About Atempo Digital Archive (ADA)

ADA goes beyond preservation and hierarchal storage management (HSM), to play a particularly active role in the day-to-day workflow. Today, more organisations require creative data to be retained at different stages in its lifecycle. Raw data, edited files and final projects need to be stored, as any version may need to be leveraged for future projects.

ADA’s critical integration with Final Cut Server and transparency to end-users allows those individuals to easily archive at various steps in the content creation process and pull information into and out of the archives as needed. This integration enables users to transfer fixed-content media assets stored in Final Cut Server into a wide number of long-term storage devices by simply using the native Final Cut Server interface.

About Atempo Time Navigator (ATN)

Atempo Time Navigator ensures that this valuable data is backed up and fully protected. In the event of lost or damaged files, the powerful software allows users to easily recover their project data through the simple Time Navigation restore interface. Both products are fully compatible with Mac, Windows and UNIX environments, and support the widest range of storage media in the industry.
