Grande Vitesse Systems

The GVS9000 2XU 422 includes 4 internal hot-swappable enterprise-class SATAII disk drives for content storage, local internal ingest and playback. It supports single channels of 10-bit Uncompressed RAW HD for the high-definition video I/O at up to 1,400 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.

Video Format Flexibility: GVS 2XU 422 VTR offers mounting space and power for up to twelve independent I/O modules which provide video encoding and decoding. GVS 2XU 422 I/O modules currently include a one channel HD/SD SDI unit and two HD/SD SDI output channels. There are a variety of combinations of I/O modules allowing any of the server types of HD/SD ingest and playback, mixed format, mixing HD and SD modules, and selection or change at any given time during the operation without down time.

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 2XU422 VTR offers Dual Fibre Channel connectivity allowing media transfer of 4Gbit/sec Fibre speed as well as connectivity to a standard SAN storage. The 1XU 12xPro offers an optional 12 external 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. This allows for greater productivity and reliability while also offering extreme cost savings.

Another key feature of the 2XU 422 VTR is the ability to edit during ingest, allowing editors to be extremely productive. For example, during live events, since the content is being edited in real time, you always have access to the latest material.

Compatibility:
GVS 90002XU 422 VTR is designed with the latest technology of the 9000 family product line but uses the same time-proven, robust code base as GVS9000 VTR Product and works out of the box with a large number of 3rd party applications supported by other 9000 systems, including automation, editors, archiving systems, and GVS Application Tools.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for asynchronous playback or file transfer and support of FTP, SMB and the Apple® File Sharing Protocol, provides simple, standardized file movement techniques for all your MPEG and web streaming projects, even areas in production that don't have Fibre access. Even the smallest broadcast and programming operations can implement the server-based ingest and playout operations or sophisticated file-based workflows in RAW Uncompressed or a broad range of compressed video formats.

By delivering this high level of performance in a fully integrated system, GVS 2XU 422 establishes a new line of the highest quality, compact, versatile, professional grade, multi-channel media servers.
