SCENE 01 / DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Data Management Systems

Professional DIT services and secure data management for film and TV production in France.

Scroll

Data kit covers the hardware and workflows that safely capture, back up, and move digital media on set. From on-set data stations and RAID arrays to checksum tools, sound data management guards footage you cannot replace across the whole pipeline.

We build reliable data workflows with local hardware matched to your camera formats and storage needs. Our team sets up DIT stations, backup drives, and secure transfer steps, so your digital assets stay safe from set to the post-prod house.

On-set DIT and data workflows for French productions

Data work on a French production runs against tight delivery clocks. A Paris commercial at Cité du Cinéma may expect dailies in Bastille post houses by morning. A feature unit moving from Lyon to Bordeaux may need LTO archive shipped nightly, while a documentary team works from a single hotel base across Provence. We set up DIT stations built around the latest MacBook Pro and DaVinci Resolve workstations, RAID storage from Promise and OWC, and LTO-9 archive drives sourced through TSF, Be4Post, and Transpalux partners. Triple-redundant offload steps then verify every stage by checksum.

Our DITs support ARRIRAW, ProRes, RED R3D, Sony X-OCN, Blackmagic BRAW, and Canon Cinema RAW workflows. The on-set color pipeline ties into Paris post houses through CDL exports, show LUTs, and dailies grades that carry into the final grade. We scale parallel offload to multi-camera shoots and keep chain-of-custody records for each drive move. Camera originals hand off 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.
