In the Assimilate area (Renaissance Hotel suite) at NAB, Globalstar will debut its ExtremeStor-DI REDe. The product represents the latest within Globalstor’s ExtremeStor-DI product line to offer compatibility with RED Digital Cinema cameras.

The ExtremeStor-DI REDe features Dual Quad Core processors that are optimized for uncompressing and playing back RED camera footage as a high-resolution 2K image within real time at 24 frames per second. Available in a 24-drive, 5U that offers up to 24TB, the ExtremeStor-DI REDe is also available in a 10-drive tower for up to 10TB. It also includes the Nvidia Quadro FX 4600/5600 by PNY professional graphics board (optional Nvidia Quadro FX 4600/5600 SDI available by PNY). 



According to Globalstor president Scott Leif, the ExtremeStor-DI REDe presents a way for professionals to streamline the production process. “The RED camera is becoming the preferred format for today’s film production. Globalstor prides itself in providing our customers with new solutions while continuing to develop products that evolve along with the industry’s ever-changing technology and equipment preferences.” 



He adds, “Our new ExtremeStor-DI REDe, when equipped with Assimilate's Scratch software, allows producers and directors to not only view what was captured but also apply color grades directly to the footage and make adjustments at will at 24 frames per second.” 



Prices for ExtremeStor-DI REDe start at $17,042 for the 10-drive tower with a base capacity of 2.5TB.
