Source material is a highly valuable asset on set. To securely manage and control this material, Silverstack introduces a clearly structured process for handling source material throughout production.
Silverstack copies material using common and up to date checksum methods, ensuring that footage is offloaded from cameras and backed up to multiple destinations in a highly secure way. With Silverstack’s cascading copy function, you are even able to back up your footage to the fastest medium first before a second copy process is automatically started to the remaining drives - all while the same level of safety is retained.
Silverstack automatically stores and structures all offloaded and ingested data in its comprehensive clip library. This library is the solid foundation for a clearly arranged and transparent data management workflow. Having all digital assets organized in one place makes it easy to find, trace, and mobilize all required clip, audio, and look information.
Working with multiple units? Sync each unit’s local Silverstack clip library via Pomfort’s cloud service ShotHub to drastically accelerate your data handling.
Multiple Silverstack units can offload and perform jobs in parallel, while all connected libraries get updated automatically, bi-directionally, and in real-time. The result: Seamless collaboration and complete data transparency across locations.

Fortunately I could just look up the job in Silverstack [...] in less than 5 minutes I had complete answers and the info allowed my client to locate the files on their server.
“Recently, a high profile client reached out to me as they couldn’t find some files from interviews done with A-List movie stars for promotional materials that I had produced for them the six months prior. It was a straight forward roadhouse job and the client left with all the media. I did keep a safety copy but was on location and wouldn’t have access to it for about a week. Fortunately, I could just look up the job in Silverstack and confirm that the files had indeed been transferred and could identify the drives and folders for my client along with all the other specifics.
I fully admit my initial reaction to the question was self-doubt, but in less than 5 minutes, I had complete answers, and the info allowed my client to locate the files on their server. I am not a DIT by trade but use Silverstack to transfer all of my footage for productions that I produce. The cost is far out weighed by the peace of mind. Case and point.”

Silverstack enables you to detect image errors directly on set, which prevents costly surprises in post-production. Playback your clips natively in different resolutions. Use the typical JKL keyboard shortcut controls to navigate through the clips. Monitor the image via HD-SDI (Silverstack XT only) to ensure that all material meets your quality expectations. Furthermore, check clipping, focus, and exposure with Silverstack’s visual controls, and use Silverstack’s look management functionality to apply and adjust colors.
