Who likes to disk optimize? Anyone using Windows knows to plan for the regular defragmenting of drives. The size of media files used in post storage systems makes such optimizing time-consuming.

Bright Systems offers a useful technology to handle those low-level disk optimization tasks. Its BrightClip intelligent data-recording approach more or less guarantees that file sequences and media streams are laid down in the most optimal pattern onto drive storage systems, something that's especially important in multiprocess workflows where media moves between various software apps.

Not only is the technology used in Bright Systems' own storage offerings, but it has been turning up in other companies' products. Companies offering products that support the new BrightCliptechnology include Arri, ThomsonGrass Valley, da Vinci Systems, Digital Video Computing, and DrasticTechnologies. www.4bright.com
