My full-fibre connected edit suite now lets me support post-production clients anywhere in the world with the fastest possible file transfers. Symmetrical gigabit broadband means I can upload and download media files and digital assets at speeds that genuinely change what is possible for remote collaboration.
Video edit suite with fast internet
The practical benefits became clear on a recent project. I transferred a full day of two-camera footage to a client in Australia on the same day as filming. As a result, they could review the material and begin work on social media deliverables while I simultaneously worked on the main edit brief. This kind of parallel workflow is only possible with a full-fibre-connected edit suite.
Actual full fibre connected edit suite data rates
My current tested speeds consistently reach nearly 900 Mb/s on an advertised 1000 Mb/s connection. Hyperoptic installed my network connection and provides a symmetrical system. This means my upload speeds match my download speeds. This is not the usual situation with most broadband connections. It proves enormously useful for quickly transferring large media files to clients. My Mac connects directly to the Hyperoptic hub and router via a hard-wired connection, ensuring the best speeds available at any given time.
Reliable full fibre data transfer
I have now used this full-fibre broadband system for over a year and have found it entirely reliable throughout. Hyperoptic also provides 24/7 customer support, which matters when so many projects run outside standard working hours. Additionally, my contract includes unlimited usage with no data cap on file transfers, so large media deliveries never incur extra costs.
Faster video production
As a video editor and filmmaker with BBC and freelance experience, I produce, film, and edit at short notice. My work spans short promotional videos through to documentary films. My website portfolio provides many examples of recent productions. Furthermore, my full fibre connected edit suite lets me share assets with clients immediately. Consequently, this supports faster feedback and shorter production times.
Professional video editing storage
My MacPro-based full fibre connected edit suite also houses three Promise Pegasus RAID 5 media arrays, each offering 12TB of storage across six drives. These connect via Thunderbolt for fast data access throughout the edit. In addition, all project media stays backed up on separate hard drives alongside the three RAID 5 arrays, providing an extra layer of protection for every project.
