“Consumers continue to demand higher quality from their traditional
broadcast and OTT services, and Kingston is an integral part of the
media ecosystem as we power the infrastructure that brings more realism
and crystal-clear graphics to TVs everywhere,” said Keith Schimmenti,
enterprise SSD business manager, Kingston. “We are fully committed to
delivering the highest performance and most stable solutions that allow
content creators to shoot, edit and produce live and on-demand content
in resolutions up to 8K ― all while reducing the amount of CPU load on
editing bays and production workflows.”

During the show, Kingston will demo:

• A Digital Imaging Technician’s (DIT) production cart that is powered
  by a combination of Kingston Server
  Premier memory as well as the recently launched DC500
  Series enterprise data center SSDs and forthcoming U.2 NVMe
  SSDs. A DITs role on set is to monitor daily footage in real time.
  After a production wraps for the day, the dailies are downloaded onto
  a DIT’s cart before going out to postproduction facilities such as
  color and sound processing. Kingston-powered DIT carts were deployed
  on a recent award-winning Netflix television show shot on the Warner
  Bros. lot. Kingston solid-state drives greatly improved the workflow
  by reducing ingest time of the daily footage followed by duplicating
  to other drives for postproduction services.
• The company will also feature an 8K Video Workstation demo using
  “off-the-shelf” components. Real-time editing is achieved through a
  combination of U.2 NVMe and SATA enterprise SSDs, 128GB of server
  memory and an NVIDIA RTX-6000 GPU all on a Lenovo^™
  ThinkStation P710 workstation. Kingston’s storage and memory solutions
  enable consistent low-latency performance that yields zero dropped
  frames when editing 8K video in Adobe Premier Pro CC.
