GENERAL INFO:
The Abekas 6000 DTV Production Server is one of the state of the art
digital disk recording systems from Accom, designed for mission-critical
on-air broadcast operations. The Abekas 6000 represents a new generation of
broadcast television servers and is designed for multiple applications. It
features DVCPRO and MPEG-2 compression with user-selectable bit rates of
either 25Mb/s or 50Mb/s, can be configured with 2, 4, 6, or 8 digital video
I/O channels, and offers 130+ hours of local RAID-5 disk storage in a single
server.
By employing an optional fibre-channel network, up to 32 stand-alone
Abekas 6000 servers can be linked into a single enterprise server system.
Unique to the Abekas 6000 is a VTR-style hardware control panel that's
used for all server operations -- and which completely eliminates the need for
a WinPC, VGA display and mouse typical of most video server systems. In
addition, each I/O channel can be independently controlled via external
station automation using Louth, Odetics or Sony protocol -- or by using the
Abekas 6000 native Ethernet API. A future-proof, modular architecture
separates video and networking I/O from the ultra high-bandwidth disk
recording system, allowing a multitude of custom combinations of storage, I/O,
and control from a few standard system components.
The Abekas 6000 video server also features many "ready to go" built-in
applications, such as List Play, Time Delay and VTR ingest -- all controlled
from the user friendly and easy to understand hardware control panel. Accom's
"clip-based" recording format greatly simplifies manual recall-to-air
operations, makes it easy to exchange material between networked systems, and
allows I/O channels to be simply "paired" for straightforward "video+key"
recording and playout.
