Easy data access You can represent your CBFS Storage container as a virtual disk device, similar to the mounted network disks. This virtual disk can be accessed by any application much like a regular disk. Com port splitter. Access control Limit access to your data to only trusted applications, thus preventing unauthorized access to the data when the container is opened.
This feature is available in the Windows version of CBFS Storage OS Edition. Cross-platform support CBFS Storage offers a file system engine that can be embedded into applications on all major operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS) as well as various custom hardware and software platforms. Easy data management Store your application data in a single container and simplify data backup and manipulation by exposing only one container file to the end-user. You can even keep the container in a custom place (in application resources or in the database) thus hiding it from the end-user completely. Strong data protection Improve security of your documents and data and prevent unauthorized access to them by applying industry-adopted data encryption mechanisms. Transparent strong encryption based on the 256-bit AES algorithm can be applied to a wide range of entities: from a single file stream to an entire file storage container. If you need to meet stronger requirements, you can add your own encryption schemas with public key cryptography.
Transparent compression of data Get more storage for your files and perform data transfer or backup faster without investing into more hardware by using built-in data compression. Compression works transparently and can be combined with data encryption. Industry-standard ZLib compression can be applies to all or select files, and can be replaced by your own compression algorithms. Backed by the Cloud CBFS Storage can store data virtually anywhere, even in cloud storage. Huge Storage Capacity CBFS Storage allows the creation of huge storage containers to meet your current and future data storage needs. Maximum storage size is 256 Terabytes. This gives you virtually unlimited possibilities for storing large amounts of data on physical media, including distributed locations.
Drivers CBFS Storage includes a virtual disk driver and a file system driver. The Virtual disk driver creates a virtual storage device, which emulates a physical storage. The file system Driver maps the CBFS Storage file system to the virtual storage device. The drivers work on the system level (kernel-mode on Windows) and turn CBFS Storage storage into a 'real' disk device with its own file system.
The 'real disk device' is accessible in read-only and/or read-write mode by any application which uses the system file management API. The drivers offer complete access control. For example, you can make the mounted disk visible or hidden. You can also grant access to your storage to only selected applications, thus providing additional level of data security. CBFS Storage drivers can use either a file on the existing file system or a partition on the disk as a backend media for storing information. In other words, you can format a media (partition on the disk, a flash card) as a CBFS Storage disk or you can just create a file which will hold the data. The drivers also support callback mechanisms, which allow you to keep your data storage wherever you want (i.e.
On remote computer, in memory or database record, etc.). A unique feature of CBFS Storage is its resizable nature. When CBFS Storage is mapped to a file (or other resizable media), CBFS Storage uses only the amount of space that is needed to keep the data. So, instead of allocating a several-gigabyte-large storage, you allocate a small file. The storage file will be resized when necessary. If you remove the files from the storage, the storage will be shrinked automatically.
User-mode API User-mode API is very similar to the one included in CBFS Application Edition and introduces additional functions specific to driver management and storage mounting operations. The API is needed only for driver and storage manipulation.
All file operations can be performed using the system file management API or framework-specific classes. For example, you mount the storage using API functions, then write file using FileStream class in.NET or TFileStream in Delphi or CreateFile API when working with WinAPI. For compatibility with the Application Edition, the OS Edition API also provides SolFSStream class, which can be used to access the data on the device. Virtual Device Features. Create virtual disks and make them available as drive letters.
Create of virtual disks and make them available via UNC path and not visible to the user in Explorer. Restrict access to the storage and provide such access to applications based on their names or Process IDs.
Great alternative to archive file formats Archive file formats, such as ZIP, are often used as a universal solution for compound files and virtual file systems. However, archives have certain shortcomings and drawbacks which prevent them from being used effectively.
CBFS Storage is free from such shortcomings. CBFS Storage offers a file system engine, that can be embedded into applications on all major operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS) as well as various custom hardware and software platforms. CBFS Storage supports extensible encryption and compression, custom file tags, file and storage metadata, support for Unicode file names, and more. More information: Multiplatform Use CBFS Storage in your applications, which you create for various software and hardware platforms, from Windows and macOS desktops to Unix and Linux servers to mobile devices. Easy data management Store your application data in a single container and simplify data backup and manipulation by exposing only one container file to the end-user.
