PROMISE Technology will present its Thunderbolt 5 certified Pegasus5 R12 and R12 Pro storage at Inter BEE, running November 18–20 at Makuhari Messe, Hall 5 Booth No. 5507. The company frames the launch around what it describes as mounting pressure on production and post-production teams to deliver high-resolution, multi-camera and effects-heavy material faster.

Market Context Cited by PROMISE

PROMISE also points to Japan's role in 8K production and the adoption of 4K/8K and high-frame-rate workflows, saying studios now require local storage that can sustain multi-stream ingest, real-time editing and large-scale data movement without bottlenecks. The company claims the Pegasus5 series offers the bandwidth, capacity and reliability needed for these workflows.
