Powered by cutting-edge NVMe

Throughput that keeps up with modern cameras.

Ultra-fast performance for 4K and beyond. Built on advanced NVMe technology, the Field offers significantly higher throughput than traditional HDD systems. As new camera formats push data rates to unprecedented levels, NVMe's lightning-fast data access keeps collaborative editing and media sharing smooth, even at the highest resolutions.

Built for collaboration

One team, one project, no boundaries.

Share media, connect locations, and keep every editor working on the same footage at once.

Designed for teams, built for collaboration. Built-in media sharing for Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro lets your whole team edit collaboratively, without compromising speed or quality, in any environment.

Share one central pool of media. EditShare Project Sharing lets multiple editors work on the same media, and within the same project, simultaneously, including raw materials, bins, and sequences.

Impressive performance. Each NVMe drive set supports multiple streams of ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHR at various bit rates, so playback stays smooth even under a full editorial load.

Portable by design. A custom-carved aluminum chassis built to be compact, quiet, and ultra-portable, with an optional custom case for easy protection and transport.

EditShare Multi-Site

Connect locations, remove boundaries.

Send dailies back to base in no time. Multi-Site capabilities streamline collaboration across locations, securely transferring dailies or editorial footage to another EditShare facility. Built-in secure file acceleration sends large media files reliably over the internet, and end-to-end encryption keeps your project on schedule wherever your teams are located.
