Buffer Drives and Shared Library
Multichannel AirPlay MP systems include buffer storage drives
connected directly to each channel and a single, central shared library
of storage drives linked to all the channels via a SCSI network.
When a channel records new material, the digital video is stored on
the buffer drives for the channel. The system automatically uploads
the material to the shared library of storage drives. The system
automatically downloads the material from the shared library to the
playback channelÕs buffer from which it is played.
