[SBE] Video Question

[Chris Spacone]

Kent,

 

Check out www.360systems.com Maxx-2400 HD server.

 

Features 250 hours recording and has options for analog audio, AES and
embedded, GPI control of recording, VDCP control (if you have automation)
and lots of other features. Go to
http://www.360systems.com/support_downloads.html and get a copy of the
manual. Page 16 describes some of the applications it can be used for
including wild feed recording. Page 28 describes GPI control and
specifically states that recording can be controlled using external switch
closure. Page 42 describes the file naming convention used for 'unnamed'
crash records. Page 53 covers how to configure the GPI's and the channel
assignments used for GPI control of the record function.

 

No, it isn't cheap but it will work.

 

I have used the 360 Imageservers for several years and they work quite
nicely. Your mileage may vary and I am not a shill for 360 Systems.

 

Contact me off list if you want more information and experience details on
usage, reliability & etc.

Subject: [SBE] Video Question

 

Hello Group.

 

Here's a question for the TV/video folks. Let say you have 4 feeds all
sending HD audio and video back to the your facility at the same time. If
you wanted to just record that video for future use with or without human
intervention what options are there on the market?

 

To help with some details, ideally it would either record on a closure from
a network or a timed recording session (feeds that come in at a set time
each day.)

 

Need to keep it for 30 days..FIFO method of file management so 30 days is
about all the storage I'd need. (Yeah, I know it's a huge number but it's a
starting point.) Assuming also that the feed is getting to you in HD-SDI
format.

 

I just can't seem to find the right search terms to locate it assuming it's
out there that is. I did see the Newtek Tricaster looks like it can do most
of what I need but I'm curious as to what else is out there. Anything
simpler?

 

I can do this a dozen ways with audio but once you start adding pictures to
the mix it gets into a hardware type that I have never dealt with.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
