1 Beyond RuggedRack™ ENG Truck System with HD OctoFlex™
Performance for a Video
Compositing, Editing and Compression System. This system is capable
of multiple format Editing and
Compositing supporting most formats including SD through
HD. The system includes:
- Intel 3.5 – 3.9 Turbo GHz
Intel Quad core processors which equals 8x 3.5GHz
processors
- 1600 MHz memory Bus with 8
GBs of memory
- High Performance Dual Port
Video card
Since most editing and compositing software now uses raw
processor power to interpret native codecs on the fly and for
calculating effects, the combination of 8 processors and a high
performance GPU is necessary for real-time
performance. The Storage is the most critical reliability
portion of the ENG Truck system. The RuggedRack uses an
ultrareliable new and unique storage design consisting
of:
- 4 removable SATA3 drives and
Dual Raid for doubly protected reliability against disk failure.
The RuggedRack has a
Dual Raid 1 configuration. One array for the data and one for the
system. The System Array is for the combination of System and
Applications and a separate partition for the Library
(Evergreens, archives and backup). The second array is
for AV Data and projects.
Also critical to the system reliability against storage failure
are the disks used in the RuggedRack design. These disks
are all Low-Mass Rugged Enterprise Level 2.5 inch drives.
These are a small fraction of the mass of standard 3.5” drives
which is critical to withstanding constant truck movement and
vibration.
- These drives are all front
removable for ease and speed of
maintenance. Other
system components and software include: Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000Mbs), Audio output.
- Ports include USB 3.0 for
connecting P2 card readers.
- 1 Beyond Wrangler software
is included for off-loading and verifying all ingested camera
memory data. It can also be used for exporting projects and
camera original data to external drives. A compatible disk reader
can be provided for
taking data from the removable drives in Post if
desired.
- Includes Windows 7, 64
Professional operating system.
- Each RuggedRack system comes
with an "as shipped"
turnkey image on a serial number coded Bootable Thumb Drive and a
full license copy of Acronus Backup software. If there is a system drive
problem, the system and applications software can be replaced
in minutes. A Backup
Image is also stored in the data storage. RuggedRack System
