It’s 2 AM. You’ve just wrapped shooting photos or videos. Your client has long since gone home. Now you’ve got the dreaded task of heading back to the office to back up hundreds of files before going home as you anxiously wait, terrified as to whether your drive might corrupt or get damaged on the way home.

How much did it cost you last time you lost content after media production?

Imagine how much easier media workflow management could be. No more worrying about whether your content is safe and secure. Instead, you can use the Black Box, offloading your footage while you’re on location. Allowing you more time to do what matters.

Bespoke. Built for you.

Each Black Box data storage solution is tailored based on your needs.

Give your files and media production data the system they deserve.

Secure. Safe. No matter what.
