The company will be introducing all new flash products that will deliver bandwidth and IOPS speeds in excess of existing Archion EditStor solutions and other flash solu- tions within a comparable price range. The company will be using workflow applica- tions such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, Blackmagic Resolve and more, to demonstrate the capabilities of Archion's EditStor models in handling demanding workflows, such as 4K DPX. Archion will also be showcasing its new networked user interface (UI) for EditStor, which was based on feedback from Archion's clients and their requirements for collaboration and ease within their workflows. The whole UI has shared group control custom features like changing volume names and description of shares that are updated to all users. While exist- ing HDD based solutions such as EditStor Omni and EditStor Velo deliver industry leading speeds and overall price and performance, Archion's all flash solutions will deliver the performance required to handle the next generation of 4K, 8K and 360-degree workflows.

SQUARE BOX'S NEW CATDV OFFERINGS WHITE PLAINS, NY — The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) (www.smpte. org) has announced that Emmy and Academy Award-winning visual effects supervisor Robert Legato will present the keynote at the 2017 NAB Show's "The Future of Cinema Conference: The Intersection of Technology, Art, & Commerce in Cinema," produced in partnership with SMPTE, during the 2017 NAB Show. The conference is taking place April 22 and 23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Legato will present "Jungle Book, Photorealism, and the Bright Future of Filmmaking" on the second day of the two-day conference, which also will feature sessions delving into how technical innovation, artistic intent and evolving consumption and business models will interact to shape the future of cinema. With computer simulations becoming so accurate, it is often diffi- cult for even the most seasoned pros to distinguish the difference between an effect and the real thing. Drawing from his experiences working on ac- claimed titles such as The Jungle Book, Titanic and Hugo, in which Legato won Academy Awards for, Legato will explore the distinction between visual effects and 'traditional' cinematic disci- plines, such as direction, cinematogra- phy, production and design.
