For assistant editors and media management

Every take, every version,
found on the first search.

Gateway searches the SAN, cloud buckets and LTO tape at once and hands back the exact version with its checksum and metadata attached. Lens shows you the frame in the browser, Fabric confirms it is current and not superseded, and Nexus makes sure the proxies actually landed whole. No hunting across drives, no half-ingested media, no launching a specialist app just to eyeball a frame.

The daily friction
✗I've got three drives and a cloud tab open and I still can't tell which cut the director actually signed off on.
✗The proxies half-copied overnight and I won't find out until I'm mid-conform against missing frames.
✗I just want to look at one frame and I'm launching a whole specialist app to do it.
What changes for you
01

One search, not a scavenger hunt

Ask once and Gateway searches the SAN, cloud and LTO tape together, then returns the exact file with its checksum and metadata. The hunt across three drives and a cloud tab stops being how you find a take.

02

Current, not a lookalike

Fabric flags current versus superseded at a glance, so the selects you pull are the ones that are actually live, not last night's render or an earlier pass that looks almost right.

03

Check a frame without leaving the browser

Lens previews about 140 formats in place, from camera RAW, EXR and DPX to broadcast masters. Confirm the take without opening a specialist app. Video previews read about 50x lighter than a full fetch in our tests, so scrubbing a fresh drop stays fast.

04

Media lands whole or not at all

Nexus assembles proxy and conform media atomically with checksum verification on intake, so a frame sequence is either fully in or flagged. You never start a conform against media that quietly dropped frames overnight.

Gateway

Type what you're after and Gateway searches the SAN, cloud buckets and LTO tape at the same time, then hands back the exact version with its checksum and metadata attached. No more three drives and a cloud tab open, hunting for the right cut by hand.

Lens

Check any frame straight in the browser. Lens previews about 140 formats in place, camera RAW, EXR and DPX through broadcast masters, so you confirm the take without launching a specialist app. Video previews read about 50x lighter than a full fetch in our tests, so scrubbing a fresh delivery stays fast.

Fabric

See current versus superseded at a glance, so the version you pull for the cut is the one that is actually live, not an earlier render or a lookalike from a prior pass. The selects you conform against are the right ones, confirmed, not assumed.

Nexus

Proxy and conform media assembles atomically with checksum verification on intake over Aspera or S3, so a frame sequence is either fully in or flagged. You never start a conform against media that half-copied overnight or arrived with gaps.

A day in the life

Pulling selects for tomorrow's cut, without the hunt

STEP 01

Find the version, don't dig for it

You need the approved take and its selects. One search in Gateway reaches the SAN, cloud and LTO tape together and returns the exact file with its checksum and metadata, instead of three drives and a cloud tab open side by side.

STEP 02

Confirm the frame in the browser

Lens previews each result in place, camera RAW, EXR, DPX or broadcast master, so you eyeball the take without a specialist app. Fabric confirms it is the current version and not something superseded, so nothing stale slips into the cut.

STEP 03

Ingest the proxies whole

Nexus pulls the proxy and conform media in atomically with checksum verification, so the sequence is complete or flagged before you touch it. The conform starts against media you can trust, not one you have to spot-check frame by frame.

Questions
How do I find the right version of a shot across the SAN and cloud without hunting?

Ask Gateway once. It searches the SAN, cloud buckets and LTO tape at the same time and returns the exact file with its checksum and metadata, wherever it lives. You stop opening three drives and a cloud tab one by one to reassemble a set of selects by hand, and the checksum tells you it is the file you think it is.

Can I check a frame without opening a specialist app?

Yes. Lens previews about 140 formats right in the browser, including camera RAW, EXR and DPX, broadcast masters and audio, generated in place wherever the file sits. You confirm the take on sight with no download and no round trip to a finishing app. Video previews read about 50x lighter than a full fetch in our tests, so a fresh vendor drop still scrubs fast.

How do I know I've got the current version and not a superseded one?

Fabric flags current versus superseded at a glance, so you can tell whether the file in front of you is the live version or an earlier pass. That is how you avoid conforming last night's render or a lookalike into the cut when the deadline is on top of you.

How do I make sure a proxy or conform drop ingested completely before I conform against it?

Nexus ingests frame sequences atomically with checksum verification on every file over Aspera or S3, so a sequence lands whole or it is flagged before it reaches your timeline. You never quietly conform against media that dropped frames overnight. The fastest way to see it on your own media is the four-week pilot: one production, read-only, findings in your own numbers.
