ティ・アイ・ディ Company Profile

TID Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Takeshi Takeuchi; hereinafter referred to as TID) announced that it has successfully played back 8K uncompressed video in the editing environment of Full Score Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Ichiro Shimada; hereinafter referred to as Full Score) using the top-of-the-line rack-mounted model "A16S3-PS" from the ExaSAN series of PCIe-connected disk storage manufactured by Accusys in Taiwan. In this verification, under the provision of Full Score's environment and comprehensive technical support, TID connected four A16S3-PS units in parallel to the editing machine and striped them to create a single volume exceeding 200TB, which was used as storage for 8K video. As a result, a measured value of approximately 6,400MB/s was recorded, and playback of 8K 60P uncompressed video was successfully achieved. This success demonstrates that high-definition video editing and playback systems, which have traditionally relied on relatively expensive all-flash storage for 4K and 8K, can also be realized with inexpensive storage equipped with SATA HDDs, significantly expanding the options available to video production companies.

T.I.D. Corporation has announced that it will begin selling the Thunderbolt-only model "A08S2-TS" of the PCIe storage ExaSAN series from Taiwan's Accusys company in Japan starting today. The newly released A08S2-TS is a dedicated Thunderbolt model that provides storage performance exceeding 1000MB/s in real-world tests for Mac Pro and MacBook Pro systems that do not have PCIe slots. TID plans to accelerate the adoption of this Thunderbolt-only storage among sales partners and end-users in industries that handle large volumes of data, such as image and video editing, printing, and academic research institutions. Additionally, TID has previously sold ExaSAN units equipped with uniquely aged SATA HDDs, but in conjunction with this announcement, it has decided to also offer the tower/box-type models for sale without the drives. This will expand product selection for end-users, allowing for flexible product choices based on required storage capacity and reliability, from small post-production studios to large environments needing file sharing.

TID Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Takeshi Takeuchi, hereinafter referred to as TID) announced that its PCIe-SAN switch "SWF16," which incorporates SAN file sharing software as a new product in the ExaSAN series, has been adopted by RAWESOME! Division of Eikyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as RAWESOME!) and is being used in an actual video editing environment. Traditionally, building a SAN file sharing environment required the introduction of an MDC as a dedicated management server. The PCIe-SAN switch SWF16 reduces hardware costs by incorporating SAN file sharing software, making it easier to set up a SAN file sharing environment. Additionally, by adopting a buyout licensing model, it significantly lowers running costs. The introduction to RAWESOME! was supported by both King Tech Co., Ltd. and Wise Corporation, who assisted in equipment selection and implementation support, and has been in use in a real environment for over six months for verification purposes. As a result, the stable operation in an environment where content such as movies and television programs are produced and edited has been confirmed, leading to this announcement.
