SCENE 01 / DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Data Management Systems
Professional DIT services and secure data management for film and TV production in Japan.
Data management systems encompass the hardware and workflows used to securely capture, back up, and transfer digital media on set. From on-set data stations and RAID arrays to checksum verification tools, proper data management protects irreplaceable footage throughout the production pipeline.
We set up reliable data management workflows with locally sourced hardware tailored to your camera formats and storage requirements. Our team coordinates DIT stations, backup drives, and secure transfer protocols so your production's digital assets remain protected from set to post-production facility.

Secure DIT Workflows Across Japan
Data management is the quiet team that protects the whole schedule. We treat every offload like the only chance to catch the day.
Here is how this works in practice. Our DIT stations, RAID arrays, and high-speed offload chains come from Imagica, Nagase Brothers, and Yokohama Rental partners. They are set around the shoot's cameras. That spans ARRIRAW from an Alexa 35 in Tokyo, Sony X-OCN from a Venice 2 on site in Osaka, RED R3D from a V-Raptor shoot in Hokkaido, and BRAW and Canon Cinema RAW from doc units in Kyoto and Fukuoka.
Here is the short of it. Every offload runs triple-backup with checksum check at each stage. Drives travel on separate runs. A full chain-of-custody log goes with every hand-off to post. On-set colour work covers show LUTs, dailies grading, and CDL build that flows clean into Imagica or partner houses for the final grade.
Here is the breakdown. Multi-camera shoots get parallel offload power. Dailies are ready same-day. LTO archive, ordered delivery of camera originals, and detailed shot metadata close out the package at wrap. Your footage is protected, ordered, and ready for post.
