ABOUT CLOUZEN TAINER

The TAINER is not just portable but also crafted for easy and convenient operation. It can independently manage diverse backup tasks, featuring world-class, high-speed, and secure backup technology. Dive into a realm of ‘simple, fast, powerful, and secure’ backups, free from data loss concerns.

All-in-One Backup Solution

The TAINER doesn’t just stop at its internal SSD; it’s equipped with dedicated slots for SD cards, XQD, and CFexpress memory cards. Beyond that, it seamlessly links up with a range of devices—memory card readers, external hard drives, smartphones, and computers—via versatile USB ports. What’s more, it facilitates network connections through Wi-Fi or tethering, providing access to cloud services. Thanks to its high-capacity built-in battery, the TAINER ensures hassle-free backups whether you’re outdoors or on the go. Offering data backup functionality for all connected devices sets the TAINER apart.

Compact and Lightweight

With a weight of 196g and dimensions of 106 x 74.3 x 24mm, the ClouZen TAINER fits seamlessly into camera bags, backpacks, and even pockets. You won’t need to carry a separate laptop, external hard drive, XQD reader, SD card reader, or cables. With a size smaller than a typical mobile phone, the TAINER makes outdoor backups effortlessly simple.

Cloudable Connectivity

The ClouZen TAINER provides access to cloud services anywhere through LAN, Wi-Fi, and smartphone tethering. Safeguard your data through triple protection with cloud uploads, enabling real-time collaboration with colleagues worldwide. Currently, it supports OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

On-Site Video Editing

The ClouZen TAINER adopts a USB 3.1 Type-C port, allowing high-speed data transfer. You can seamlessly perform direct editing by connecting it to a computer, laptop, or MacBook. In this scenario, the TAINER functions as an external SSD, complementing the limited storage space of laptops and MacBooks.

ClouZen’s Technology

ClouZen boasts cutting-edge technologies that ensure top-notch backups, including the exceptional X-Copy technology supporting ultra-fast copying at up to 400MB/s. Other powerful features include bit-verification, sequential backup, incremental copying, as well as advanced photo and video encoding technologies, all guaranteeing the integrity and security of your backup data.

Sequential Backup
When you connect various types of memory cards simultaneously, the TAINER automatically backs up SD cards, XQD/CFexpress cards, and USB memory cards in sequence. ClouZen’s sequential backup technology streamlines the backup process for shoots involving multiple memory cards.

Incremental Copy
After shooting additional footage with a memory card that has already been backed up, inserting it into the TAINER results in the device identifying and copying only the new files. This saves time and enhances storage efficiency. ClouZen’s incremental backup technology prevents redundant backups of already stored data, making workflow more efficient (with an option to choose full data backup if needed).

Bit-Verification
The TAINER ensures 100% integrity of backups by comparing the original and backup files bit by bit. Additionally, it verifies the integrity of data by extracting the checksum value of the uploaded copy in the cloud and comparing it with the original. ClouZen’s bit-verification technology guarantees a flawless backup.

Preview
Preview feature enables you to play back all photos and video files shot and backed up on the built-in LCD of the TAINER. This helps prevent user errors that may occur during backup. ClouZen’s technology also supports the preview of 8K high-definition videos.

Camera to Local Backup Workflow

Local Backup
The TAINER remains true to the essence of backup. It can back up memory cards to the internal SSD, and by connecting an external storage device (SSD, HDD, docking station, etc.) to the USB, you can export copies. Moreover, you can also create copies by connecting the TAINER to a computer, laptop, or MacBook.

Smartphone Backup
The TAINER backs up photos and videos stored in the DCIM folder of your smartphone. Users can choose their desired options, copying only photos, only videos, or both. Additionally, the backup period can be selected from options like all, the past week, or the day of shooting.

Multi-Backup
The TAINER simultaneously backs up data from the memory card to the internal SSD and external storage. Leveraging this multi-backup feature allows you to create two copies in different locations at once. Furthermore, you can later create another copy in a different location through cloud upload.

Cloud Backup
The TAINER provides various network connection options. It can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, smartphone tethering and hotspots, and Ethernet. With these options, you can upload to the cloud without the need for a laptop docking.

Clouder App
Leverage the Clouder app to conveniently access key TAINER functions through your smartphone. Tasks like copying files between media, duplicating folders, and renaming become straightforward.

Search for the ‘Clouzen Clouder’ app on Google Play and Apple App Store.

Seamless Workflow
Upon returning to your editing workstation after a shoot, connect TAINER to your editing computer. In this mode, TAINER operates as an external SSD, allowing you to perform correction and editing tasks without transferring files to the computer.
