Get Your Hands On Remote Working Environments via the Digistor "Sandbox"

While the timeline for a return to the office is unclear, many organisations will be working from home a lot longer than originally planned. But how do remote workers connect to their workplace resources securely from wherever they are and achieve high levels of productivity? What type of media and entertainment workflows are supported?

We've set up a remote access "sandbox" in our Digistor Sydney HQ where you can get free access to try these solutions for yourself. Try out the technologies and solutions remotely from your home or workplace.

Simply complete the form and we'll get back to you and set up your demo.

Explore these technologies in real working environments to get answers to your operational questions.

  • How easy is it to get started for creative teams?
  • Will it work from anywhere? I have some very remote users who are interested.
  • Does it work for my specific media and entertainment (M&E) applications?
  • What does it feel like to work on an M&E-class remote access workstation? Is it better than TeamViewer? Is sound properly in sync?
  • How does a proxy streaming workflow work and what are the requirements for remote creative users?
