DigitalGlue, systems integrator and on-premise managed storage provider, announces that it received two notable awards at the NAB Show. Their creative.space platform was presented with a 2022 NAB Show Product of the Year Award in the Overall Storage Category and the first-in-the-industry B4 to RF mount, co-developed with Breakthrough Photography for Red Digital Cinema Cameras, won ProductionHUB’s 2022 Award of Excellence. “We are honored to be acknowledged as innovators in the media and entertainment space with both of these awards,” says Sean Busby, President at DigitalGlue. “We are not just another storage vendor, and the recognition received throughout the show reinforces that the industry is ready for what we believe to be the new future for video storage.”
NAB Show Product of the Year Award winners were selected by a panel of industry experts in 15 categories and announced in a live awards ceremony at the NAB Show on April 26. “creative.space is a first-of-its-kind on-premise managed storage platform offered as an all-inclusive service, bundling next-generation hardware, comprehensive software, and support with proactive monitoring into one monthly or annual price,” DigitalGlue’s announcement states.
Managed storage is designed to eliminate the need for advanced technical knowledge. Built-in LDAP User Authentication, FTP, mDNS, and VPN servers are controlled through a user interface designed to turn each creative.space system into a datacenter-in-a-box, to enable creative teams to collaborate with a single turnkey solution. “The 2022 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards honor innovative breakthroughs that will change the way the media and entertainment industry creates, connects, and capitalizes content,” says NAB Executive Vice President of Global Connections and Events Chris Brown. “This year’s winners can help storytellers at all stages of the content lifecycle meet the challenges of today and tomorrow and revolutionize the content industry.”
The ProductionHUB Awards of Excellence
ProductionHub, a global network of film, video, TV, live event and post-production professionals, have recognized exceptional technological innovation and practice. Their award recipients are “trailblazers in technological growth, products that help streamline workflows for film and video production, as well as advance the art of cinematography,” according to the announcement. “The invention of the B4 to RF
mount saves DigitalGlue customers money by allowing them to purchase and use a Red camera without needing new lenses which are the most expensive part of the cinema camera assembly,” the release continues.
This advancement is designed to give broadcasters the ability to shoot both live and recorded cinematic images and to maximize their current investment in broadcast B4 lenses with a single camera. The B4 Mount was also created to enable video teams to extend their overall investment in the Red Digital Cinema ecosystem by allowing them to utilize their existing RF and PL based lenses, extending the overall investment in the RED Digital Cinema ecosystem. DigitalGlue is an official Red Digital Cinemas systems integrator.
