The illustration above depicts a complete file-based Digital Intermediate (DI) workflow utilizing the Lasergraphics Director film scanner, the Producer 4 film recorder, and Quantel's Genetic Engineering teamworking technology.

The Director pin-registered film scanner can output multiple simultaneous DPX & QuickTime image file streams at over 9 frames per second.  However, a high-performance storage sub-system is required to keep the scanner operating at full speed.  Quantel's Genetic Engineering teamworking technology allows the scanner and workstations to share the storage sub-system.

In this example, the Director film scanner is connected directly to Quantel's shared workspace via 10Gb Ethernet to Quantel's Sam CIFS Server.  The Producer 4 film recorder is connected directly to the Sam CIFS Server via standard Gb Ethernet.

As a result of close vendor cooperation, it is now possible for the Director film scanner to send image files directly into the shared workspace so that creative work can begin immediately and concurrently, without unnecessary and time consuming copy operations.

This proven multi-workstation configuration dramatically lowers overall system costs and improves efficiency while still allowing for future expandability.  For more information about the Genetic Engineering teamworking technology visit Quantel.
