What is Ci?
Ci Media Cloud is a cloud-based solution from Sony where users can capture, backup, review, transform and run streamlined media workflows without moving or copying files. It is the only media platform that offers remote file gathering, collaboration, automated transcoding, high-speed file transfer, QC, logging, and archive in a single SaaS subscription.
Adopted by Hollywood studios, filmmakers, television shows, sports and news, Ci connects people and content from anywhere to streamline the creative process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Workspace and Catalog?
Workspace serves creative teams that need low-friction access for fast-paced work-in-progress projects. Catalog serves enterprises that need a media management solution for finished content to fulfill downstream workflows including sales, localization, distribution, and archive.
What file formats are supported in Ci? Do you support ProRes?
Ci supports most professional file formats, from Adobe Illustrator files to ProRes videos and live streams. Upon upload, Ci automatically creates preview proxies that can be viewed instantly in a web browser.
Are there user limits?
Free and Pro Plans include 1 user. But you can provide access to UNLIMITED users with Team, Business, and Enterprise plans.
How secure are my files?
The security of your content is top of mind for us, which is why Sony Media Cloud Services is monitored 24x7x365 by Sony’s Global Security Operations Center. Our systems are subject to continual scan and regular penetration testing to help ensure that they are robust and resilient.
