Hedge & iodyne - Partners for Powerful Workflows for elevanting Media Workflow with Swift Offloading, Robust Verification, and Seamless Collaboration.

We are really happy to feature Hedge and iodyne , two brilliant companies who partner up to improve post production workflow and more! Hedge makes software to radically improve video workflows by easing up difficult and repetitive chores. Iodyne solved a big issue from the past decade where Pros were forced to choose between small, fast internal or external SSDs, or big, slow and bulky hard-disk RAID arrays. Not any longer.

Hedge & iodyne journey together started in 2022 by optimizing OffShoot for the iodyne Pro Data . OffShoot’s Fast Lane copy engine and Checkpoint verification engine mean that the Pro data can function at its maximum speed while guaranteeing that copies are made quickly and fully verified.  They are all taking it up a notch by bundling Mimiq Pro with iodyne Pro Data. Hedge & iodyne united to offer a collaborative solution with bin locking and workspaces functionality that Avid editors have come to expect. 

OffShoot & Iodyne Pro Data - Media Workflow Efficiency:

OffShoot and iodyne's Pro Data make quite the team, ensuring lightning- fast copy management with Thunderbolt connectivity.

Highlighted Features: High-Speed Copy Engines for Unrestricted Offloading:  FastLane copy engines, optimized for iodyne, ensure seamless offloading without bottlenecks.

Further info on OffShoot: Fast, verified data transfers with metadata management for offload and ingest. Formerly known as Hedge, OffShoot is the ideal companion when managing media. It is available in three versions, whether you're on the go, working on-set or in a studio, or working with high-end workflows.

Superfast Transfers Files are getting bigger, cards and reader faster, so you don't want any bottlenecks in your workflow. With OffShoot's Speed 2.0 update, our industry-leading copy engines got even faster.

Simultaneous backups Create as many copies as you need, at the same time. OffShoot transfers multiple sources to all destinations, fully utilizing your bandwidth.

Verification, everywhere Everything OffShoot does is verified, by design. Whether you're doing a simple copy, need source verification, destination verification, legacy checksums: our Checkpoint technology has your back.

Presets, on steroids Elements prompt you to add useful metadata to the media files you're transferring, so that they're properly labelled. That saves time for everyone else, and makes a smoother workflow.

Keep track of everything Copying is one thing, knowing what went where is next. Keep complete track of what goes where, when and how, with our Transfer Logs. Additionally, Media Hash Lists allow you to automatically re-verify backups at a later time.

Duplicate Detection OffShoot's built-in Duplicate Detection ensures you can pick up any transfer where it left off, without ever running into files with identical filenames.

Right-click, Copy, Paste Your beloved copy/paste just got leveled up. Right-click any file or folder in Finder or Explorer, and you have direct access to OffShoot's copy engine ... and more!

Filter, Rename, Organize Still manually creating folder structures? With OffShoot, organization of your files goes a bit further: ignore files, rename everything, and resort your files into new folders - or none at all.

Connect 3.0 Our beloved push notification service got another big update, and now comes with an online dashboard. Never wait for a transfer to finish, we'll let you know when it's done!

Mimiq Pro & iodyne Pro Data Bundle - Collaborative Solutions:

Mimiq Pro and iodyne's Pro Data create a powerhouse for Media Composer workflows, offering bin locking and workspaces functionality.

Key Features: One Price, No Contracts:  Mimiq pro comes with a Transparent pricing policy who covers 3 years of Support, Updates, and Warranty. Designed To Fit any Workflow: Compact, portable, and quiet – designed to fit seamlessly into your creative projects.  No Network & Cloud Hassles: Thunderbolt for up to 4 users, with the option to leverage the Mac's network port for additional users.

Further info on Mimiq: Bin Locking 101: It is a simple concept: it stops others from overwriting your files while you're working on them. It allows editors to collaborate, and was introduced by Avid in Media Composer. With the bin you're working in locked, no-one else can get in to your edit. When you're done, the bins are unlocked, so others can add to or modify your work. It might sounds simple but it isn't if you want to use third-party storage for your Avid. That's were Mimiq is a game changer. Until Mimiq, the only way to work collaboratively with other Media Composer editors was through expensive proprietary hardware. There was no way to use the plethora of third-party storage available to everyone at sensible prices. Now thanks to Mimiq anyone can set up a collaborative editing workflow for Media Composer.

Bring your own shared storage Mimiq frees you from vendor lock-in; you just pick whichever shared storage you prefer to work with. Any NAS will do, saving you money on hardware that you can spend instead to enhance creativity. Gone are the days when you're coerced into buying expensive proprietary storage that acts like a giant dongle, just to enable bin locking.

Workspaces Turn any type of block storage into a Media Composer-compatible volume. For SAN, RAID, and even your internal SSD. Remote workflow? Sync your media with your favorite tool or service, and let Mimiq manage the Workspaces for complete control of your volume names and paths.

For remote and hybrid teams Supercharge your Media Composer workflow with Mimiq Pro and LucidLink. Whether you and your team work on-prem or remote, with LucidLink's Filespaces it's a seemless transition. If you have already have invested in local shared storage you can add it to the mix too, for the perfect hybrid workflow.

Up-to-date and future proof Nodody likes doing the same thing twice, unless it's about offering proper native OS support. As with all Hedge apps, Mimiq has separate dedicated technology for both macOS and Windows, making sure you get the best experience whether you're on Mac or Windows. That includes native Apple silicon support — an industry exclusive.

No setup fees or long-term contracts Because Mimiq is not a subscription, pricing is very flexible. No need for a support contract, there are no monthly fees, and the 10-day trial ensures you know Mimiq will work for you and your team before spending a dime. Best of all: adding more people to your team doesn't break the bank.

Wide version support No editor likes upgrading their Media Composer if it can be avoided. That's why Hedge is par with Avid, supporting all versions of Media composer that Avid supports, an even wider range of macOS versions, and of course, Windows 10 and 11.