You can even keep the container in a custom place (in application resources or in a database) thus hiding it from the end-user completely. More information: Strong data protection Improve the security of your documents and data and prevent unauthorized access to them by applying industry-adopted data encryption mechanisms. Transparent strong encryption based on the 256-bit AES algorithm can be applied to a wide range of entities: from a single file stream to a whole file storage. If you need to meet stronger security requirements, you can always add your own encryption schemas, including public key cryptography. Transparent compression of data Get more storage for your files and perform data transfer or backup faster without investing into more hardware by using built-in data compression. Compression works transparently and can be combined with data encryption.
Industry-standard ZLib compression can be applied only to selected filed or every file, and can be replaced by your own compression algorithms. Backed by the Cloud CBFS Storage can store data virtually anywhere, even in cloud storage. Huge Storage Capacity CBFS Storage allows the creation of huge storage containers to meet your current and future data storage needs. Maximum storage size is 256 Terabytes. This gives you virtually unlimited possibilities for storing large amounts of data on physical media, including distributed locations.
If you need to use or create a powerful file system for a custom device, wheter it is an MP3 player, camera, or just a flash memory controller, we have a solution that fits all your requirements. A file system that provides encryption, compression, journaling, symbolic links, streams, and more. A file system, that is not based on FAT, and is free of all its limitations and patents. And all this functionality fits into 300K of code. CBFS Storage Embedded Edition is implemented on a number of platforms including Windows,.NET, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and Unix. Since it is written in ANSI C, CBFS Storage offers a very flexible code base for use with both big-endian and little-endian systems for which ANSI C compiler exists. Possible uses CBFS Storage can be used in any device that needs to store data in persistent storage (disk drive, flash memory etc).
Specifically, CBFS Storage can be used in the following devices:. DRM-enabled devices to provide device-dependent encryption of the data.
Multimedia devices to organize information in a database-like structure. Data collection devices and industrial appliances to store more data on the device. Flash memory to provide a file system with advanced features and save on development of custom storage formats. Key Features.
Built-in compression functionality, which lets you increase the capacity of the storage without adding a compression layer to your data management code. Built-in symmetric encryption, based on modern industry standards, such as AES256 and SHA2, allows you to protect the data from theft or implement DRM features easily. Journaling and embedded check-and-repair functions let you guarantee data integrity and fail-safety.
You can manage multiple independent volumes with CBFS Storage. This lets you handle many storage media devices (for example, built-in storage and an external flash card) at the same time. The CBFS Connect driver creates a virtual device with application-provided file system and emulates a physical storage. This driver works on the system level and turns a storage into a 'real' disk device with its own file system. The 'real disk device' is accessible in read-only and/or read-write mode by any application which uses system file management API. The resulting mounted disk visible to or hidden from users.
Unlike, the CBFS Connect driver provides functionality to create not just your virtual disks, but your own file systems.

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder is a PCIe slot capture card with both SDI and HDMI inputs for capturing uncompressed 10-bit video from a camera directly into your computer. You'll be able to ingest footage as the camera's recording live or from a playback of the camera's recording. The inputs are active, so once you plug a cable into them, they'll begin functioning. This card automatically switches between SD and HD, so it'll be able to handle all common video formats. The point of ingesting through a capture card is to bypass unnecessary compressions and hence data loss. The card performs just one compression, upon delivery to your computer, where your footage gets encoded into an edit-ready codec of your choice. Inputs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Video Jim from Perfect video capture card for my application I had to obtain a new camera for our church live stream broadcasts and the old camera operated with a fire wire. I knew the new cameras did not support that method so I began looking for a video capture device. I read many reviews and analyzed my needs. Based on my live stream service provider recommendations and the reputation of Black Magic products I selected the DeckLink Mini Recorder. Installation was quite easy and setup was a snap. It worked exactly as I expected the very first time I tried it. Now we are back in business with live stream services.
As usual, B&H was a great partner with the transaction. You can't beat them on price and selection. Rated 3 out of 5 by W5JDX from Works great, but not with Skype This device works great with the included Media Express software, VLC, Splitcam and probably others as well. However out of about 50 attempts, I only got it to be recognized by Skype twice.
BlackMagic does not provide support and testing of Skype so I am left trying to troubleshoot this alone. Be aware that this device does not have onboard compression so if you want to record full uncompressed video, you will probably need a fast raid array or SSD. The data rate is too high for standard SATA drives. Rated 4 out of 5 by AnHaro from This is perfect for Lumix GH4 but not Sony FRD AX100 I am%100 satisfied with its compatibility with my Lumix GH4 to use with XSplit Producer YouTube Live.
