Archiving & Clustering

nodaXT2

The world’s top broadcasters have consistently chosen EVS storage and gateway solutions for their mission-critical reliability, security and expandability. The core of the system is the XT[2] server from which media can be automatically transferred to a near line or central storage archive (XStore[2]) or removable hard disk drives (XFile[2]). With its scaleable architecture connected by media sharing network XNet[2], almost any number of servers can be clustered together to form a single large and secure storage environment.
All file management, archiving and video transfer is provided by integral software [X]File. Operators can log, browse, retrieve and form a multitude of functions from the intuitive [IP]Director control application.

For the production of short turnaround TV programmes, multi-day OB or studio production EVS near-line storage and archiving management facility provides the freedom to take full advantage of the XT[2] servers for instant record and playback.
