SCENE 01 / DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Data Management Systems
Professional DIT services and secure data management for film and TV production in France.
Data management systems encompass the hardware and workflows used to securely capture, back up, and transfer digital media on set. From on-set data stations and RAID arrays to checksum verification tools, proper data management protects irreplaceable footage throughout the production pipeline.
We set up reliable data management workflows with locally sourced hardware tailored to your camera formats and storage requirements. Our team coordinates DIT stations, backup drives, and secure transfer protocols so your production's digital assets remain protected from set to post-production facility.

On-set DIT and data workflows for French productions
Here is how this works in practice. Data running on a French production runs against tight delivery clocks — a Paris commercial shooting at Cité du Cinéma expecting dailies in Bastille post houses by morning, a feature unit moving from Lyon to Bordeaux that needs LTO archive shipped nightly, or a documentary team working out of a single hotel base across Provence. We deploy DIT stations built around today's-generation MacBook Pro and DaVinci Resolve workstations, RAID storage from Promise and OWC, and LTO-9 archive drives sourced through TSF, Be4Post, and Transpalux partners, with triple-redundant offload protocols verified by checksum at every stage.
Here is the short of it. Our DITs support ARRIRAW, ProRes, RED R3D, Sony X-OCN, Blackmagic BRAW, and Canon Cinema RAW workflows, and the on-set color pipeline integrates with Paris post houses through CDL exports, show LUTs, and dailies grades that survive into the final grade. We scale parallel offload capacity to multi-camera shoots, keep chain-of-custody records across every drive movement, and hand off camera originals on labelled LTO with shot reports, metadata, and retrieval indexes — so the editor in Bastille opens a project that matches exactly what the DP signed off on at wrap.