But I tried very hard that it work with Sony FDR AX100 and it will not work at all. So totally not satisfied. I am giving 4 stars because it does my work without flaw with Panasonic GH4 and that's most of the times I needed it to work through HDMI for my Live YouTube Broadcast. Conclusion: If you are looking for it to work with GH4 or may be GH3 (I don't have GH3) it is fantastif!
But it does not work with Sony FDR AX100 Over all, good product for the price and quality. Rated 3 out of 5 by toloko from Maybe a little ahead of its time The purchase and delivery were fine. The card was easy to install once I swapped in the low profile bracket provided.
I use the SDI connector attached to a 1080p 30fps HD box security camera. The Media Express software included with the card works fine, but I want to use the card to capture webcam snapshots automatically and I haven't found a program that works. I've tried about a dozen. Most webcam programs can't be configured to handle the exact video size and frame rate of the video source, which is required according to experts on the Blackmagic forum. Splitcam and Manycam should work, but I haven't got it working yet. It seems to be a little tricky to get it to work with live streaming services like Skype, Hangouts, Twitch, etc., but it can be done apparently.
Maybe it's just a matter of time until software developers begin to support HD video. Rated 2 out of 5 by Zen from Conflicts with other devices on AVID MC7 Purchased this to ingest SD and HD video into my AVID MC7 (Windows 64 bit pro) PC and it seemed to work fine with HDMI HD for the first day, but when I tried to move to SD I found some issues: 1) Unable to select separate sources for video and audio. Yes the card supports embedded audio via SDI, but my source outputs video via S-video (or RGB) and audio via SPDIF. When I tried to add spdif audio via my AVID Mbox3, the supplied Black Magic Media Express software refused to ingest separate audio/video and the capture feature in AVID showed a greyed out selection for the Blackmagic card (which had worked previously).
2) Appears to be a hardware conflict between my AVID Mbox3 audio device and the Decklink mini recorder card. On the third day the AVID issued an error message that stated it had lost communication with the card and could not (and despite a reload of the OS would not) regain communications. I am still able to use the card for 10 bit ingest of 1080i60 material using the Media Express software and the captured video looks great!
If this is your only application, this could be a good product for you. Great idea to provide a low profile faceplate with the unit for use in ingest servers. Blackmagic typically have great products and my case may be unique, however considering that my setup is vanilla and only uses AVID approved hardware/software, I would have expected a flawless experience.
I have a decklink studio card which I have been working with for years. I recently changed my workstation, and tried to install the card, with no success. The machine is a Dell Vostro 470, with an I7 3.4 GHZ processor, 8gb of ram, and windows 7 64 bit. The problems I am having are:. The drivers (latest version, 9.6.7) install fine, and the machine 'seems' to see the card correctly. The control panel applet works.
Everytime at startup, it asks for the firmware to be updated, and then fails to do so. Nothing significant shows in the windows event log.
Although the card 'Seems' to work, it does not generate any output. Any ideas how I should proceed? Thanks, Mike. Hello Mike, If the firmware update does not complete, then the DeckLink will not function. If you have not already done so, do try the DeckLink in other available PCIe slots to see if the firmware update finishes. You may also want to check to make sure the computer has its latest BIOS and chipset drivers up to date. If you have access to the older system, you may want to try the DeckLink back on this system, just to verify that the card does work and you might be dealing with a hardware incompatibility.
We generally do not recommend Dell systems due to scenarios like these. It can be hit or miss when using a Dell configuration. Our support page does list minimum system requirements with motherboards and full systems out of the box that should work. If you have any other questions, do let us know. I tried my old system, with drivers version 7.1.2 (which it used to have). It asked me for a firmware update (which was probably a downgrade), which worked.
The card worked just fine. I then installed the latest 9.6.6 version on to the old computer, to see what would happen. It asked again for a firmware update, did it, and the card worked fine with these drivers as well. So, it is indeed a compatibility problem. I tried all available PCI slots with no success (on the Dell). One thing I have NOT tried is this: after updating the firmware via the old computer, does it make sense to move the card to the new one and retry?

In other words, what are the chances than (on the Dell) the firmware update does not work, but the card does? I ask this because it is a lot of work to open up both computers again one last thing, just i case it matters. In the old computer, the card was inserted in a full-length PCI slot, simply because it did not have any short PCIe slots.

In the Dell, which does NOT have full-length PCI slots, I had to use the short PCIe slot. Is this relevant?
