Plus you don't need IT consultants as it's easy to use. There's even an HDMI monitor output! Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is the perfect solution for storing and sharing files on your network.

Designed for Film and TV Post Production

 

Designed for Film and Television

Blackmagic Cloud Store is the perfect storage solution for film and television. It’s designed to handle the large media files used in film and television where multiple editors, colorists, audio engineers, and VFX artists all work on the media simultaneously. It even handles massive 12K Blackmagic RAW digital film files! Each user gets zero latency and they don’t need to store files on their local computer. That’s perfect for DaVinci Resolve! Plus Blackmagic Cloud, Dropbox, and Google Drive support allows media to be synchronized to different locations globally so each location gets the fastest editing experience possible. It’s also perfect for live replay with DaVinci Resolve 19.

 

Post Production

Perfect for post-production, you get the speed to handle massive digital film files and lots of simultaneous users. Plus Blackmagic Cloud sync downloads proxy files in seconds, followed by camera RAW files. Even from remote cameras on set.

 

Replay

Build a live replay solution using multiple HyperDecks recording over a network to Blackmagic Cloud Store, while DaVinci Resolve powers the playbakc. DaVinci Resolve 19 has new replay features that can also upload replays as social media posts.

Blackmagic Cloud

Blackmagic Cameras can upload to the Blackmagic Cloud website as they shoot. This means you get clips delivered right into the DaVinci Resolve bin. Blackmagic Cloud Store constantly syncs media so everyone on the network can access the latest shots.

Compact Desktop Design

Portable and Quiet Design

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini features a compact rack mount design that's very portable and whisper quiet. Internally it has an array of 4 flash memory cards working in parallel for higher speed. The 10G Ethernet port and the 1G Ethernet port operate as a 2 port network switch. That’s great if you don't have a 10G Ethernet network, as you can connect the 10G port directly into your computer and the 1G port to your existing network. If you need to access files quickly, then the USB-C even operates as a network connection, simply by plugging it into your computer. There is also an HDMI monitoring output so you can watch a live graphic view of the storage operating on a TV or monitor.

 

Flexible Power

An IEC power socket is included for connecting AC power. All international AC voltages are supported so you can use it globally. Plus there is a separate DC power input for redundancy or battery use.

10G Ethernet

The 10G Ethernet port allows high speed computers to be connected. It's fast, even when lots of users are connected at the same time. It’s perfect for connecting to the latest 10G Ethernet switches.

1G Ethernet

The 1G Ethernet connection is provided for slower connections such as the internet or slower computers. It is part of the built in Ethernet switch and helps keep the faster 10G port free.

USB-C Connection

The USB-C port supports Ethernet for connecting it to your computer to access files. That’s possible because there is a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in! USB-C is also used for settings and updates.

HDMI Monitor Output

The HDMI monitor output lets you see the status of your Cloud Store Mini in real time. Simply plug in a TV or monitor. You can see a storage map, speed graphs, sync, active users and power status.

M.2 Flash Memory in RAID 0

 

Flash Memory Allows Multiple Simultaneous Users

Blackmagic Cloud Store models feature large parallel flash memory cores with lots of space for your media files. That’s fantastic for film and television production as you get high performance, large capacity, all in a portable design. M.2 flash memory cards are used for extreme reliability, high access speeds and zero seek times. The Mini model has 4 x M.2 cards and the Max model has 12 x M.2 cards arranged in a massive parallel RAID 0 group for extreme performance. That ensures enough speed to keep up with dozens of users. Only this massive parallel memory core has enough speed for large banks of HyperDeck recorders and dozens of editing workstations, all operating at the same time.

10GbE Connectivity

 

High Performance for Digital Film Files

With a separate very high speed 10G Ethernet connection, Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is very fast. The internal memory core has been designed to saturate the 10G Ethernet port to its theoretical maximum speed, even with multiple users connected. It’s so fast, most computers cannot keep up! Plus file access is very low latency, so responsiveness is fast. That’s possible because of the parallel processing used by the memory core. Even at maximum speed, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is extremely quiet with very little cooling fan noise. Even when editing large 12K digital film RAW files. It’s so fast, multicam editing is very smooth, even if it’s used with large digital film camera files.

Compatible with Dropbox

 

Sync to Dropbox

Now you can setup a local cache of your Dropbox files! This makes working much faster because files are instantly available without needing to be downloaded from the internet. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini will constantly work to stay in sync. You can save space on your computer by moving cached Dropbox files to the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini so everyone on your network can share them. You can even sync multiple Blackmagic Cloud Store Minis via Dropbox so people in different geographic locations can collaborate without latency because everyone has a local copy of the files. Dropbox is also a fantastic backup solution.

 

Add CLoud Service

Make sure your Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is connected to the internet. Enter in your Dropbox account details, so the Cloud Pod can gain access to allow sync.

 

Set Sync Folders

Next you need to set the sync folders. That tells the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini where to sync its files to the remote Dropbox account. You can also have multiple sync folders.

 

Set Sync Direction

Now set the sync direction. One direction is good when you have local files you want to share, but not enough room for everyone’s files. Both directions means everyone gets the same set of files.

Dropbox Sync Support

 

Distribute Files Globally

With support for Dropbox sync, you can use multiple Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini units to share files globally. That’s important when working with large datasets or massive digital film and video files. These files need to be constantly accessed dozens of times a second, so most internet connections are too slow to handle it. While the internet has too much latency to access large files remotely, you can use it to sync these files. Syncing the files to local storage totally eliminates delays in accessing them. That's because everyone has a local copy of the files on their network. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini will constantly sync files, even if your computer is turned off.

