FEATURES
It’s no surprise that 360 Systems’ new High
Definition MAXX-1200 HD follows the tradition
of the highly acclaimed Image Server family.
The MAXX-1200 establishes an important new
standard for quality and performance among
broadcast servers—three video channels,
four Terabytes ofi nternal storage, and
a great set of production tools—all in a
compact, low-cost package.
JPEG-2000 has distinguished itselff or
near-lossless encoding ofi mages, and
almost complete freedom from visual
artifacts. It sets a new level ofi mage quality
for High Definition, well-suited for production
and broadcast. JPEG-2000 is a first choice
for many new cameras and servers; and its
easy-to-edit I-frame format is accepted by an
increasing number of NLEs. The MAXX-1200 HD
runs at a wide range of video rates, making it
an excellent choice for production, broadcast,
and even high-quality projection.
2 HD-SDI playout channels
Three HD Channels
MAXX-1200 plays three high-definition video
streams at once, while ingesting another via
Ethernet. It also serves as a graphics store, with
linked key-and-fill capabilities. Standard features
include SDI video I/O (with frame synchronization)
for recording wild sources like tape, camera or
satellite feeds. Eight channels of embedded
audio or two channels of +4 analog audio are
provided for each video stream.
Workflows for the Next Generation
MAXX-1200 HD supports file-based work-flows
through its fast Gigabit Ethernet link. SDI inputs
and outputs, plus analog and digital audio
formats, make it a smooth fit for production,
broadcast, and Pro AV. Fully compatible with
leading automation, MAXX-1200 HD is ideally
suited for play-to-air, caching satellite feeds,
key-and-fill graphics, remote trucks, plus
slow-motion for sports.
