Quality: Because images are never compressed, Frame Thrower
does not create any visual artifacts, an important feature for those
who insist on image quality. Frame Thrower operates at the full
2048x1556 resolution which means all the pixels of a full aperture
scan are visible.
Productivity: Frame Thrower allows multiple users to load or
remove clips from the system while sitting at their workstation. This
means less wasted time waiting for the playback system to load or to
become available. Ease of Use: The web interface used by Frame
Thrower makes adding and removing clips extremely easy. The
jog/shuttle controller makes it intuitive and quick to use.
Elegance: Frame Thrower can be rack mounted and placed in a
machine room. Only a monitor and the jog/shuttle are required to
perform playback. The styling is clean and appropriate for client
presentations.
Integration: Frame Thrower provides an application programming
interface that allows it to be controlled by programs or scripts. It
can be remotely managed via a web browser. These features make it easy
to integrate Frame Thrower into a production pipeline.
Performance: Frame Thrower uses gigabit Ethernet which makes it
fast at loading images. It is compatible with Windows, Macintosh and
UNIX file servers and supports a variety of image formats. It has
ports available to allow the addition of Infiniband, 10Gbit Ethernet,
or fibre channel interface adapters.
