Simple R IIM – Powerful 1U Recording and Replay server with 10 GbE connectivity

Simple R IIM includes all features of Simple R II (1U chassis and light weight) and adds advanced recording and networking capabilities. The server is suitable for carry-on luggage.

Simple R IIM is equipped with 8 bi-directional SDI I/O. In the basic configuration, Simple R II supports the 442 mode for HD resolutions: 4 recording channels + 4 search channels + 2 playback channels + FX.

The top configuration provides:

  • For HD: Up to 7 recording channels + 7 search channels + 2 playback channels + FX
  • For 3G: 4 recording channels + 4 search channels + 2 playback channels + FX.

SSM cameras support

The Simple R II is integrated with Super Slow Motion cameras from most manufacturers, providing support for 2x, 3x, 4x SuperMo (e.g. Panasonic AK-UC4000). The number of required SDI inputs depends on the camera shooting speed

Transfer function – integration into the network environment

Simple R IIM servers support exchanging of video materials between locally networked slomo.tv servers. This allows clips from servers that work with high-speed cameras to be used by other servers for Summary/Highlights without additional hardware or software options.

For video exchange and integration into a high-performance network environment of TV companies Simple R IIM is equipped with a 2-port high-speed 10GbE interface. In addition, 10GbE allows recording to the NAS.

DMR™ (Direct Movie Record) – Multi-channel recording direct in NLE native file formats with absolute material protection

The Simple R IIM server is designed for comfortable recording of TV shows and events. It has a 10GbE interface and DMR™ option for recording for NLE.

The proprietary DMR™ technology - recording into native files of non-linear editing systems is the unique feature of slomo.tv servers. When working with the DMR™ server records video using selected codec (ProRes; AVID DNxHD; DVCPro HD; DVCPro 50; IMX; XDCAM 50; AVC-Intra 100/XAVC) to a built-in video array in a specially developed fail-safe high reliability file format and in native files of NLE systems on any available file storage.

Thanks to simultaneous recording to the built-in array and to any file media, the material is duplicated. This ensures that the recorded material is kept safe. Typically, recording is performed on 3.5" SATA HDDs installed in specialized toolless/trayless racks. For recording for NLE, an external 1U device with 4 DMR™ racks (DMR™ Station) is used, which is connected via USB 3.0. Recording can also be performed to a NAS via 10GbE interface, included in the basic configuration.

Support for "growing files"

The server supports work with "growing files" (MXF, XDCAM 50). Usually MXF "growing files" are recorded to a NAS, connected to the editing systems supporting such technology (for example, Adobe Premiere). This allows editing of video material right after the start of the recording.

SDX – High-speed SD card reader

The available SDX option adds an 8-channel, super high-speed USB 3.0 SD card reader. SD cards are used for exporting and importing video materials, as well as for recording to H.264 Proxy or ProRes standards.

SSD-based subsystem

Simple R IIM servers have SSD-based disk arrays. The use of SSD makes the systems more robust, especially when searching on all channels simultaneously. It also makes the system more reliable when working in harsh conditions like heavy vibration. The built-in storage capacity can be up to 400 hours of HD video 100Mbit (built-in storage expansion option).

3 graphics ports

Availability of 3 graphics ports allows connecting up to 3 monitors, which can be used to display the Main Interface, Multiviewer, as well as Game Analyzer (Telestrator). Provides comfortable work for the operator if there is enough space available.

Replay consoles

Control ZR replay console

The server comes with Control ZR replay console.

Control ZR is designed for maximum speed and efficiency. It has 51 RGB backlit buttons with light and color indication providing hints for the operator. The T-bar provides over 1000 values of lever position. The control panel provides direct access to 24 cameras in replay mode.The console can be equipped with Sony Jog/Shuttle or the Jog/Shuttle by slomo.tv. The Shuttle wheel has 64 left and right positions, which allows you to control the search speed and the playback speed with an accuracy of up to 2%. Control console can be connected via RS232/422, USB and Ethernet. It is powered by PoE, as well as by USB.
