2006: The meteoric rise in the FBT share price finally begins

If there is a demand for gigabit collaborative editing and shared media storage, just think of the demand for such systems which operate over a standard broadband connection.

DMN Newswire--2006-12-21--EditShare, the pioneer of cross platform collaborative editing and shared media storage systems has more than tripled world-wide unit sales of their award-winning EditShare systems for the year ending 2006. To support the growing customer base, EditShare opened offices in Bejing, China and Paris, France as well as rolled out a worldwide reseller program; establishing expert sales and support for EditShare technology at locations around the world. “The EditShare philosophy has been to maximize the capabilities of Gigabit Ethernet technology even for the most complex workflows,” said Andy Liebman, CEO, EditShare. “Customers are reaping the benefits of doing SD offline, high-end SD finishing, compressed HD finishing and uncompressed SD/HD workflows using cost effective Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet solutions from EditShare. Bottom line – they are thrilled with the EditShare performance and affordable price point.”

EditShare Brings Back Innovation

The record-setting year was driven by two significant product introductions. The first release, EditShare ESA (Extreme Scalable Architecture), delivered a new architecture that allows customers to increase their storage to hundreds of terrabytes and beyond. The second, EditShare Field, is the world’s only portable shared storage system to offer Avid project sharing. These groundbreaking solutions bring significant media management and production workflow advantages to EditShare clients who continually push the limits of technology and editing environments.

Post and Broadcast Adopt the EditShare Workflow

Post and Broadcast professionals across a number of verticals have adopted the EditShare workflow. The impressive 2006 client list includes industry movers and shakers such as Cutting Edge, the largest postproduction facility in Australia; ION Media Networks, the largest television station group in the United States; ultra hip and trendy Soho based facilities Rapid Productions, Blue and Line TV to name a few. For a new product coming into an existing market, “EditShare’s centralized storage has impressed us from the moment we installed it. We’ve got two of the 3 RU EditShare Rack models and they have had a faultless run in the five months we’ve been working with them. We’re already looking forward to acquiring even bigger 5 RU EditShare Rack systems that can service 20 users simultaneously at online resolution so that we can offer our clients the best possible value for their money,” Michael Burton, managing director, Cutting Edge.
