GVS BASS STATION

Unlike tape decks, the 2XU 444 captures the RAW data from dual HD SDI interfaces from Sony HDCAM SR Decks, ARRI D-21, Thompson Viper cameras direct to disk, saving hours in the editing process. In addition ingest of 2K media provides users with utmost image quality via HSDL (high speed data link) using SDI connections from 2K telecine machines as well as 2K sequential DPX files and 2K QuickTime reference movies created simultaneously. 2K playout via HSDL further enhances the flexibility of 2XU 444 VTR to work with other 2K equipment and direct output to projectors compatible with 2K. The playback feature of the 2XU 444 allows 2K material to be previewed on standard HD 24P monitors. 2XU 444 Dual Link supports full bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bit for 1080i/p and 720p formats and can also convert between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats for single Link HD-SDI output. The 2XU 444 can also playback a large number of AVI, JPEG, DPX, MPEG, MXF, IMX and QuickTime files via HD SDI. And because raw data images are quite large optional proxy files are provided. The 2XU 444 offers concurrent live duplication of content during production.Removable Solid State Disks (SSD) are available as an option.

2XU 4:4:4 VTR–rugged, yet extremely quiet solution for recording studios


The GVS9000 2XU 444 includes internal hot-swappable enterprise-class media disk drives pack for content storage, local internal ingest and playout. It supports dual channels of 10-bit Uncompressed RAW 4:4:4 RGB HD for the high-definition video I/O at up to 2,800 Mbps, or standard-definition video I/O at up to 100 Mbps, while at the same time handling IP-based file transfer traffic in and out of the system. Video I/O modules and redundant power supplies are also hot-swappable providing uninterrupted operation in the field or studio.

Video Format Flexibility: GVS 2XU 444 VTR provides mounting space and power for up to twelve independent I/O modules, which provide video encoding and decoding. GVS 2XU 444 I/O modules currently include a dual channel HD/SD SDI/HSDL input and output channels. There are mixed format, mixing HD and SD modules, and selection or change at any given time during recording for master or copy.

The use of Fibre Channel RAID storage ensures that the system continues to operate at the speed of 3Gbit/sec., even in the event of the simultaneous failure of any number of the disk drives. In addition, the 2XU 444 VTR offers Dual Fibre Channel connectivity allowing media transfer of 4Gbit or 8Gbit/sec Fibre speed as well as connectivity to a standard SAN storage. The Nomadic1U 12xPro offers an optional 12 external SSD drives.

Having the Dual Fibre Channel provides flexibility for broadcast and video production studios, allowing ingested content to be stored in a centralized location without having to move data in between media servers and offers greater productivity and reliability.
