◆ Packs up to 300GB of high-performance
audio storage in a single 1U enclosure
that requires only 1.75-inches of rack
space. Stack three AudioRack LPs. and
over 1TB (1000 GB) of storage can be
configured in only 7 inches.
◆ The 2-drive versions of AudioRack LP
support the simultaneous playback of up
to 24-tracks of audio. The 4-drive ver-
sions support 64-track sessions of 24-
bit/96kHz audio and are the ideal storage
solution for professional DAWs including
Nuendo,Pro Tools and Tascam MX-2424.
◆ AudioRack LP is optimized with Medea’s
proprietary AST (Audio Stripe
Te c hnology) to support 64-track sessions
in a single SCSI ID.
◆ AST enables independent seeks to the
disk drives in AudioRack LP and dynami-
cally distributes audio tracks evenly
among the drives.The bottom line is that
you can simply record/playback up to 64-
tracks to/from a single AudioRack LP and
eliminate forever the need to manually
manage your audio media by juggling
between multiple storage devices.
◆ AudioRack LP attaches to any DAW
equipped with a SCSI host adapter.
Simply attach and initialize the system as
if it was a single disk drive.
◆ As your audio storage requirements grow,
AudioRack LP systems can be daisy-
chained together for storage capacities up
to 4.5 TB (4500 GB)—over 65 hours of
64-track, 24-bit/96kHz sessions.
◆ AudioRack LP is ultra-quiet and won’t
interfere with your productions.
◆ Backed by a 5-year factory warranty
PYRO DV RaidRT is hardware-based FireWire RAID array enclosure designed
for DV content designers who edit, create and store large mission-critical video
projects. It provides more reliable storage and faster speeds than a single hard
drive alone.
PYRO DV RaidRT is a four-bay RAID enclosure that accommodates Ultra ATA
100 hard drives. These drives are converted to FireWire/IEEE 1394 using
internal dual channel RAID controllers. PYRO DV RaidRT utilizes an Intel
i960 RM RISC Microprocessor and also includes 64 MB SDRAM for cache
memory. Once drives are installed, it supports RAID level 0, 1, 0+1, 3 or 5.
Installed drives are hot swappable and one drive can also be used as a hot spare.
◆ Stripe Hard Drives for RAID 0, 0+1, 3 or
RAID 5
◆ 4 Removable Hard Drives, Hot Swappable
◆ Serial communication port enables array con-
troller operation via PC VT terminal controller
◆ Capture 48 Tracks of 24 BIT Audio
