Why the cloud pod?

PostMon Apr 25, 2022 6:19 pm

This new item is pretty affordable and does some cool things. What does it do that we can't already do? I can plug a USB-C drive straight into my computer and sync with Dropbox over my existing ethernet today. Interested in this cloud collaboration but struggling to see what existing problems the new hardware solves.

Mainly a storage that is quick ( with multiple 10G ethernet connections) and will be able to handle editing files in resolve straight from the pod.

And looks like you can also acces those files trough there cloud system from remote by logging in to the website and have acces to files on the other side of the globe. Without paying a monthly fee for some cloud storage that lives online and will delete all your files when you stop paying ;)

OK, that last part is pretty sweet. I already edit off of a T5 sometimes so that first part isn't much of a sale. Thanks. I wish Blackmagic would make a clearer pitch for their hardware. So much of it might be useful and probably is for those who already use it but they don't really try to upsell to users such as myself.

You might just want to play the livestream were Grant tells exact how these units work and what can be done with it.. He shows it in an hour long video which of you can skip trough the first 22 minutes as it has to do about a new Hyperdeck.. ;)

From 22 minutes he starts about the POD.
