Cloud Dock 2
Share disks over 10G Ethernet for editing and global media sharing!
Blackmagic Cloud Dock 2 lets you share up to 2 independent 2.5 inch disks over a high speed 10G Ethernet network. Just plug in SATA HDDs and SSDs, or extreme performance U.2 disks for incredibly fast file reading and writing. You can also sync files globally using Dropbox and Google Drive sync and view all storage, connection and sync activity in real time on a display connected to the HDMI monitor port. Blackmagic Cloud Dock 2 has 2 10G Ethernet ports and an Ethernet over USB-C port in a half width, single rack unit, making it highly portable network storage that’s perfect for high end film and television use.
Blackmagic Cloud Dock lets you mount media disks from cameras and directly share your media files globally with editors and colorists over a fast 10G Ethernet network without waiting for files to copy! The Blackmagic Cloud Dock syncs and shares media from any SSD disk with Dropbox and Google Drive. It even understands proxy workflows, so a whole timeline and its media can be shared in minutes. It features high speed 10G Ethernet connections for extremely fast file access, even with multiple users connected. File access is very low latency, so responsiveness is fast. That’s why it's the perfect solution for sharing media files between editors, colorists, audio engineers and VFX artists!
Designed for Film and Television
Blackmagic Cloud Dock will transform customer’s work! It's perfect for film and television because you can record onto SSDs including the super fast U.2 NVMe disks and then use the Blackmagic Cloud Dock to make the disks available on the network for multiple editors and colorists to use. Depending on the brand of SSD used, it even handles massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital cinema files! SSDs such as the latest 7mm U.2 NVMe disks are super fast, delivering data transfer speeds of up to 900 MB/s! Dropbox and Google Drive sync allow you to place docks in different locations so everyone can have a fast local copy of their files. Then each location gets the fastest editing experience possible.
Two Great Models!
Blackmagic Cloud Dock 2
Share up to 2 independent SSDs or U.2 disks on your network. Includes 2 x 10G Ethernet ports and HDMI for status monitoring. Dropbox and Google Drive sync allow the distribution of files globally.
Blackmagic Cloud Dock 4
Share up to 4 independent SSDs or U.2 disks on your network. Includes 4 x 10G Ethernet ports and HDMI for status monitoring. Dropbox and Google Drive sync allow the distribution of files globally.
Compact Rack Mount Design
Blackmagic Cloud Dock features a compact rack mount design so it is easy to install in a studio with other network equipment or in a DIT cart on-set to immediately mount and share camera files with editors and colorists globally. It features up to four SSD slots so it can host separate SSD disks on your network at the same time. 10G Ethernet ports means you get extremely high performance. There is also an HDMI monitoring output so you can watch a live graphic view of the storage operating on a TV or monitor. Each slot has an LED status light that shows disk activity, so you know when the disk is being accessed. Plus it’s easily repairable with each card slot using an individual PCB assembly!
Live Sync to Dropbox
Now you can setup a local cache of your Dropbox and Google Drive files! This makes working much faster because files are instantly available without needing to be downloaded from the internet. Blackmagic Cloud Dock will constantly work to stay in sync. You can save space on your computer by moving cached Dropbox and Google Drive files to the Blackmagic Cloud Dock so everyone on your network can share them. You can even sync multiple Blackmagic Cloud Dock models via Dropbox and Google Drive so people in different geographic locations can collaborate without latency because everyone has a local copy of the files. That makes it a perfect home or offsite solution.
1. Add Cloud Service
Make sure your Blackmagic Cloud Dock is connected to the internet. Enter in your Dropbox or Google Drive account details, so the Cloud Dock can gain access to allow sync.
2. Set Sync Folders
Next you need to set the sync folders. That tells the Blackmagic Cloud Dock where to sync its files to the remote Dropbox or Google Drive. You can have multiple sync folders for different jobs!
3. Set Sync Direction
Now set the sync direction. One direction is good when you have local files you want to share, but not enough room for everyone’s files. Both directions means everyone gets the same set of files.
Distribute Files Globally
With support for Dropbox and Google Drive sync, you can use multiple Blackmagic Cloud Dock units to share files globally. That’s important when working with large datasets or massive digital film and video files. These files need to be constantly accessed dozens of times a second, so most internet connections are too slow to handle it. While the internet has too much latency to access large files remotely, you can use it to sync these files. Syncing the files to local storage totally eliminates delays in accessing them. That's because everyone has a local copy of the files on their network. Blackmagic Cloud Dock will constantly sync files, even if your computer is turned off!
Mount and Share Media instantly
Get high end digital film and broadcast workflows by connecting SSDs recorded on camera to a Blackmagic Cloud Dock! This lets multiple DaVinci Resolve workstations access the recorded files instantly, without any file copying! DaVinci Resolve is a free download and allows you to edit and color the camera files. That’s a fantastic workflow solution when using Blackmagic URSA Mini cameras, which can record to SSD disks using URSA Mini Recorder. Cloud Dock uses PCIe Gen 3 so it’s insanely fast at copying files from disks and ideal for quickly off loading media from multi-camera shoots. So you get a perfect workflow solution for independent film production and it’s perfect for multi-cam editing!
Real Time Monitoring
The most exciting feature is the HDMI monitoring output! Simply connect a TV or computer monitor to get a live status of the Blackmagic Cloud Dock! The storage map shows a graphic representation of the total SSD capacity and real time read and write access happening for the connected users. It’s quite mesmerizing to watch! There are also graphs that show you the data transfers on the Ethernet connection. The main space indicator shows you the capacity of the SSD disks and how much is currently being used. You can also add a custom name to the Cloud Dock! The status for each Dropbox and Google Drive connection is also shown. It's even possible to see connected users and the power status.
High Performance 10G Ethernet
The Blackmagic Cloud Dock has up to 4 high speed 10G Ethernet ports, which is only found on expensive workstation computers. With 10G Ethernet, you get 10 times the speed of regular Ethernet. Plus most computers can be upgraded to add 10G Ethernet! The Blackmagic Cloud Dock is so fast, it will run the 10G Ethernet ports to their maximum capacity. Even when connected to an Ethernet network with dozens of users accessing files at the same time. The Ethernet also features very low latency for fast access times. That’s similar performance to expensive business SANs but in a low cost design that you can install yourself!
