Marquis… One Application To Manage Your Storage

PROJECT PARKING
In one single application Project Parking from Marquis Broadcast gives users the tools to improve the efficient use of their edit storage – reducing capital expenditure on additional edit storage and improving the reliability and speed of archiving.

Project Parking analyses all your Avid projects and media so that you can understand which projects are using up most space and take action to transfer, archive or delete. As well as finding large projects, Project Parking can identify unused or duplicate media which can be deleted or archived.

With Project Parking users can create project archives based upon bin selection, move projects between tiers of storage or transfer to different locations. After archiving and transferring media off-line – selected Projects or Bins can be restored and merged with the original media back on-line.

One Application To Manage Your Storage

FREE UP YOUR STORAGE
Project Parking gives you the tools to find out what is using up
space on your Avid edit storage, then delete the clutter and park
storage intensive projects elsewhere.

CREATE A COMPLETE PROJECT ARCHIVE WITH EASE
Park your projects to take them off-line or simply to keep them
safe. Archive whole projects: all the bins, sequences and media
files. Update with new versions. Archive only the bins that are
important.

TRANSPORT WHOLE PROJECTS
Move your projects through the cloud and around the world.
Transfer a project with all its media to any storage so that it can
be transferred to a new location, workstation or laptop and edited
immediately.

FLEXIBLY RESTORE BINS
Bring a project back from deep storage or just from a weekend’s
editing at home. Restore a whole project, or just the bins that
matter, to any other project. Merge a new version of a project
with the one currently on-line.

FIND WAYWARD MEDIA
Ensure that a project obeys facility rules about the location of
media. Check that all its media is on the right workspace and not
on local drives or removable storage where it will be invisible to
other workstations.

PARK YOUR PROJECTS AND CLEAR OUT
YOUR STORAGE
Analyse all your projects and workspaces from one application.
Move stalled and finished projects to archive. Improve the
efficiency of your edit storage by moving duplicate and orphan
files to lower tier storage.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“We often need to create different variations of the same
material. Project Parking has been invaluable in assisting
with this process. Previously, we would re-create the rushes
to make a new promo version. This was a labour intensive
process. Now by using Project Parking, we don’t need to
scrub the rushes to free-up the edit storage as we can store
the project and all the media files associated with it
together, offline. Time is saved and we also have infinitely
more editorial flexibility due to the ease of access of the
files. The team has described Project Parking as flawless. It
is simple to use and gets the job done.”
Mark Glennon, Head of Post Production at Zodiak Rights
“We were looking for a practical solution to migrate key Avid
project data. Project Parking helped us to make an inventory
of Avid projects and their assets, spanning across multiple
workspaces on our existing ISIS system before the
migration. Project Parking supplied an intuitive interface,
enabling a straightforward migration of the media from one
physical system to another.”
Nick Symes, Director of Technology at Input Media
“By archiving or moving completed projects off-line we can
free up valuable space on our edit storage. Marquis is the
only company to offer a solution which intelligently analyses
projects to enable efficient media management in this way.”
Nigel Gourley, Managing Director at OutPost
