Blackmagic MultiDock

Product Description

Dock and Edit

The Blackmagic MultiDock 2 supports docking up to four independent 2.5″ SATA SSD or HDDs so you can plug in multiple media disks and work directly from them. Simply plug in your disk and your Mac OS X or Windows computer will recognize it as a regular hard drive. The Blackmagic MultiDock 2 is ideal for accessing media recorded from the Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production 4K Camera, HyperDeck SSD recorders, or any other 2.5″ drive-based recorder.

Thunderbolt 2

Using Thunderbolt 2 technology, the Blackmagic MultiDock 2 provides fast transfer speeds to your computer at up to 20 Gb/s with a single cable connection. This speed is particularly useful when working with high-resolution Ultra HD and DCI 4K footage, or stereoscopic 3D files. The MultiDock 2 is also compatible with existing Thunderbolt 1 computers and provides a loop-through for daisy-chaining five additional Thunderbolt devices.

RAID Storage

For fast storage, the Blackmagic MultiDock 2 can be configured into a multi-disk RAID by using the disk utility software to „stripe” the disks into a single fast storage volume, great for 4K editing, effects, and color correction work. When used with the latest SATA 3 SSDs, you get performance over 500 MB/s.
