribute Files Globally with Blackmagic Cloud

With support for the Blackmagic Cloud, you can use Blackmagic Cloud Stores to share media files globally. That’s important when working with large datasets or massive digital film and video files. Editing requires access to media dozens of times a second, so internet connections can be too slow to handle it. Plus the internet has too much latency to access large files remotely. However, using the internet to sync media to local storage totally eliminates delays and latency. That's because everyone has a local copy of the files on their network. With Blackmagic Cloud Store, you get constant media file sync, even if your computer is turned off!

Real Time Storage Video Monitoring!

The most exciting feature is the live HDMI monitoring output! The Blackmagic Cloud Store Max also has an SDI monitoring output! Simply connect a TV or monitor to get a live status update of the store. The storage map shows a graphic representation of the memory core in real time with reads and writes shown dynamically. It’s fun to watch! There are also graphs that show data transfers on the Ethernet connections. The main space indicator shows you the capacity of the memory core and the current usage. Plus, you can even add a custom name to the store! The status of the media sync to the Blackmagic Cloud website is also shown. Errors are shown as well, including power supply status.

High Performance 10G Ethernet

The Blackmagic Cloud Stores have very fast 10G Ethernet ports, which are only found on expensive workstation computers. On the Blackmagic Cloud Store Max, you get 4 independent 10G Ethernet ports that can all sustain maximum 10G data speeds even when all 4 ports are connected to separate computers and used at the same time. With 10G Ethernet, you get 10 times the speed of regular Ethernet. Plus most computers can be upgraded to add 10G Ethernet. The internal parallel flash storage and data pipelines are so fast, each 10G Ethernet port will run to its maximum capacity. Even when connected to an Ethernet switch with dozens of users accessing files at the same time.

Connect via USB-C for Quick File Access

Modern laptop computers are so thin, they often don’t even have an Ethernet connection! That means you need an adapter to connect to an Ethernet network. These adapters are annoying and make it harder to just plug your computer into the storage to access a file. Blackmagic Cloud Store models have a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in and you can access it simply by plugging your computer into the USB-C port on the store. Plus USB-C cables are much nicer than stiff Ethernet cables! Once you have connected the Cloud Store’s USB-C connection to your computer, you have an Ethernet connection direct to the storage! That means you can just plug in to quickly grab files when you need them urgently!

Repairable Design for Long Life

Blackmagic Cloud Store is easy to repair by any qualified maintenance engineer. The design is based on a single PCB that attaches to the M.2 memory cards and power supply. This means the flash memory cards can be easily replaced. Plus Blackmagic Cloud Store runs Blackmagic OS so it applies wear leveling, so each M.2 card won’t see excessive data writes. You can also see any problems in the software utility and HDMI monitor output. Plus in future, as new and larger M.2 flash memory cards are released, the Blackmagic Cloud Store can be upgraded so it has much larger capacity. That’s possible because M.2 flash memory cards are an open standard and available from any computer dealer.
