ALEXA XR Module Workflows - White Paper Page 9 of 9
Vault Setup
The Vault S Process base unit can be used to clone Capture Drives over to Codex Transfer Drives or an
optional RAID protected internal storage. Cloning creates verified, identical copies and maintains the VFS.
The Vault can also generate a number of different deliverables to connected shuttle discs. The base unit can
be expanded by adding different modules to optimize the performance in different production environments.
• The Vault S Storage expansion unit provides 7 TB of additional RAID protected storage, which can
be used as intermediate storage for data prior to archiving and/or file generation.
• The Vault S Archive expansion unit contains two LTO5 drives for automated offloading to LTFS
tape (Linear Tape File System).
Depending on the amount of footage per day, the internal RAID storage provides enough space for a few
shoot days worth of ARRIRAW footage. This gives a production a few days buffer to confirm that the material
is OK before the storage needs to be cleared.
Scaling your Workflow
To overcome a situation where you will be faced with more footage than a setup can handle, the obvious
solution is to add a second setup. Sometimes, it may be more beneficial to combine setups including a
Single Dock and a Dual Dock or a Dual Dock and a Vault, and to use the different feature-sets to distribute
the workload.
Sometimes (not even related to the amount of footage) higher efficiency may be gained by splitting tasks
between location and post production. One example would be creating multiple deliverables for editorial,
dailies projection, streaming on the web, iPad, etc., which can be done more efficiently using a dedicated
dailies tool. Archiving to LTO tape also does not necessarily need to happen on location, especially if
postproduction is close by and possibly connected over e.g. 10 Gig Ethernet.
