MONTREAL, April 21, 2004 – Maximum Throughput Inc. (www.max-t.com), a developer and provider of high-performance, networked storage and media management solutions, announced the introduction of Chisel™ today. Chisel is Maximum Throughput's uncompressed, standard-definition (SD) video gateway for SGI® (www.sgi.com) InfiniteStorage SAN solutions. Chisel is a welcome complement to InfiniteStorage solutions, adding the variety of video capabilities and storage accessibility required by post-production and broadcast clients. Chisel allows video to be ingested by the SAN in a user-selectable format. Consequently, Chisel allows SAN content to be played out as a serial digital interface (SDI). It also allows SAN content to be recorded to tape, and accessed just like a digital disk recorder (DDR). “"Being selected to collaborate with an industry leader like SGI is another testament to our ability to build solutions sought by the entertainment industry",” said Giovanni Tagliamonti, CEO at Maximum Throughput. “This relationship allows us to offer our mutual customers a more complete range of products.” Louise Ledeen, Director of Production, Media Industries, at SGI, agrees. “The teaming of Maximum Throughput's Chisel with SGI InfiniteStorage solutions allows our customers to concentrate the ingest of standard definition video directly into the SAN – freeing up the workstations for more productive and creative work.” Maximum Throughput's uncompressed I/O edge devices are part of an upcoming installation, together with Silicon Graphics (NYSE: SGI) and Discreet (NASDAQ: ADSK), to help Univision Communications, Inc. continue its migration to a high-bandwidth digital workflow. Univision Network is the largest Spanish-speaking broadcast network in the United States, with 24 owned and operated stations and 53 affiliate stations reaching 98% of U.S. Hispanic households. The SGI and Discreet solution will be used to edit programs, generate program promotions and reformat programs.
