Previewed at NAB 2014 in April, the ThunderMAX is an all-in-one Macintosh Thunderbolt 2 peripheral that can accommodate a large collection of devices in one compact, small footprint package for office or on-site use. ThunderMAX is an Mac expansion system with multiple Thunderbolt 2 inputs for maximum throughput to devices.
In addition, the company announced the ThunderTape2 Thunderbolt LTO-6 with two LTO drives, a second generation version of the ThunderTape.
Recently six ThunderMax units were delivered to Dubai TV, UAE, to support Mac Pro tower workstations editing 4K. In addition, at 2014 Cine Gear Expo, YoYotta will demonstrate the ThunderMax providing necessary peripherals to support their archiving and dailies workflows.
ThunderMax
All the peripherals, ports and cards users wish they had in their
Macs, but for which there is no longer room or slots, can now be in
a single 1 Beyond ThunderMax unit that connects with 1-3
Thunderbolt 2 cables to take advantage of up to 60Gb/s throughput
to/from devices and a single power cord.
The result is no more desktop clutter (adapters, devices, data cables, power cords, expansion boxes, and docks, from different manufacturers). The ThunderMAX is designed to grow with the user, who can buy just what is needed now, with or without devices, and add as needs increase. There is no need to purchase additional adapters or expansion boxes or rack units in the future.
The devices that may be integrated include:
Other industry firsts include:
ThunderTape2
Introduced 18 months ago, it was the first Thunderbolt LTO tape
drive available for Macintosh. Now, 1 Beyond has gone a step
further bringing to market the ThunderTape2, which takes advantage
of Thunderbolt 2 technology. In addition, the ThunderTape2 responds
to customer requests to support one or two LTO-6 drives in a single
unit. The two LTO drives can be used to write the same
data creating simultaneous duplicates, double throughput, or they
can be used independently with one reading while the other is
writing. The ThunderTape2 may be purchased with one
LTO drive initially with the flexibility to add the second later as
requirements dictate. Like the original ThunderTape, the
ThunderTape2 is housed in an all metal, rugged portable chassis
with a handle on top.
