(Now With More Smarts, Less Stress — and Zero Stack Headaches)
Pixitmedia may have a new parent (hello, DataCore’s newly consolidated Pixitmedia division), but at NAB 2025, they proved they’re still one of the smartest kids in the M&E storage sandbox. Now a global organisation, but without losing their distinctly British flair for clever engineering and dry humour, Pixitmedia rolled out tech updates that hit all the right notes for studios managing everything from blockbuster VFX pipelines to tight-turnaround branded content.
And in a world where every vendor promises “flexibility” and “scale,” Pixitmedia actually delivers — with real performance, real support, and real-world integrations that work from day one. . Here’s what caught out eye:
Vision 2.0: Your Library’s New Best Friend
Let’s face it: most studios are sitting on mountains of content with metadata that might generously be described as “inconsistent.” Pixitmedia’s new search and discovery platform fixes that — with automated tagging, smart discovery, and contextual search that actually understands media. Bonus: it makes your archived assets findable, useful, and suddenly billable again.
One Stack to Rule Them All (Or None — Your Call)
Tired of duct-taping together storage, asset management, and cloud systems that barely speak the same language? Pixitmedia’s zero-stack philosophy is about true integration across file, object, and cloud tiers, making hybrid workflows smooth and reliable — not brittle and support-ticket-worthy. Whether you go full-stack or zero-stack, Pixitmedia adapts to you (not the other way around).
Remote Editing That Doesn’t Break the Workflow
Pixitmedia’s support for global collaboration workflows means editors can get to work wherever the content is located (and in many cases still being ingested). Collaborations with top-tier integrations such as Avid, Autodesk, Adobe, Projective, Iconik, and Grass Valley means you can cut, color, or conform — from wherever you are — without waiting around for manual file transfers or round-trip delays.
Ultrafast NVMe Storage That’s Actually Attainable
Need extreme performance for 4K+ finishing, VFX, or color? Pixitmedia’s new NVMe storage platform hits speeds that leave traditional storage gasping — 40GB/sec per 2U building block supporting RDMA/RoCE and top-tier performance to Windows, Linux and Mac for the highest IO and lowest latency, incorporating NVME, Object and Cloud into a single namespace. Even better? It’s easy to configure, integrates seamlessly with your existing PixStor ecosystem, and doesn’t require a PhD in network engineering.
Built for Real-World Creative Workflows
Pixitmedia isn’t just about speeds and feeds — it’s about practical workflow design. Whether you’re managing bursts of high-resolution ingest, juggling multi-app editorial pipelines, or building a cloud strategy that actually works, Pixitmedia focuses on removing friction and improving creative throughput.
