New Uncompressed HDTV Video Disk Recorder
The Versatile V1-U.HD From Doremi Labs

Las Vegas, NV - NAB2001 April 23, 2001 - Doremi Labs is proud to offer the superior resolution of high definition television in a compact full featured recorder and player. The V1-U.HD is ideal for HDTV broadcast, post production and digital animation capture and replay.

The V1-U.HD can be used in place of any HDTV video tape recorder. Instant locate and instant play are time saving features that offer a distinct advantage over tape based systems. The V1-U.HD is particularly useful for the emerging 24p production market. Besides the ability to record and playback flawless uncompressed 24p video, the V1-U.HD features a film mode that can remove or add a 3:2 sequence and can also transfer 24 frames per second material to PAL's 25 frame speed.

Additional applications include the use of the V1-U.HD as a broadcast server for high definition programs and as a video recorder for digital animations to record, render, and playback video clips in real time. 100BaseT and TCP/IP over Fibre Channel allow the V1-U.HD to be shared among graphics workstations on a TCP/IP network to transfer QuickTime, RGB, TGA and other file formats using the included VConvert software utility.

The V1-U.HD records and plays uncompressed HDTV 720p, 1080i, 1080 24p and 24sf at 8 or 10 bit resolution. The base version of the V1-U.HD is available at a low price point and features 11 or 45 minutes of recording at 10Bit resolution in a compact 3RU chassis. The V1-U.HD is also available with a front panel that includes a jog/shuttle wheel and an optional video monitoring LCD in a 6RU split chassis configuration that can record multiple hours of uncompressed HDTV video.

The V1-U.HD can function as a Sony 9pin device via its RS-422 port and is capable of extremely accurate independent recording of each video, audio or time code track. It features high-definition digital video (HD-SDI), Y Pb Pr, and embedded digital or analog audio inputs and outputs. The V1-U.HD is also available with up to 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio.
