Doremi Labs' MCS-HD Server sets a new standard in video server value and performance. The MCS-HD features two record and two play independent HD video channels with shared storage and selectable compression rates.

The MCS-HD quickly integrates into a facility's existing operations. It features a front panel that mimics familiar VTR controls and is compatible with Odetics and VDCP automation protocols as well as the P2 protocol. It can record all popular high definition and standard definition video formats.

The MCS-HD features JPEG2000 video compression of the SDI and HD-SDI inputs. JPEG2000 is particularly suited to HD video compression. It can provide near uncompressed quality video using a fraction of the storage required with uncompressed systems.

Highlights:

  • Records video using JPEG2000 video compression selectable from 15 to 300 Mbits/sec.
  • Frame accurate control via RS-422 or Ethernet
  • Accepts Odetics, VDCP and P2 machine control protocols
  • Compatible with leading broadcast automation systems
  • HD-SDI and SDI in/out
  • Up to 6 channels analog and 8 channels digital audio
  • Front panel video monitoring LCD screen (option)
  • Internal storage or external RAID-5 dual-redundant power supply (option)
  • Built on a dedicated video hardware platform
  • Video transitions fade, wipe and dissolve

Applications:

  • Broadcast Video Server
  • Broadcast Time Delay
  • Two Channel Sports SloMo
