NMR to sell Atempo to digital media market

Specialist reseller NMR is partnering with data protection and archiving firm Atempo to resell its Time Navigator and Digital Archive to customers in the digital film and video content industry.
Soho-based NMR provides services and solutions to post-production houses, graphics and animation houses and creative agencies. Its customers, involved in the creation and delivery of digital film and video content, rely on NMR for the installation, integration and support of their digital video, audio and streaming media applications.
Neil Anderson, business director at NMR, explains: “With the digital film and video industry migrating to more data intensive high definition formats, most studios are now using Apple’s Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server for content creation and management. We selected Atempo’s digital archive and backup solutions because they protect and preserve valuable content throughout all stages of post-production and integrate well with Apple’s applications.”
Atempo Digital Archive can detect newly imported or ingested raw footage and automatically preserve it on the archive device, while still leaving the files in place for editors to use. The automation criteria is configurable based on policies specific to the user’s workflow, including file location, creation date, and file name or type. Then, as editors work on their projects, Atempo Time Navigator can back up data such as Final Cut Pro project files and render files. The company says this makes it easier to recover from a disk crash or an accidentally deleted project file and, with an easy-to-use interface, users can restore files themselves.
