360 Systems’ MAXX-2020 Reference Recorder

Two Channels  •  Zero Compression  •  12-bit 4:4:4


   
 
  Two Uncompressed HD Channels for 3-D and Multi-Screen
360 Systems’ new 2020 Reference Recorder provides truly lossless recording and playback in most professional HD formats. It’s one of the first machines able to record or play two HD streams at once, making it a first-quality choice for 3-D or multi-screen presentations. The 2020 also provides instant random access to full-resolution uncompressed scenes.

The 2020 Reference Recorder doesn’t encode images; it records the raster just as it is, bit-for-bit®. Any color space or bit depth can be used—with 8, 10, or 12 bits—limited only by the 1.5G or 3G digital stream.

Two unrelated HD streams can also be played at once—ideal for multi-screen displays, playback while recording, or simultaneous review. Each channel can even play sequences from a sophisticated built-in playlist utility.

The 2020 Reference Recorder is also a 3G recorder, capable of 12-bit X’Y’Z’ 2K at 24P, or 12-bit R’G’B’ 1080i at 60. At 3G, the 2020 is single channel, but two units can be synchronized with frame-accurate precision.
  Tools for Production
The 2020 Recorder simplifies connection to projectors or flat-panel displays with its extra HDMI outputs, in addition to the standard HD-SDI ports. Common 3D formats, such as interleave, side-by-side, R-L flip, etc. can be selected on the GUI. Also included are nine-pin serial ports, GPI inputs, LTC and ancillary time code plus VANC data, making the 2020 useful in many different work environments.

A clear GUI with familiar transport control keys gives full control of each channel. Key features include head and tail marking, trimming, segmenting, slow-motion, looping and pause.

Playlisting software builds run-downs of any length. Of particular value for exhibitions, each output can run with its own playlist. With the 2020’s trimming, playlisting and time code tools, this may be all that’s needed for a complex presentation.

Storage Options

The 2020 Recorder’s SAS technology creates a safe, low-cost way to store and transport video content. It contains 2.4 TB of internal disk storage, and can record from 2 to 10 hours of HD, depending on the format selected.

External SAS drive arrays are easily attached for almost unlimited storage. Drives are available in rack enclosures or compact portable magazines; each is instantly ready when connected.

Many projects do not require large external storage; small magazines with 300 GB drives are available off-the-shelf, and make a cost effective choice for video acquisition.

The accompanying time chart shows the storage time available from the four internal 600 GB drives. These figures can also be used to estimate running time of external drive systems.

 

 
2020 Reference Recorder Image Formats
Both Linear and Logarithmic R’G’B’ are supported in all bit depths. Time is related to frame rate, image format and color space. Times shown
are for internal storage in RAID-0. Reduce to 75% of for RAID-5. External SAS drive arrays may be connected for additional storage.
Not all video formats are available through the HDMI outputs; some require HD-SDI.
 
Versatile Production Audio

The 2020 Recorder provides eight SDI-embedded audio channels; two of these are also available as +4 balanced analog audio inputs and outputs. The optional DXP-3 multi-channel AES/EBU module provides 8-channels of discrete digital audio. Transparent playback of Dolby® encoded formats is assured by 360 Systems' Bit-for-Bit design.  

Features

• Embedded audio
• AES/EBU digital audio
• Redundant power
• Gold XLR-3 connectors
