About ProMax

Founded in 1994 by Charles McConathy, ProMax Systems, Inc. has become the recognized leader in custom configured, reliable high performance video editing and storage systems. ProMax provides a complete line of configuration, installation, and support services for the video industry. Since 1994, they have gained the experience that has earned the confidence and trust of their clients through top-notch service and putting the customer first.

ProMax started with the goal of providing storage solutions aimed at the video industry to fill a frustrating gap that many early digital video systems adopters were encountering x the lack of a reliable, stable storage solution. ProMax has since developed a number of innovative and award-winning products, such as the TurboMax host bus adapter that was the first product to facilitate the use of less expensive non SCSI hard drives capable of reliably storing video.

ProMax has evolved through the years. Building relationships and working closely with some of the major manufacturers in the video hardware and software business, ProMax parlayed its expertise in the storage for video business into providing complete, custom configured video editing solutions along with their renowned storage products.

What is V-SAN?

V-SAN is the complete solution for postproduction. V-SAN offers ingest to playout capabilities and everything in between. And with all media, video clips, photos, graphics, etc. shared on a centralized, fully searchable storage network, it allows you to work faster and more efficiently than ever before imagined. And with ProMax's complete array of support options, reliability and stability of the V-SAN system are an afterthought.

V-SAN can incorporate everything you need in a complete postproduction workflow, including ingest, editing, compositing, 3D, closed captioning, encoding, DVD authoring, audio, digital asset management, playout, and data backup and archiving.

Every workstation can be dedicated, or specific capabilities can be logically combined on a single workstation depending on the needs of the individual facility and budget. This also allows for ultimate flexibility and scalability x the V-SAN can start small and grow with your needs. A few workstations and a single shared storage module can get you started, yet still allow you to add to both the workstation capabilities or increase the storage as needed. Of course, you can also get the complete V-SAN package to put your production facilities capabilities squarely into the 21st century. In most cases, it is also possible to incorporate existing editing and outboard gear right into the V-SAN.
