Web:            www.dynamicdrivepool.com
As a worldwide first, Ardis Technologies has succeeded in developing
their RAID based storage system, the DynamicDrivePool as the basis
for project and file level sharing between video, audio and film post
production applications from different manufacturers at very high
bandwidths using standard Ethernet providing users with simultaneous
read and write access to the same drive/volume. A file locking and
delete protection mechanism prevents unaccidental erasure of data.
Applications from Avid, Apple, Digidesign and others can instantly
share media and projects. Because the DDP uses the special iSCSI
technology the bandwidth of a DDP is more then 3x times higher then
any competing NAS-bases system. Furthermore the DDP bandwidth can
compete with that of the best fibre channel system around but without
the complexity often experienced with installing and maintaining such
systems.

capabilities. Experts can interactively control the system: 3D-
elements such as arrows, player highlights, or the offside line are
integrated directly into the scene and move perspectively correct
when the camera position changes. In "What-If"-analyses, the position
of players in the scene can be changed or players can be removed in
order to focus on important parts of the scene. No additional
infrastructure (e.g. calibration heads) is required in the stadium.
