360 Systems’
new Image Server Select provides fully
professional quality video, with features tailored to the needs
of Pro A/V. It leads the way with current file-based capabilities,
yet maintains connectivity with traditional equipment. Equally important,
Select delivers a broad range of production and playout
tools in an attractively priced package.
The Select server operates as a video recorder, a 3-channel
playout server, a mass-storage device, and includes a versatile
set of production tools. Beyond recording and playing professional
quality MPEG-2 video, it can also import DV files over a Gigabit
Ethernet link, from popular NLEs (editors) like Final Cut Pro®,
Adobe Premiere® and Avid.
Select’s hardware and software tools join together
to make a smooth upgrade path for tape-based studios. It’s
ideally suited for municipalities, cable head-ends, universities,
houses of worship and production centers. Select also includes
the advanced features needed for file-based production and distribution.
But equally important, it retains base-band connectivity and is
compatible with your existing equipment. Extras include a video
frame synchronizer and an audio sample rate converter, allowing
it to work with “wild” (non-genlocked) program sources.
Composite video ports and +4 balanced audio on XLR connectors make
this a drop-in fit at existing facilities. There’s no need
to buy extra outboard accessories.

Gigabit
Ethernet for Fast File Transfers
Select
shares content easily, thanks to its fast file-transfers over Gigabit
Ethernet. It’s able to talk to other servers, NLEs and to
Network Attached Storage. And it supports many file formats, including
MPEG-2, IMX (D10) and DV.

Production
Tools and Server in a Cost-Effective Package
Select servers come with a full-featured Graphic
User Interface that’s able to control its three
video channels simultaneously. VTR-style buttons and
time code displays give it a familiar look and feel,
while keyboard shortcuts like J-K-L keys speed up every
operation. You’ll be able to quickly perform head
and tail trims and segment programs for broadcast.
Select’s Advanced Playlisting tools provide
rapid list-building, editing and playout of everything
from news to complete program sequences. It includes
many production-oriented features like drag-and-drop,
looping, skip and hold. For many users, Advanced Playlisting
may be all that’s needed to get your programs
to air or cable.
Optional Remote Workstation
Software makes it easy to control the server from
any location in a building. Separate work areas can
be created for ingest, trimming and segmenting, building
playlists, or just monitoring server content. With Remote
Workstation software, every server function can now
be controlled using a low-cost PC and an Ethernet link.

Server Select Makes System Design Easy
Select
servers are compatible with cost-effective automation systems, like
those from Crispin, DTG, Leightronics, Nverzion and Tightrope Media.
So pick your system with the confidence that it will work exactly
as you expect. Six GPI ports are also included to work with push-button
panels and switcher outputs.
Popular desk-top
controllers like those from DNF, make the Select server
the perfect clip storage device for sports and entertainment events.
|
High
Reliability Storage
With Select, you get over 100 hours of internal storage
(at 8 Mb/sec.). Advanced RAID-5 technology spreads data across four
internal drives, resulting in a high level of security for program
material. It helps keep you on-air, even if a drive should fail.
Of course, drives are easily replaced from the front, without removing
the server from its rack. And the entire package fits in just 3½”
of rack space.
Best
of Class for Pro A/V
360 Systems brings legendary quality and reliability to products
for broadcasting and Pro A/V. With 35 years of experience and 30,000
hard-disk units in service, 360 Systems has more field experience
than any other manufacturer. The Select server’s
Pro A/V design is based on our success with more than a thousand
Image Servers, in use around the globe. Innovative features, and
the ability to handle content in many forms make the Select
server a “Best-of-Class” choice for Pro A/V.
Compare 360 Systems’ price and performance with anything else.
You’ll find that Image Servers offer the lowest price-per-channel
of all servers; and their cost-per-hour for program storage is the
lowest in the industry.
