Data Management Systems

Here is how this works in practice. Data running infrastructure in Spain runs through the DIT cart inventory at Camara Movil Madrid, Vantage Spain, Welab Plus Barcelona. And the Mediapro Post Barcelona on-set extension stations. Primary cart builds use 1RU Mac Mini M2 Ultra with 192GB RAM and 8TB internal storage plus Promise Pegasus R8 32TB and 64TB Thunderbolt 3 RAID arrays for the high-throughput offload-and-verify pipeline. Card-reader inventory covers the full Spanish-prestige roster — Codex Compact Drive readers for ARRIRAW from the Alexa 35 and Alexa Mini LF.

Here is the short of it. Sony SxS readers for Sony Venice 2 X-OCN and Sony FX9. RED MINI-MAG readers for V-Raptor 8K and Komodo. And Codex CFast readers for the Canon C500 Mk II and C300 Mk III broadcast roster. Sonnet Echo Express and Atto Thunderlink fanout chassis handle the multi-camera parallel-offload throughput on the eight-and-twelve-camera Mediapro and Filmax studio blocks. ShotPut Pro, Silverstack, and Hedge run as the verification-checksum tools.

Here is the breakdown. Dailies labs and on-set color pipeline integration route through the major Spanish post houses. Mediapro Post Barcelona as the prestige feature and Netflix Spain partner (Money Heist, Vis a Vis, Berlin all finished through Mediapro). Telson Madrid as the broadcast and series workhouse with dedicated dailies-and-DI suites. Apache Digital Madrid for commercial and music video. And Madrid Lab for the smaller feature and documentary work.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. LUT delivery from on-set DIT to the dailies lab happens through CDL-and-ASC-CDL XML export plus IDT ACES color-space conformance for any production running an ACES pipeline. LTO archive for camera-first master copies routes through Filmoteca Española (the Spanish Film Archive in Madrid). The national film archive keeps LTO-9 and LTO-8 vault storage as the long-term cold-archive option for Spanish productions claiming the 30 percent state rebate or the 50 percent Canary Islands rebate. Summer 40°C-plus heat protocols include explicit DIT cart shading and AC-conditioned production-truck staging.
