MPEG-2@Disk

MPEG-2@Disk.  A standalone, real-time Digital Video Recorder/Player based upon the latest MPEG compression technology.  It records video and audio in either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 format, in real-time to CDRW or Removable Hard Drives.  A big advantage over tape-based VCR's is that the storage media we offer experiences minimal deterioration over time and no loss of quality, even after hundreds of playbacks.  This makes the MPEG-2@Disk the perfect choice for continuous playback duty and an excellent alternative to high performance VCR's.  It is available in a wide variety of configurations to offer maximum flexibility.  Composite, S-Video and Stereo Audio inputs and outputs are standard and other formats are optionally available.  All models are NTSC-PAL compatible with auto-detection.  User selectable bitrates of 1.2, 2.4, 4.0 or 6.0 Mbits per second permit a choice of the desired quality level when recording.  Front panel controls have a familiar VCR-type functionality, including a Jog-Shuttle knob.  Slow motion playback is a standard feature (available in 4 speeds), however it is recommended for use on the hard disk versions.    

RS-232 Interface.  Flexible control schemes are easily achieved from external devices.  Several third party machine control and automation companies, such as Leightronix and Matco, can provide standard or custom solutions.  Optional Scheduling Software is available to allow control from a PC.  Since all protocol is included in the manual, custom control software can be written by systems integrators and end-users.  In addition to standard VCR-type control functions, this interface also allows addressing of individual tracks, which makes it ideal for commercial insertion or video jukebox applications.  In addition to handling machine control functions, the RS-232 port can be connected to a PC to update the internal software systems of the MPEG-2@Disk machine.  This enables users to take advantage of improvements or additional features by downloading the new code from our website and updating the unit's non-volatile memory.   

Play List.  This standard function permits programmed playback of sequential or non-sequential tracks.  The Play List information remains on the disk, so when the MPEG-2@Disk is powered up, it can automatically go into the Play List mode.  The Play List can also be exported to a PC, manipulated and imported back into the MPEG-2@Disk.

IBM Removable Media
For maximum recording times, one of the versions equipped with an IBM Removable EIDE Hard Drive is the solution.  Hard drives are available in 40GB and 75GB capacities.  The 75GB version can hold 138 hours in the MPEG-1 format at VCD quality or 27 hours in MPEG-2 in DVD quality.  Special ATC (Around The Clock) software is available to permit constant recording and for video logging and surveillance applications. 

Optional Add-Ons
