Protect Valuable AssetsThe LTS-60 are LTFS-based media archiving servers for LTO-5 and LTO-6 drives, respectively. Reading and writing of files on LTO tape is possible via FTP from Windows or OS X computers. An ideal small-scale archiving and backup solution.
File-based workflows using the LTS-50/60
LTS-50 and LTS-60 deployment in a network environment dramatically streamlines workflows that involve backup, archiving, or repurposing of material.
- Data backup for NLE systems
- Reuse of material on LTO cartridges (using partial retrieve)
- Management of material using MediaConcierge
- Archiving from a file server
- Exchange of material with the LTR-100HS/120HS
- Transfer of re-edited video files to the video server, reuse and so on.
- Comprehensive file backup/archiving
- The LTS-50/60 functions as an FTP server on the network, enabling Windows or OS X users to read or write any files on the unit’s LTO tape directly via FTP
- Back up project files, archive video files, or perform other tasks without file type or format restrictions
Convenient MXF file archiving
Video files in standard MXF formats (such as MPEG-2, DVCPRO, or AVC-Intra) can be tagged before archiving, enabling the LTR series video archiving recorder compatibility when stored on LTO tape
Thumbnails and proxy videos can be generated automatically from the MXF files being archived, using the optional software
With a new “partial retrieval” feature, individual MXF files on the LTO tape can be retrieved for use as separate MXF files
Complete data archiving to LTO
Archiving equipment that relies on databases or other internal file information tends to lock users into particular systems and limit LTO tape portability, making the system less versatile
In contrast, the LTS-50/60 maintains flexibility by recording all data, including metadata, to the LTO tapex1
This avoids system lock-in and simplifies data transfer in asset management and other applications
LTO duplication
LTO tapes in LTFS format can be duplicated. Optional software and an additional, external LTO drive enable high-speed copying between LTO tapes.
