GVS9000 2XU VTR
One unique feature of the GVS9000 2XU VTR is its Solid State Disk (SSD) providing much higher product capability without sacrificing features. Solid State Disk is offered for all the models of GVS9000 2XU VTR, giving users the ability to maintain high data access, and providing greater stability and ruggedness, a simple upgrade path, and the option for future growth.

The 2XU-VTR is a rugged, low profile, rack mountable and portable system occupying less than 21" deep rack space. It's an innovative, completely ruggedized field recorder, designed with open architecture and extreme low power consumption, providing you the ability to record HD while in transit.

Users can quickly capture video and audio clips of any length and size either manually, via remote control, scheduled or camera controlled. At only 2U high and 21" deep, several 2XU-VTR stations can be stacked in a compact area, offering 8 concurrent uncompressed 4:4:4 recordings with one simple record button, with genlock and LTC embedded in all your clips.

Real-time editing options are available with Final Cut Studio 2 on specific models of 2XUe. These options provide the ability to support dual DVI display for high speed uncompressed HD editing in the studio or field. Another one of the unique options that 2XU VTR offers for live or news event is editing media during capture. In addition to this option, GVS9000 VTR's offer proxy files for editors which assist in content production within your office or across the web for edit and preview with Final Cut Pro. But perhaps the VTR's key feature is its ability to create duplicate HD disks simultaneously. While one remains with the VTR, the 2nd hot-swap disk goes out to the post house, for immediate edit without the need for file conversion or data transfer.

For online storage, the 2XU VTR is designed with multiple redundant drives to ensure data security at any given point during recording, even when recording in motion, such as in a vehicle chase, or high speed races, where you need to record uncompressed content direct from HD SDI camera to disk.

Additional edit options available with GVS9000 2XU VTR can provide complete uncompressed DPX or Quicktime files after or during capture, with HD SDI preview, with time code embedded file support during edit with mark-in and mark-out as well as XML clip capability allowing operators to mark subclips on the fly, and modular architecture supports multiple record, playback and Final Cut Pro editorial channels in the studio or out in the field.

GVS also offers custom digital camera interfaces for support of simple recording and stop with real-time preview on the GVS9000 2XU FlyPack HD SDI LCD display with embedded time-code during the shoot. For multiple camera shoots, GVS offers a simple and easy-shared storage option using GVSAN to help simplify uncompressed content without the need to transfer in the production environment. With the GVSAN technology you get the highest data access and most quiet on-set recorder. Connect via 4GB fibre channel to the Nomadic4U or and GVS9000 4XU running GVSBASS (broadcast automation software solution) with Final Cut Pro and you have a complete solution to capture, store, edit, broadcast and archive in a shared fiber environment.
