GRass Valley Profile PDR server with ASH VALE slo motion controller PDR200
4 channel SDI hard disk DDR with slo motion controller
Â
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Â
NOTE:-Â if you need 4 channel composite output board, we have this separately and can install it in this system if you want free of charge if you buy the composite board. COposite board gives you extra 4 video outputs in composite format. (can be used at same time as SDI outputs)
1x   ASH VALE enhanced slo motion controller with T-Bar slo motion control. . Stores 1000 cue clips with built in memory etc. Slo motion playback with shuttle / jog knob or with T-bar for accurate slo motion / vairable playback speed (-1 - +3 speeds) or from 0 - 100perfect playback speed STILL option etc. Varibale speed can be adjusted for T-bar if you want also to get exact speed requirements to suit specific job.. Has fast search, shuttle search etc, Linked to CTRL or timecode also. Cueing points can be reviewed / and user selctable for any one, or ready for next one etc. VTR channels can be ganged on controller if you want.  Was used with PDR200 and ash vale controlled the 2 playback channels for replays in normal 2in/ 2 out PDR200 setup when used for doing cueing / highlights and slo mo replays. As system is hard disk DDR, all cueing or next cue is instant of course.
Â
1x Main 5U rack mounted tektronixÂ
video server (now grass valley)Â systemÂ
with built in hard disks for internal video recording (can be expanded
with disk arrays or sharing video with fibre optic network. Great for use for instant replays, time delay
playback etc.

backup
copy of software on cd along with PDF manual
Â
Â
The
system is setup and ready to be used once it arrives, we will also try and
leave some video on the machine for test purposes for you also.
 Time code cable with XLR connectors will be included if we can find it. (also have wiring diagrams for all connectors including remote etc if you need these also)
DETAILS
We
are selling a professional broadcast TAPELESS hard disk  based
video server with 4 separate DDRÂ channels (Digital disk
recorder)Â Â Â (VTR) channels which can operate the same time
the
system can record upto 50mbit per second (compression is variable) Â Â
(digi beta approx 48mbit / s, beta SP 24mbit per seocnd) so is very
high quality recording and playback.Â
All SDI in and outputs are 270mb / s with option of timecode and embedded audio in the signal also
Â
Is
a cheaper system compared to EVS and BLT etc.
Â
the
system is made by Tektronix / grass valley and is setup for PAL video currently
(can be changed to ntsc)
Â
These
systems are compared to similar systems  but these are considered
better for some applications due to there ease of use with the software and high
quality recording and better software for the system to be used in studio
environments also.
Â
 These
systems ere used worldwide in studios for playing out live to transmission, in
TV studios and setup for automation playing out (louth automation and odetics
included)Â Â or recording (including automation of sending the
recorded files over the fibre option network automatically), Â
 in outside broadcast trucks for replays, used for editing video clips
(eg. For half time highlights package / playlists etc)Â and especially
for slo motion replays as slo mo playback can be slowed to frame by frame
or as slow as 0.05x speed (whether normal slo mo or slo mo playback of super
slo mo 75 frame a second cameras, the system can record any SDI input, for
super slo mo 75 frame a second cameras, you may need extra software
Â
 We are supplying a ASH VALE slo motion controller with system also.
These
systems have built in hard disks (upgradeable) so you never have to worry about
tape heads, clogged tapes etc. You can run these systems all day without any
fuss.  For the hard drives, you can also add extra drives with
disk arrays or raid arrays to the 68pin scsi external connectors (while still
using the internal disks)Â or you can use storage from the Ethernet /
fibre optic networks (eg. Share video either sending or receibing video through
these networks. Fibreoptic is best as think is 1000mb/s transfer rate.
Â
This
system is made by Tektronix (grass valley) and is model PDR200 (PDR204D)
The
system has 4 built in DDR channels which in effect is like 4 VTRs but
instead of using tapes, you record onto hard disks. The advantage also is
that you can have instant access to your recorded material and can share it and
play it back through the other DDR channels instantly (whether through 1 or
several channels)Â you can also send the video through the ethernet /Â
fibre optic  networks should you want or do editing on the clips with
this server etc.
Â
Â
Examples of setup are below. (you
don’t need to use all channels if you don’t want to)
Â
note.,
you can also setup the channels for loop record or loop playback,, loop record
is ideal when using system for replays etc as the system will always
record, when video capacity is full, it will then re record over the
first bit of video recorded etc.
Â
Playing
out video with between  1- 4  of the DDR channels (eg.
