Introduction
360 Systems’ MAXX-2400HD™ server is a four channel, high-definition video recorder/server designed for broadcast, production, and Pro A/V applications. It can play four independent video streams at once, and stores approximately 240 hours of JPEG-2000 encoded video1 with eight audio channels per video stream. It occupies just 5¼” of rack space. The server’s extensive feature set makes it an excellent choice for VTR replacement, broadcast automation, remote trucks, corporate, educational, house-of-worship, and live entertainment presentations. MAXX-2400HD can be operated at high definition line rates of 720p or 1080i.
Seamless Installation in New Facilities
The MAXX-2400HD smoothes installation in a new setting, providing both HD-SDI video and composite monitoring outputs. Program file transfers are also available over Gigabit Ethernet. It’s never necessary to add outboard encoders; premium-quality JPEG-2000 codecs are included as standard equipment.
All professional audio formats are available with MAXX-2400HD. For surround sound, eight channels of embedded audio are included.2 Optional multi-channel audio modules provide 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio (Model DXP-1); and either 4 or 8 channels of +4 balanced analog audio (Model AXP-3 and AXP-4).
MAXX-2400HD’s versatile video and audio I /O personality is unique among HD servers, and guarantees a seamless fit in existing facilities, and as part of new build-outs.
Exceptional Storage Capacity
The MAXX-2400HD contains twelve 1-Terabyte drives in its compact enclosure, providing
240 hours of storage with exceptional image quality. Storage time varies proportionally at other data rates, as illustrated in the chart below.
The server’s RAID-6 disk array provides a high level of security for stored program content, by spreading parity information across all drives. It also helps keep the server in service, even in the event two drives were to fail. The multi-drive array also helps generate the data rates required for multiple streams of high definition video.
