Food for Thought: Breakthroughs in Ultra High-Speed Post

Post-Production executives, supervisors, and engineers learned about the latest developments in ultra high-speed workflows during Cutting Edge’s recent Hollywood Beer Alliance lunch at Loreley Biergarten in West Hollywood.

Food for Thought: Breakthroughs in High Speed Post was hosted by Cutting Edge’s LA manager Zeke Margolis, and sponsored by our partners at Open Drives, Arista, and Black Magic Design. Attendees learned about the latest developments in 100 Gigabit/second storage and networking for movie and television editorial and color correction workflows.