Real Time Monitoring Via HDMI

 

Real Time Monitoring

The most exciting feature is the HDMI monitoring output! Simply connect a TV or computer monitor to get a live status of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini. The storage map shows a graphic representation of the memory core and real time read and write access happening for the connected users. It’s quite mesmerizing to watch! There are also graphs that show you the data transfers on the Ethernet connections. The main space indicator shows you the capacity of the memory core and how much is currently being used. You can also add a custom name to the store! The status for each Dropbox connection is also shown. It's even possible to see connected users and the power supply status.

 

Usage Indicator

On the top left you can see the storage capacity indicator. The number on the left is the space used and the number on the right is the total memory capacity of Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini.

 

Customizable Name

You can give a custom name to the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini so you can identify it on the monitor display and the utility software. To change the name, just use the Blackmagic Cloud Store utility.

 

Storage Map

The storage map display shows a view of the two USB-C disks. The memory is divided into segments with reads in cyan and writes in orange. The display will automatically adapt when disks are connected.

 

 

Cloud Sync Status

The cloud sync status shows each sync folder and transfers to and from Dropbox. When new files appear in any sync folder, you can see the transfer status as they sync.

 

User Connections

You can see each of the connected users and the data transfers for each. However this list will move down if you have more cloud sync folders as the sync folder status is more important.

 

Cloud STore Mini Status

The bottom left is the hardware status. This includes the power status for the AC and DC power supplies. Plus if there are any internal service issues, they will be displayed here.

 

Speed Graphs

The lower part of the display has the data transfer speed graphs. It shows recent read and write speeds for each of the Ethernet connections. It’s great for diagnosing Ethernet speeds on each port.

10GbE Connectivity

 

High Performance 10G Ethernet

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a high speed 10G Ethernet port, which is only found on expensive workstation computers. With 10G Ethernet, you get 10 times the speed of regular Ethernet. Plus most computers can be upgraded to add 10G Ethernet. The Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is so fast, it will run the 10G Ethernet port to its maximum capacity. Even when connected to an Ethernet switch with dozens of users accessing files at the same time. The 10G Ethernet port also features very low latency for fast access times. There is also a separate 1G Ethernet port, plus Ethernet on the USB-C port, so you can keep the fast 10G Ethernet port free for a faster computer.

USB Type-C Connectivity

 

Connect via USB-C for Quick File Access

Modern laptop computers are so thin, they often don't even have an Ethernet connection! That means you need an adapter to connect to an Ethernet network. These adapters are annoying and make it harder to just plug your computer into the storage to access a file. Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini has a USB-C to Ethernet adapter built in and you can access it simply by plugging your computer into the USB-C port on the store. Plus USB-C cables are much nicer than stiff Ethernet cables! Once you have connected the Cloud Store Mini’s USB-C connection to your computer, you have an Ethernet connection to the store! That means you can just plug in to quickly grab files when you need them urgently.

Easy to Repair

 

Repairable Design for Long Life

Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is easy to repair by qualified IT engineers. The design is based on a single PCB that attaches to the 4 memory cards and the AC power supply. This means the flash memory cards can be removed and replaced. Plus Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini runs Blackmagic OS so it applies wear leveling, so each M.2 card won't see excessive data writes. You can also see any card faults on the utility and the HDMI monitor output. Plus in future, as new and larger M.2 flash memory cards are released, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini can be upgraded so it has much larger capacity. That’s possible because M.2 flash memory cards are an open standard and available from any computer dealer.

No Monthly Fees

 

No Subscription Costs

One of the big advantages of the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is it’s private storage that you fully control. There are no subscriptions to sign up for. There are no monthly license fees. There is no tracking of your usage or data. You don't even need to log into a web page to maintain the storage settings, because Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini uses a free to download software utility that runs on Mac and Windows. That means you can run a private network, totally disconnected from the internet. This is critical for many security standards where computer networks cannot be connected to the external internet. With Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini, you get performance, portability, and total freedom.

Free Software Utility

 

Free Software for Mac and Windows

When you need to change settings, you can use the Blackmagic Cloud Store utility that's available on Mac and Windows. By default, the Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini is set to DHCP, so you can connect it to your network and start transferring files. In many ways, it plugs in just like a regular hard disk. That means it's so easy to setup, you won't need an IT person to get started! However if you want to customize your network, then the utility software lets you change the network settings in the cloud store. The utility also lets you add Dropbox sync folders.

Multi Channel ISO Recording

 

Live Production Hyper

Deck ISO RecordersNow it’s easy to get high end multi channel ISO recording by recording from an array of HyperDeck recorders directly into Blackmagic Cloud Store! Plus HyperDeck Studios work in all common codecs including H.264, H.265, DNx and ProRes. HyperDeck Studio recorders now support recording to network storage so you can build an array of HyperDeck Studios that record into the Blackmagic Cloud Stores while multiple DaVinci Resolve systems can edit the same media, all at the same time. DaVinci Resolve is free to download so it’s easy to expand to as many workstations as you need. Even as the files are recording, DaVinci Resolve can still edit the media, so it’s perfect for live action replay.

Compatible with Ethernet Switch 360p

 

Add Connections with the Blackmagic Ethernet Switch

The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P is the first Ethernet switch designed for the film and television industry! It has extremely high performance plus low latency. All the Ethernet connections are on the rear, which means the cables are neater, hidden from users, and more secure. You get 16 fast 10G Ethernet ports and 2 high speed 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets for copper cables or optical fiber modules. Plus there’s a router panel built into the front so it can also be used to build small portable 2110 IP systems using a familiar video routing user interface.
