LucidLink Filespaces: The Future of Cloud Storage Streaming for Teams

LucidLink Filespaces provides an infinitely scalable, centralized data repository in the cloud that can be accessed instantly from anywhere. LucidLink works on any major operating system. The client can be installed on any server, laptop or workstation and mounted as a local volume. As a mount point on a server, LucidLink provides a standard directory structure and instant access to data for all of these different services that could never be seamlessly integrated. LucidLink allows AJA, Diskover and Telestream’s GLIM and Vantage servers located in different parts of the world to easily access data and work together.

Telestream GLIM helps creative professionals view high-quality media files quickly and color-accurately through any web browser—without generating a proxy file. With direct access to and ability to launch the player in AJA Diskover Media Edition, professionals can now easily view and validate files residing on-premises or in cloud storage indexed by Disker Media Edition as associated metadata. All files are displayed with SCTE-35 markers, waveform view and audio metering to ensure standards compliance for any user, anywhere on the fly.

Users can now select files and send them to an on-premises or cloud-based Telestream Vantage system to create proxies or transcode the assets, regardless of the location of the user, the file, or the Vantage system. In conjunction with the AJA Discover Media Edition global index, the plug-in accelerates workflows by eliminating round-tripping between applications and optimizing files.
