Any professional involved in video production knows about importance of having additional reserves – equipment or part of workflow process which in critical situations will help to complete the task. It can be a second satellite channel during sport broadcast or power generator in OB Van. In case of multichannel recording until recently it was one or two VCRs recording the PGM (still a partial solution).

The SafeGuard completely solves this problem by providing an 8-channel backup recording.

The server records in a loop 8 channel SD/HD SDI video with broadcast quality.

It can export recorded video in native NLE files in full resolution and as Proxy. Export can be carried out by the server software after recording stopped.

During recording export can be done by using Mediateka XCoder, working on another slomo.tv server.

In this case transcoding can be performed in any standard codec supported by that server.

Also, Safeguard recording can be started and stopped from another slomo.tv server on the network.
