Simple R II is an affordable entry-level slow motion replay server for basic tasks
Like all Simple R servers, it has a compact 1U chassis, light weight and is suitable for carry-on luggage.
Simple R II 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 II 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 II is equipped with 1GbE interface.
SSD-based subsystem
Simple R II 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 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.
Demo licenses
With each server, the user gets 20 demo licenses for single use of various options. This allows testing the options in real production.
