CatDV is easy to set up, intuitive to use and is the ideal tool to log and archive all your media, particularly in a mixed environment with Final Cut, Avid and Premiere.

Marquis - Media Highway Technology

Avid and Final Cut Pro editors now have an alternative to costly production storage when laying off large edit sequences. Cache-A archive appliances provide edit workflows with a simple-to-use networked archive solution while Marquis Parking allows the editor to continue to work within the intuitive user interface of the edit system and to lay off works in progress or completed edit sequences. With a simple drag and drop, Marquis Parking consolidates and moves all the sub-clips of Avid edit sequences and Final Cut Pro timelines to Cache-A appliances as a background task.

This tight integration between Marquis Parking and Cache-A archive appliances allows editors to archive off a master reference copy of a finished edit. Or simply review and collect material that may be needed later for another project.
