GRass Valley Profile PDR server with ASH VALE slo motion controller PDR200

4 channel SDI hard disk DDR with slo motion controller

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED



 



NOTE:-  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.

 



1x  Main 5U rack mounted  tektronix 

video server (now grass valley)  system 

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.




1U

RS422 breakout box  with 8x rs422 remote ports (eg to connect edit controllers

to or editors / vTRs)




1x

PAC200  216  breakout audio box which gives you 8x analog XLR audio inputs, 8x XLR analog audio outputs,  8 AES XLR inputs, 8 XLR AES outputs.  Can be upgraded to 16 analog in and 16 out with extra  box if you wanted.




backup

copy of software on cd along with PDF manual



 



 



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 DDR channels (Digital disk

recorder)    (VTR) channels which can operate the same time


the

system can record upto 50mbit per second (compression is variable)   

(digi beta approx 48mbit / s,  beta SP 24mbit per seocnd) so is very

high quality recording and playback
. 


All SDI in and outputs are 270mb / s  with option of timecode and embedded audio in the signal also



 



Is

a cheaper system compared to EVS and BLT etc.



 



the

system is made by Tektronix / grass valley and is setup for PAL video currently

(can be changed to ntsc)



 



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.



 



 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)   or recording (including automation of sending the

recorded files over the fibre option network automatically),  

 in outside broadcast trucks for replays, used for editing video clips

(eg. For half time highlights package / playlists etc)  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



 



 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)  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.



 



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)  you can also send the video through the ethernet / 

fibre optic  networks should you want or do editing on the clips with

this server etc.



 



 



Examples of setup are below. (you

don’t  need to use all channels if you don’t want to)



 



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.









 



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



 



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



 



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:-  the original material which is being recorded is NOT

changed in anyway even though you are playing it back through another channel



 



Record

3 channels and playback 1 channel



 



Record

4 channel all at the same time
(eg.  for camera recording) 

 (video can be edited / archieved or played back  later)



 



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



 



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.  You may choose to loop record for live playout with timedelay etc



 



Instant

forwards or rewind for all video, slo mo, instant point to anywhere in video

etc.



 



you

can change the record / playback channels while system is being used including

video in / out, audio in / out etc etc.



 



 



NOTE:- 

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.
