Immersive Storage Calc

Immersive Storage Calc is a planning tool for immersive video productions. Size your storage, transfer windows, processing time, and archive budget for Apple Immersive Video workflows, from a single interview setup to a multi-camera feature.

Built around the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive and the Apple Immersive Video pipeline: BRAW acquisition (all constant and Q compression formats at 8160x7200 stereo), ProRes ProIM dailies, and AIVU deliverables.

CALCULATOR • Camera originals, per camera and per day, from real BRAW data rates • ProRes ProIM and AIVU dailies sized from resolution and bitrate (rates auto-fill and stay overridable) • Per-day schedule overrides: half days, splinter units, extra bodies (totals follow real camera-hours) • Transfer-time estimates with a real-world efficiency derate • Colorfront and DaVinci Resolve render-time estimates from your farm's measured throughput

DRIVES • RAID 0/1/5/6/10, ZFS RAID-Z1/2/3, and JBOD fit checks with hot spares • Visual drive layout, fill bar, headroom target, and cost per usable TB

COSTS • LTO-9 / LTO-8 archive costing with pack efficiency and copy count (3-2-1 friendly) • Cloud archive with your own vendor rates: $/TB/month, retention, egress. No baked-in pricing to go stale • Per-shoot-day and per-minute-recorded cost breakdowns

SCENARIOS & COMPARE • Unlimited named scenarios per project (A-cam only vs. full package, 12:1 vs. 8:1...) • Side-by-side comparison matrix: storage, time, cost, and array fit at a glance

EXPORTS • Native vector PDF report, CSV, and plain-text summary • Branded Reports (one-time purchase): your production company's logo and footer on every export

Everything runs on device. No account, no analytics, no network calls except the App Store. Estimates are for planning and quoting. Every rate and price is user-adjustable.
