Experience the Avid advantage
While you don’t need an Avid product to use ISIS | 1000, you gain several benefits if you do. With Media Composer, you can share bins and projects with other Media Composer editors to collaborate on sequences, so you don’t have to copy files or start from scratch. If you’re working on video projects in Pro Tools, you can store audio and video on ISIS | 1000 to protect and optimize your media. ISIS | 1000 also uses Avid Intelligent Architecture to deliver the best performance, efficiency, and reliability when used with Media Composer and Pro Tools.

Get real protection you can rely on
Protect your media with storage trusted by an industry. With its high-quality hardware and patented data distribution/redistribution technology, ISIS | 1000 protects your data like no other, safeguarding your media in the event that one or even two drives go down, enabling you to retain real-time performance, with automatic drive rebuild. And because the file protection system is media-aware, rebuilding only your actual stored assets instead of the entire capacity of the disk, bit-for-bit, repair times are radically faster—especially when drives aren’t at full capacity.

Experience exceptional performance
ISIS | 1000 empowers every contributor across the entire production, enabling projects to move in parallel and be completed faster. Through patented technology, ISIS | 1000 ensures client media due times, delivering incomparable, predictable performance and more media streams per ISIS Storage Engine in even the most editing-intensive environments. And you can quadruple your bandwidth—from 300 MB/s up to 1,200 MB/s—by employing up to four Engines.
