HDMI Monitor Output

A HDMI monitor output provides real-time status updates of the Cloud Pod. Simply connect a TV or monitor to view detailed information such as storage mapping, speed graphics, active user status, and power status, ensuring easy monitoring.

Live Sync Blackmagic Cloud Pod to Dropbox

With the capability for live sync to Dropbox, users can establish a local cache of Dropbox files for expedited access without the need for internet downloads. The Blackmagic Cloud Pod continuously synchronizes to ensure data consistency, allowing users to share cached Dropbox files across the network. Furthermore, the option to sync multiple Blackmagic Cloud Pods or Cloud Stores via Dropbox enables seamless collaboration across different geographical locations without latency issues, making it ideal for home or offsite use.

Adding Cloud Service to Blackmagic Cloud Pod

Connect your Blackmagic Cloud Pod to the internet and input your Dropbox account details to enable cloud service access for synchronization.

Setting Sync Folders

Subsequently, configure the sync folders to specify where the Blackmagic Cloud Pod should sync its files within the remote Dropbox. Multiple sync folders can be designated for different projects, enhancing organization and workflow efficiency.

Configure Sync Direction

Now, specify the sync direction according to your requirements. Opting for a one-way sync direction is ideal when you possess local files that you intend to share but lack sufficient storage capacity to accommodate everyone’s files. On the other hand, selecting both directions ensures that all users receive an identical set of files.

Global File Distribution through Blackmagic Cloud Pod

Leverage Dropbox sync functionality to utilize multiple Blackmagic Cloud Pod units for global file sharing endeavors. This capability proves invaluable when dealing with extensive datasets or massive digital film and video files. Such files necessitate constant access, often requiring multiple retrievals per second, rendering most internet connections inadequate due to latency issues. While accessing large files remotely via the internet is hindered by latency, file synchronization can be employed to mitigate this challenge. By synchronizing files to local storage, delays in accessing them are minimized, as each user possesses a local copy of the files within their network. The Blackmagic Cloud Pod continuously synchronizes files, ensuring seamless operation even when individual computers are powered off.

Live Monitoring

Utilize the HDMI monitoring output to effortlessly connect a TV or computer monitor and access real-time status updates for the Blackmagic Cloud Pod. The storage map provides a graphical representation of the memory core, showcasing ongoing read and write operations in real time for connected users. Additionally, informative graphs depict data transfers occurring over the Ethernet connection. The primary space indicator offers insights into the capacity of the two USB Type-C disks and the current utilization levels. Users also have the option to assign a custom name to the pod. Furthermore, the status of each Dropbox connection is displayed, allowing users to monitor connected users and ascertain power status at a glance.
