Data Management Systems

Here is how this works in practice. On-set data running in Ireland routes through TVM Ireland Dublin and Pyramid Camera Dublin DIT carts built around 1RU Mac Mini M2 Ultra. MacBook Pro M3 Max, and Promise Pegasus R8 RAID arrays paired with Codex Compact Drive readers for Alexa 35 and Mini LF. Sony SxS and AXS readers for Venice 2, and RED MINI-MAG readers for V-Raptor 8K. This includes the workhorse stack used across Banshees of Inisherin, Foundation Apple TV+, Vikings Ashford, and Normal People HBO.

Here is the short of it. Pomfort Silverstack, ShotPut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve handle checksum verification, dailies grade, CDL generation, and show LUT running with triple-redundant backup to LTO-9 18TB tapes. Dailies workflows route through Egg Post Dublin (the top Irish post house running Banshees of Inisherin and Vikings Ashford) and Windmill Lane Dublin (Foundation Apple TV+ and Normal People HBO) for same-day dailies turnaround.

Here is the breakdown. LTO archive routes through IFI (Irish Film Institute) and IFA (Irish Film Archive) for long-term preservation tied to Section 481 deliverable needs. Camera originals. Project files. Metadata packages archived on LTO-9 tapes with full Dolby Vision and HDR10 grade information captured during dailies. Northern Ireland productions through Titanic Studios route data via Yellowmoon Belfast and Stargazer Post Belfast for dailies. With cross-border secure courier handoffs to Dublin post houses under the Common Travel Area frictionless border.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. When specialty media readers or extra LTO drives aren't held in Dublin or Belfast stock we cross-border to ARRI Rental London or Pinewood London under the CTA frictionless border (no carnet for UK gear). Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing dictates IP-rated DIT tent staging, climate-controlled cart enclosures, and silica desiccant in media storage for the wet Atlantic frontal weather October through March.
