News – information about our products, projects and achievements - Slomo.tv

In August slomo.tv products were presented at Beijing International Radio, TV & Film Equipment Exhibition (BIRTV).

At the booth of GRUS Technology Co guests could see the world’s most compact multi-channel recording system with slow motion - Simple R 331. This SSD storage based device can operate in the most extreme conditions and is ideal for small mobile applications.

An 8-channel system provides simultaneously: 3 recording video channels, high-speed full-frame search on all 3 recorded channels and playback of 2 channels with transition effects between them.

The system utilizes industry-proven codecs DVCPro 50 / DVCPro HD and provides storage capacity of 33 hours in Full HD or 65 hours of broadcast quality SD video.

"This is probably the most advanced instant replay system on the market because of available options and possibilities." - noted many guests.

At NABSHOW 2013 slomo.tv presented a new free software option for all its servers - Simple DMR™ Recorder. We invite You to visit our stand at SL14205.

Simple DMR™ Recorder.

This is a single channel replay system with built-in DMR™ technology, allowing simultaneously with replays carry on recording of files in NLE native formats (MXF DVCPro 50/HD for Avid; QuickTime DVCPro 50/HD for Apple Final Cut, Adobe Premiere CS, Canopus Edius).

For maximum possible quality Simple DMR™ Recorder can use Apple Prores 422(HQ/SQ) codec.

SD proxy recording while recording Full HD video is a feature of all our servers with DMR™ support.

Another feature of the Simple DMR™ Recorder, inherent to any server that supports DMR™, is SD proxy recording while recording Full HD video. Location of Proxy and Full HD recorded files can be different. DMR™ files can be written to a Spin Drive or SSD. Available connections: eSATA, USB 3.0/USB 2.0, DMR™ SSD port.

Any Network File Locations from simple network shared directory to dedicated NAS connected via 1GbE can also be used.

This flexibility allows implementation of different scenarios – from passing the HDD or SSD to NLE station, to remote editing in case of writing to shared storage.

Along its traditional system videoReferee^® with wireless GoalNetCam and vR-Cam, the company demonstrated the most compact instant replay system in the world - Simple R 331 and its full-size "big brother" Dominator AT with DMR ™ technology.

In industry terms Simple R is an 8-channel system. It provides simultaneously: 3 recording video channels, high-speed full-frame search on all 3 recorded channels and playback of 2 channels with transition effects between them.

Dominator AT records 6 channels and offers a new level of integration into a complex broadcast or video editing environment. It can be connected via two 10GbE and two 1GbE channels to network attached storage (NAS) or directly to storage area network (SAN), using built-in 4G fibre channel interface.

Direct Movie Recording (DMR™) supports NLE native formats (MXF DVCPro 50/HD for Avid; QuickTime DVCPro 50/HD for Apple Final Cut, Adobe Premiere CS, Canopus Edius and for maximum quality - Apple Prores 422(HQ/SQ). It also provides SD proxy recording while recording Full HD.

Visitors were able to see the entire process of recording into native formats of NLE systems and immediate editing of removable DMR™ cassettes.

To promote its DMR™ technology the company decided from now on to include a free single channel Simple DMR™ Recorder in all its servers.
