High-Speed File Transfer for Media & Entertainment

Film studios, broadcasters, and post-production facilities move terabyte-scale video files daily. Zapper Edge provides high-performance file transfer with parallel streaming for 4K/8K video, VFX renders, and production assets.

Media file transfer challenges

Media production requires moving massive files quickly: raw 4K footage (50-100GB/hour), 8K video (200GB+/hour), VFX renders (1-10TB/project), color grading masters (100GB-2TB), and final deliverables.

Use cases

Production file exchange

Studios share raw footage, proxy files, and production assets with editors, VFX houses, and colorists worldwide.

Post-production workflows

Move renders, composites, and graded masters between facilities with deadline-driven delivery requirements.

Broadcast content delivery

Deliver finished programming to broadcasters and streaming platforms with strict technical specifications.
