GVS9000 1U VTR Workflow Options :
GVS90001U VTR offers a number of flexible options for DV to Uncompressed HD video, from single cameras, to as many as 16 concurrent capture, store and edit. (As new hardware is introduced, this number should grow) The key benefits and limitations are outlined below. The limitations are only based on the current software that available for real-time edit.
The above workflow example is shown with 3 cameras and one mix station. You can start with a single unit or as many units as you require for your project. The key considerations are the video formats, storage requirements, flexibility and cost that would be associated with each workflow.

GVS9000 1U VTR Workflow Options :
a. Gigabit Interface:
90001U VTR offers dual gigabit interface, which users can select from to share their media over TCP/IP with numerous different protocols, from mixed user environment to shared video and audio capture. This provides the least expense and ease of sharing for multiple concurrent users.
Limitation:
The bandwidth for the video and audio that can be recorded or played back
b. FireWire800:
With dual firewire 800 users have the option of easily mounting GVS qualified firewire drives for capture or play back of the audio/video content, and easy transport of the content in a quick time native format.
Limitation:
One user per drive and video format.
c. SATA Interface:
This is an ideal format - very low cost, and high speed that is built into the GVS9000 1U VTR. For protection, data gets mirrored on two sets of drives at the same time on Nomadic product family drives. After completion of capture or playback, users can simply remove one set of the drives from the facility and transport them to any location, and directly attach to Final Cut Pro, AVID, Premier, Flame, Inferno, Flint, Fire or Smoke. With multiple drive sets you can also accomplish higher video quality up to SD and HD.
Limitation:
One user per drive set and high speed uncompressed HD video quality.
d. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS):
A much newer storage technology that provides the speed and requirements for high speed uncompressed video and audio. This is an optional interface, and provides all the flexibility of SATA.
Limitation:
One user per drive set and cost.
e . Ultra SCSI320:
SCSI interface is an optional interface that i the same as SAS for speed.
Limitation:
One user per drive set, cost and not hot-swap.
f. Fiber Channel:
Fiber channel is the most ideal environment for more than one user and/or users in a live environment, offering both flexibility and reliability. It provides multiple GVS9000 VTR devices to interconnect, with the highest video quality, allowing sharing of content over the fiber network, with numerous SAN software, and edit review can begin as data is being captured (GVSAN is offered at no additional cost with Nomadic4U line.) . For additional storage requirements, the Nomadic4U offers users expansion very easily and on-the-fly, without having any down time during the capture process.
Limitation:
Cost.
g. LTC->IRIG-B :
IRIG day/hrs/min/sec and milliseconds are multiplexed in a format which allows the entire IRIG-B time code to be encoded with millisecond accuracy in each field of the video signal.
GVS9000 1U VTR Video Interface :
|
• SDI input (BNC)
• Reference Input (BNC)
• Component/Composite/S Video Output (3x BNC)
• AES In (1x XLR)
• Balanced Audio In (2-4 XLR))
• RS232 For Remote Management (IRIG-B time code) |
• 2 SDI outputs (2x BNC, independent outputs)
• Component/Composite/S Video Input (3x BNC)
• AES Out (1x XLR)
• Balanced Audio Out (2x XLR)
• DVI, VGA, S-Video out
• Dual HD/SDI 4:2:2 Expansion (Optional) |
GVS9000 VTR machine control, connect a 9-pin RS-422 cable directly to the 9-pin connector on the back of the machine, optional breakout box provides all the above video connectivity, optional fiber optic connection available.
