Cortland, NY and Hazlet, NJ - November 11, 2011 - Glyph Production Technologies, a highly respected, professional data storage provider, announced that 1 Source Video will distribute its desktop and portable storage line in North, South and Central America, effective immediately.

“1 Source Video has an amazing depth of product knowledge and expertise in the video market,” said Chris Egan, VP of Sales at Glyph. “They bring with them strong relationships with their extensive dealer network, and large warehousing on the east and west coasts. We are very excited about the growth opportunities we have with 1 Source Video.”

1 Source Video will begin by helping Glyph launch their newest product, the GPT50. Designed to be 33% smaller, more featured, and more environmentally friendly than Glyph’s current tabletop drive product, the GPT50 features next-generation Oxford bridging technology, an internal power supply and a temperature-controlled fan. A move to smaller, environmentally friendly packaging makes it more portable and convenient, and creates less waste. 1 Source Video will be taking pre-orders on their website through 2011, and the GPT50 is due to ship in January 2012.

Frank Conti, President of 1 Source Video said, “Our customers need well-supported, compatible, reliable storage. Glyph products fit this need, and have a strong synergy with the other product lines that we distribute. We are confident that we can help Glyph become a leading storage provider in the content creation markets.”

Historically, Glyph’s GT 050Q tabletop drive, GT 062E tabletop RAID drive, and Triplicator have been sold and shipped with a protective carrying case included. In an effort to reduce packaging and waste, Glyph will discontinue shipping these three products with a carrying case beginning in November 2011, and the case will reach end of life. GT 050Q will be the first to ship without a carrying case in early November. While many customers have welcomed the included carrying case, many have expressed that they do not use them, and they end up in the trash. We would like to reduce our impact on the environment and provide only the amount of packaging necessary.

We at Glyph Production Technologies appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you, Glyph

The recent flooding in Thailand is hitting the hard drive manufacturing industry extremely hard. The disaster has shut down 14,000 factories, flooded hundreds of thousands of homes and put more than 660,000 out of work. Thailand accounts for about 25 percent of worldwide HDD production, according to iSuppli.

Glyph uses Seagate and Hitachi drives in our products. Seagate’s facilities were largely spared, but they warn that they could face component shortages, which could cause delays. Hitachi will also face shortages. Western Digital, the world’s largest hard drive manufacturer, got hit the hardest, and has suspended production in all of their Thailand facilities.

Hard drive price and availability from Glyph’s vendors is changing on a daily, if not hourly basis. We expect that that the supply squeeze will extend for months, and shortages will loom into 2012. We also expect that hard drive costs will continue to rise in the next several months.

We will continue to do everything we can to supply the best quality storage products at the most fair price possible, in a timely fashion. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cortland, NY - September 2, 2011 - Glyph Production Technologies, a highly respected, professional data storage provider, announced today that Matrox has finished testing the GT 062E and has qualified it to support the performance necessary for uncompressed 10-bit editing.

Wayne Andrews, Product Manager in the Matrox Video Products Group, said, “We were very happy with the performance of the GT 062E in our test lab. It’s a perfect storage solution to complement Matrox products supporting resolutions up to and including uncompressed 10-bit.”

Tests were performed on Mac and Windows operating systems, using Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere applications. Matrox and Glyph recommend using the GT 062E connected via eSATA to a fast 4-lane eSATA card such as the Sonnet E4P. The RAID mode of the GT 062E should be set to RAID 0 for the fastest performance possible. RAID mode changes are performed using Glyph Manager, a software application that ships with the GT 062E.

About the GT 062E
The GT 062E has became a standard in production workflows. With capacities up to 6TB, the GT 062E includes an eSATA port, which enables over 200MB/s sustained transfer rate in RAID 0 mode. Connected by FireWire 800 or USB 2.0, the GT 062E reports the health of the two internal drives using Glyph Manager software, which constantly monitors Glyph drives using S.M.A.R.T. (industry-standard drive diagnostics). With dual SATA drives under the hood, an internal power supply and quiet cooling fan, and fault-tolerant RAID modes, the GT 062E has plenty of speed and reliability for demanding content creation applications.

