NAB – Las Vegas, NV (April 17, 2009) 360 Systems announced that its new MAXX-HD line of high definition video servers is now shipping. Making their first NAB Show appearance from April 18-23, MAXX-HD servers are now on-air coast-to-coast, and in-stock for immediate delivery. NAB attendees will have an opportunity to see MAXX-HD in action at the 360 Systems booth (North Hall #N-4120) as well as in the exhibits of various integrators.
More than two dozen MAXX-HD servers were delivered in March, the first month of production release, and are currently in service with television, cable, post-production and House of Worship customers. Beyond other HD servers on the market, MAXX-HD provides an unmatched price/performance package, and the lowest cost-per-channel. Its advanced features and high reliability are designed for the needs of broadcast and Pro A/V users.
“As a leading manufacturer of broadcast video servers, our installed base of 3,000+ video servers provided valuable input about the features and price point that mid- and small-market broadcasters and Pro AV users wanted in an HD server,” reports Jim Peacher, director of broadcast sales for 360 Systems. “The customer enthusiasm and order backlog we are experiencing suggests that the time we invested to listen and learn was well spent.”
The MAXX-HD line includes two models with different numbers of channels and storage capacity. In addition to the high definition capability, the MAXX-HD servers support slow motion playback in forward and reverse.
MAXX-HD FEATURES
The MAXX-2400HD features two record channels, four HD-SDI output channels plus SD monitoring, eight audio channels per video channel, 12 terabytes of internal storage, and a rich package of production tools - trimming, slow-motion, playlisting, and remote workstation software. Applications include play-to-air, satellite ingest cache, graphics store, key-and-fill with graphics, remote production server, or DTV sub-channel server.
Other features and capabilities include:
JPEG-2000 video at bandwidths from 50 to 125 Mb/sec
File-based workflow via Gigabit Ethernet
Compatible with leading automation systems and GPI devices
Slow-motion playback, forward and reverse
Up to 250 hours of program storage
Double fault-tolerant RAID-6 protection of stored program material
Hot-swap drives with easy front access
The smaller scale MAXX-1200HD provides one record channel, three HD-SDI output channels, optional HDMI outputs, eight audio channels per output video channel, four terabytes of internal storage, and the same production tools as the MAXX-2400HD. The MAXX-1200HD is well-suited for play-to-air, satellite caching, key-and-fill graphics, and remote production. The ability to simultaneously record, trim, and play a live feed - even at slow-motion - makes the MAXX-1200HD an excellent choice for live sports and event production.
Other features and capabilities include:
JPEG-2000 video at bandwidths from 50 to 125 Mb/sec
Three auxiliary HDMI outputs (optional)
File-based workflow via Gigabit Ethernet
Compatible with leading automation systems and GPI devices
Slow-motion forward and reverse playback
Up to 70 hours of program storage
