Slomo.tv, a leading international supplier of cost-effective, high performance server-based video recording and instant replay systems has launched a new integrated content creation and capture solution which combines its Simple RII server and the world’s smallest true HD camera - Lux Media Plan’s HD1200.
This small but deceptively powerful production solution integrates slomo.tv's 1U compact 8-channel Simple RII replay server with Lux Media Plan’s HD1200 mini-camera. LMP’s camera shoots 120fps progressive Full HD. It provides high performance 50 per cent-speed slow motion video and meets all the requirements of a modern progressive Full HD video world. One Simple RII> server can support two LMP cameras simultaneously.
The compact mobile solution has generated interest from rental companies that frequently need to move from one installation to another with minimal time for build-up and break down. The system’s form factor is so compact that one Simple RII server and two HD1200 mini-cameras can be transported within standard size case.
The key advantage of the solution is the ability to install LMP’s HD1200 via SMPTE fibre cable in places that are unsuitable for conventional cameras, such as goal mouth corners in football, and on the jump infrastructure in high jump competitions.
The 1U Simple RII is the market's most compact SSD-based broadcast grade instant replay server. It supports 662 configuration (6Rec+6Search+2Play) for HD and 442 for 3G signals. It has a wide range of options, including SuperMotion, NLE and videoReferee® application. An intuitive user interface and control panel make the Slomo.tv server easy to understand and operate. Also, it has three graphics outputs and can record and store up to 266 hours of 100MBit HD video.

At IBC (booth 8.B40), Slomo.tv, a leading international producer of cost-effective high performance video record and instant replay systems, will debut the world's smallest video replay server. Designated Ripley, this unique video replay server is configured within the form factor of the replay controller.
"Ripley is another significant step that Slomo.tv is taking in making our solutions affordable and desirable for the broadest range of sports production" said Michael Gilman, CEO of Slomo.tv. "This controller/server combo builds on the success of our Simple R and Jr. products: but in this case, our design engineers have succeeded in creating a fully functional server inside a 4.5 kg controller. This opens up a whole new world of opportunities for anybody who wants a broadcast quality slow motion instant replay server for sports and video-judging applications."
Ripley is configured with eight separate bi-directional HD/SD SDI-interfaces supporting HD/SD channels in a 442 configuration (4 record, 4 search and 2 replay channels). Despite its ultra-compact form factor, Ripley supports 2x-3x SuperMotion cameras.
Also, Ripley can be used as a four-camera sports video judging unit. It has two graphics ports for the main interface and multi-viewer monitors. If the operator has only one monitor available, he can easily switch between these modes using the unit's MultiSkin function. For easy integration within wider workflows, Ripley comes fitted with LTC input, an RS232/422 port as well as two In and two Out GPO interfaces.
Another unique feature of Ripley is four SDHC memory card slots for video import and export. Four-channel recording is achieved with H.264 or AVC-Intra 50Mbit codecs. Within the server, the recorded material can be exported for NLE editing by most popular codecs including ProRes, AVID DNxHD, XDCAM 50, DVCProHD, AVC-Intro.
As standard, the server has a 1GbE networking interface for file exchange between other systems. This combo server also includes two free options – a transfer (networking) option for exchanging clips and playlists within Slomo.tv servers and a telestrator (Game Analyzer), which allows drawing on the video being played.
Slomo.tv reports that Ripley has been developed as a replay server for fly-away installations. Its robustness alongside with distinctive intuitive user interface makes it an ideal redundancy unit.
Ripley will make its European debut at IBC (booth # 8.B40).
