Time is the new currency in post-production. This session explores how Thunderbolt™ 5 removes large bottlenecks in modern editorial, VFX, and finishing workflows—data movement, storage performance, and system complexity. Through real‑world post scenarios, we’ll show how Thunderbolt 5 enabled Intel® platforms deliver the highest bandwidth, predictable low‑latency I/O, and one‑cable simplicity that transforms the time it takes for ingest, playback, collaboration, and mobile production. Learn how the growing ecosystem of Thunderbolt certified PCs, workstations, storage, and accessories enables faster turnarounds, simpler pipelines, and a future‑ready post‑production infrastructure.

We’ll also explore how Intel‑powered AI NAS accelerates video workflows with local AI for auto‑tagging and rapid media search, plus low‑latency access to large 4K/8K files over Thunderbolt and multi‑Gig Ethernet. With integrated Intel CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs enabling on‑device analytics and private LLM tasks — and with secure, scalable storage — creators can collaborate faster and prepare for future content demands.
