Wildlife Cinematographer Steve Lumpkin Adopts Sonnet Solo10G to Accelerate Postproduction Thunderbolt™ 3 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Adapter Delivers Tenfold Performance Boost for 4K Editing and Storage Workflows
In partnership with the Government of Botswana, Endless Treasures of Botswana is a non-profit project to create both still images and films that showcase the country’s success in protecting its diverse and protected wildlife population, including big cats, elephants, and wild dogs. Lumpkin spent 65 days taking still photographs and filming video in the bush, with much of the video shot in 4K. “Products like Sonnet’s Solo10G are critical for helping our team celebrate Botswana’s recognition as the conservation leader of Africa,” Lumpkin said. “Instantly after I connected the Solo10G, I jumped to a transfer rate of more than 880 megabytes per second, a nearly tenfold throughput increase. And now the system just screams – the Solo10G has accelerated every piece of my workflow, from ingest to 4K editing to rendering and output. Honestly, the Solo10G is a gamechanger for any editor that needs to connect to a storage array using Thunderbolt.” “For more than a decade, Steve has been traveling to the Republic of Botswana to capture and celebrate the country’s diverse and protected wildlife population. His passion for these animals comes through in every one of his stunning photographs and films,” said Greg LaPorte, vice president of sales and marketing, Sonnet Technologies. “We’re honored that the Solo10G is playing such a key role in accelerating Steve’s ability to tell the story of Botswana and its tremendous success in protecting threatened species.” More information on the Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition is available at www.sonnettech.com/product/solo-10g-tb3.html.
