DVC Digitalvideo Computing GmbH supplements its uncompressed HDTV and SDTV Diskrecorder product-family with the ClipServer. The ClipServer is a compressed multi-channel Video and Audio server, which specially supports several compression-standards.
The ClipServer encodes and stores MPEG-2, 4:2:2P@ML, 4:2:2P@ML as well as DV25 and DV50. The ClipServer covers MPEG 50 and DVCPRO, both known Broadcast Production Standards.
As well as multi-standard processing, the following features are important stand-alone attributes of the ClipServer:
- 2-12 videochannels with 1 AES/EBU stereo channel for every videochannel
- Synchronous Recording and Play-Back
- „Open network-architecture“
The ClipServer is equipped as a stand-alone system with a SCSI Disk-Array or RAID. For integration in SAN Storage Area Networks, the ClipServer will be delivered with Fibre Channel interface. As SAN Node, the ClipServer works as multi-channel Video- and Audio Digitizer Encoder/Decoder. Due to its open file support technology and the Broadcast standard protocols, a simple SAN integration is warranted.
The optional MediaReactor File Translation Technology makes digital media files available to non-linear editors, graphic workstations, …
For „PLAY TO AIR“ application, the ClipServer can be operated via all known automation controller via Sony, Louth or Odetics protocol.