Best Warranty in the Industry
We back up our drives with a 3-Year warranty, 2-Year Free Basic Data Recovery Policy, and 1-Year Advance Replacement (U.S. Continental 48 States only). For details, please visit http://www.glyphtech.com/support

Electronic Musician, April 2011

By Barry Rudolph

Barry Rudolph has many Glyph drives and has reviewed several over the years. This time he gets his hands on our PortaGig 62 portable RAID, and writes about it for Electronic Musician magazine.

“For me, the PortaGig 62 scores in three ways: Its small size makes it the perfect portable drive for “on the go” music production on a laptop. It makes an excellent archive drive for locating my precious files in an alternative, safe place. Or it just works great 24/7 as my main session drive. The manufacturer’s insurance policy is great, too. Like all Glyph drives, the PortaGig comes with a three-year warranty, a free two-year data recovery plan, and a one-year replacement guarantee. All good, indeed!”

Though choices abound in the marketplace, PAR’s Senior Contributor swears by Glyph’s PortaGig 62, a drive “as close to perfection as possible.”

When it finally came time to replace my trusty Glyph PortaGig 100GB hard drive — after over half a decade of heavy use! — naturally I returned to Glyph. Their drives have continually proven themselves to be both amazingly reliable and reasonably priced. A lot has changed since I purchased my PortaGig 100: Glyph’s new leader in the portability department is the bus-powered PortaGig 62, the little brother to the Glyph GT 062E, priced at $279 street.

Cortland, NY – March 14, 2011 — Glyph has updated the Triplicator with a requested feature: the ability to “remount” a previous Triplicator drive set. Glyph began shipping remount-capable Triplicators to dealers March 10th, and they are available for $399 MAP.

This update allows a Triplicator and drive set to be re-powered, and upon power up, the Triplicator will discover and mount the previously created drive set. This allows you to work with a Triplicator set the same way as you would a regular drive, while allowing you to have three copies of your data on the target drives at the same time.

“The Triplicator is awesome! And the time savings are substantial. I’m curious why no one has made something like this before because it’s so obviously useful. It’s coming with me on all my jobs, that’s for sure”.
Ben Cain, NYC

Jason Diamond uses his Triplicator in a RED™ Camera and Digital Lab workflow. “The new 2nd generation Triplicator will be a great addition to any data centric workflow, and I know it will save us quite a bit of time on set. Transfer speeds are as you would expect from a single drive, but the bonus is you’re copying to three drives instead of one”.
Jason Diamond, NYC
MBS Productions

The Triplicator enables you to make multiple identical copies of your data simultaneously. It connects to a Mac or PC computer via eSATA, FireWire or USB. Two or three target hard drives connect to the Triplicator via eSATA ports. Power on the drives and the Triplicator, and an LED tells you how many drives are attached. When you copy data through the Triplicator, identical data will be copied to all target drives, without the user having to make separate copies. The drives are ready to be used as individual originals for editing, backup and archiving.

To learn more about the new “remount” feature, contact Glyph Production Technologies or one of our dealers.

Cortland, NY and Burbank, CA – March 14, 2011 — Glyph Production Technologies announced that Asia Media Products (AMP) has agreed to represent its desktop and portable storage line in Western North America and the Asia Pacific markets.

“We are excited about our new alliance with AMP”, said Mike Driscoll, CEO at Glyph. “The APAC region is one of growing importance to Glyph, and the need for reliable, well-supported storage is high there.

AMP is a global sales and marketing organization catering to small to medium sized manufacturers of products and services in the digital media space who desire to turn their regional success into global success.

The Samplelogic Morphestra sound library won a coveted 2011 Editors’ Choice Award from EM Magazine. “Whatever the sound category, from sublime to satanic, the sounds retain an organic feel that blends well with more traditional material”, EM reported. The Morphestra library ships on a PortaGig 50 hard drive, eliminating the need to move large amounts of content from multiple DVDs to a hard drive, and allowing you to get right to the music.

“Offering Morphestra exclusively on a Glyph drive was an important decision for us,” said Joe Trupiano, CEO of Sample Logic. “We are guaranteed that it will work because the entire solution has been tested and qualified by Glyph and Sample Logic.”

Morphestra PortaGig 50 drives are replicated at Glyph Technologies using the Glyph Triplicator, an appliance that allows you to make multiple simultaneous copies of your data with a single copy action. Triplicator saves time and energy by allowing Glyph to make three Morphestra drives in the time it would normally take to make one.
