Z-Share II is an affordable option for smaller workgroups (2 – 4 editing workstations) that want to reap the benefits of a SAN for their post production. These include:
- No more copying files around between edit suites – everything is in one place
- The ability to seamlessly work on a project in multiple suites without shuttling media
- Universal access to shared library assets
- A centralized place for transcoding, backup and archive of assets
Z-Share was designed to be affordable, not cheap. It is based on Tiger Technology’s Tiger Store software, which we have been utilizing for over 8 years. They have a great track record of performance, functionality, and excellent post sale technical support.
