Iodyne introduced the Workflow Kitchen, a hands-on educational initiative aimed at post-production professionals navigating the growing complexity of on-set and studio data workflows. This live demo space paired Iodyne’s Pro Data units with real-world creative tools to illustrate best practices across ingest, editorial, color, and finishing.

iodyne's Pro Data storage solution transforms onset data management with 48TB of RAID-6 encrypted storage that connects to multiple computers simultaneously while delivering 5GB/s transfer speeds without compromise.

Data Workflow Reinvented: iodyne's Pro Data eliminates common bottlenecks by supporting multiple computers accessing the same media files simultaneously

The system features 12 SSDs in RAID-6 configuration with encryption that doesn't impact performance. Instead of traditional NAS solutions requiring IT staff and complex networking, Pro Data presents as a standard hard drive through a custom NVMe driver that delivers exceptional speeds—up to 3GB/s on a single Thunderbolt connection.

• Four computers can connect to a single unit, with customizable access rights between machines

• Encrypted data remains accessible at full speed without password prompts after initial setup

• Self-serviceable design allows for easy SSD replacement if failures occur

Tethered Production Advantages: Pro Data enables direct camera-to-storage workflows that eliminate card offloading entirely

The system can be tethered directly to cameras like RED, capturing footage straight to the RAID array without intermediate card handling. This approach streamlines the entire production pipeline while providing built-in redundancy.

• Supports continuous recording from multiple cameras simultaneously

• Allows immediate multi-user access to footage for editing, proxies, and review

• Can handle up to 28K video streams without performance degradation

Beyond Traditional Storage: Pro Data represents a shift from conventional production storage to integrated workflow solutions

While standard external drives require separate backup systems and offer no protection, Pro Data integrates redundancy, encryption and multi-user access in a field-ready package. For virtual production environments, it can replace more complex storage infrastructure entirely.

• Smaller virtual production stages can run directly off Pro Data instead of traditional NAS

• Custom driver enables multi-pathing on Thunderbolt for maximum performance

• Provides the speed of local storage with the collaborative benefits of networked solutions
