Time Delay Features
• Functions in a stand-alone configuration with no external machine controls, and requires no
third-party software.
• Operates unattended for long periods of time. No operator intervention or file maintenance
required for continuous operation.
• All settings are non-volatile, allowing unattended restart on power-up. The unit automatically
reconfigures itself for the last-specified time delay, and re-enters the record/playback cycle.
• System configuration is accomplished through a GUI interface using a local keyboard, mouse
and VGA monitor.
• Allows user to specify a frame-accurate delay time, such that multiple units will play back in
frame-accurate sync when fed identical input video.
• RAID-5 hardware-based drive array protects stored data against a single drive failure.
• 1 program input, with selectable CVBS or SDI input connection. 1 E-E monitor output, 1
delayed program output. SDI and composite video BNC connectors provided. Each output
appears on both SDI and Composite simultaneously.
• Records video in MPEG-2, 4:2:2 profile, 30 Mb I-frame.
• Records user-choice of audio sources: 2 stereo pairs SDI embedded, 2 stereo pairs AES/EBU
digital, or 1 stereo pair of +4 analog. XLR-3 connectors are provided on the rear panel.
• Compatible with Dolby®-E and Dolby®-AC-3 audio.
• Captures and plays VITC (Vertical Interval time code).
• Accepts analog video (black burst) reference for genlocked playout.
• Synchronizes to video input upon loss of external reference.
• Upon loss of input video, records black until input is restored.
• Outputs SDI black and audio silence during the recording interval preceding the desired
program output delay.
• Captures and plays VBI data. See table.
• Special handling for Video Index data on line 11 in PAL format.
• Front panel status LEDs: power, genlock, RAID status, fan failure, system errors.
• System Monitor signals available from GPI Outputs to indicate RAID status, fan failure, system
errors, loss of genlock and loss of input.
• 2 rack-unit (3¾”) height. Forced-air cooling. 160 watt power consumption.