Playing out to live transmission) so you can playout 4 TV channels if you
wanted or play out 2 and then play out the same one with time  delay on
them also. You can play out the same video clip through all 4 channels without
the original video clip being altered in anyway
Â
Record
in 1 channel, playout with 1-3 channels (eg. Record your mixer
output, use 1 playback channel for slo motion replys, another playback channel
for editing etc) The video being recorded will NOT be affected even though you
are playing it out through other channels
Â
Record
2 channels and playback 2 channels. This is the most popular
setup for OB
trucks etc. (record 2 inputs (eg. Mixer output or cameras) and then play back
the material which is being recorded and palyback for slo mo replays etc or do
editing. NOTE:-Â the original material which is being recorded is NOT
changed in anyway even though you are playing it back through another channel
Â
Record
3 channels and playback 1 channel
Â
Record
4 channel all at the same time (eg. Â for camera recording)Â
 (video can be edited / archieved or played back  later)
Â
Record
1x  75 frame a second slo motion camera and playback
it from this server. As is 75frams a second, this will take up 3 record
channels like other systems setups do also. (This is why these systems are
great for super slo mo as is a cost effective way of doing it
Â
All
video material recorded is stored permanently onto the hard disks for instant
access for replays, editing the video clips  or can be used anytime later
etc. Â You may choose to loop record for live playout with timedelay etc
Â
Instant
forwards or rewind for all video, slo mo, instant point to anywhere in video
etc.
Â
you
can change the record / playback channels while system is being used including
video in / out, audio in / out etc etc.
Â
Â
NOTE:-Â
you can change the configuration and setup of the system even when it is
recording, (eg. Start new DDR channels etc_ this is why these systems are
popular as you can config the system and changes its use when it is still
recording etc.
Â
Some
 system features are
Â
- Compact 5U high rack
mounted main system. Doesn’t stick out much past the rack you install it.

studio where you want to share video or play video from other storage
locations etc. We know studio setups using over 200 of these systems
together. - System alarm warningsÂ
for over heating, fan failure etc. - Ease of use with easy to
use software (once setup, depending on your application, you may never
need to touch software again) - Upto 10,000 video clip
capacity management can be used with the server meaning it is
perfect for studio use etc for playing out to live transmission etc. - Built in 6 or 12 hours
approx video storage with audio and timecode. (can be increased, see
above). We will include at minimum 6 hour internal video storage ,
possibly 12 hours as we may have some spare bigger drives to upgrade the
system with. - Slo motion playback from
0.05x speed forwards or backwards. Shuttle mode for fast video search or
direct point to anywhere in video if you want also. - 4 dedicated recording
/ playback codes which can record in upto digi-beta quality. The
compression rate for recording is user selectable incase you want to
maximise record time or maximise quality etc. - Record channels can be set
on duration of record, loop recod etc, playback can be loop playback
also etc. - 4 DDR channels lets you
record 4 different SDI inputs / play out 4 SDI channels or do a mixture of
both ALL at the same time (eg record 4
camera channels at the same time on this system) - 4 SDI digital component
270mb/s video inputs (BNC) and 4 SDI digital component soutputs also
(BNC). - SDI monitoring of each
record channel when recording (as outputs are on separate BNC connectors)
you can monitor the record channel through the SDI outputs also. - 16 channel of uncompressed
audio for incoming video (upto 16Â channels audio per video
signal)Â . Audio into / out from server can be embedded (4 channel)
in the video signal, AES via XLR or bnc (no video)Â or analog XLR
 (you may need option breakout box) - Option to use 4 channels of
embedded audio in the video input or output signal - Can be used as an automatedÂ
playout centre with option of automation handling of video files or manual
handlings of video files - Can be used with time delay
software (optional)Â which is great for playing out with a time delay
(eg. Big brother with 15 min delay or +1 hour TV channels etc) You can
also use the built in control panels to playback with a time delay also
without any extra software) - Everything is changeable by
click of button when system is running and recording, doing replays or
playback etc. You can change video, audio etc while system is
running etc.. once system is loaded up, that’s it, everything is
changeable anytime you want. - Each control panel in the
software can be controlled with the built in software or by external
remotes / automation, (eg. Louth automation, odetics control,Â
 BVW  remotes (operate system like a sony BVW type remote panel)
, Ash vale remotes, DNF, sony tek etc or any other DDR compatible
remote etc) - Built in remote panels,
edit panels and slo motion panels within the software among other software
control of whole system including video file management, playlist, clip
management, slo mo etc - Remote port / breakout box
