      Support Uncompressed 10 bit HD


    8-bit HD S2VR HD utilizes 5 SATA drives for maximum performance to serve 10 bit uncompressed HD formats.

      3Gb/s Bandwidth, Cost Only 50% of Fibre Channel Solutions.


    At 230 MB/s, editors can easily handle 10 bit uncompressed HD footage without waiting for rendering or spending money on expensive SCSI or Fibre Channel solution. A Fibre Channel solution requires an expensive RAID storage box, SAN management software, a Fiber Channel switch, and Fibre Channel HBA. The initial investment will be over $10,000. SATA 3Gb/s is the most affordable alternative solution for editors and studios that do no require sharing the same content in the same storage pool but need high performance and data integrity.

      Reliability and Protection


    In protected mode, the S2VR HD provides continuous full time protection of your valuable digital content. If a hard drive should fail, the S2VR HD will automatically rebuild your content in a very short period of time.

    SuperLane is a simplified cabling design that allows multiple drives to be connected to SATA controller via one SATA port. Helping you better manage the cabling behind S2VR. Port Multiplier

      Hot Plug Perfect for
      Sneaker Networking


    Physical transport of your data between workstations is easily accomplished. Simply turn-off the S2VR, remove the eSATA cable from your computer, go to the new location, plug in the cable and turn the S2VR back on. This can be done without turning-off or rebooting your operating system.


      Frees up FireWire Ports
      Perfect for Video Professional


    In most PC's or Mac's, without the addition of a PCI or PCIMCA card, the FireWire ports share the same bus and split the bandwidth between all connected peripherals. The S2VR utilizes the SATA 3Gb/s port on the FASTA adapter freeing up the FireWire ports allowing connection of other peripherals such as the AJA Io LA, LD, DV Camcorders, etc to have the full bandwidth.

    For video professionals

      Modular Design


    The S2VR's drives, fan and power supply are designed to be swappable. Our modular design allows the fan and drives, which can potentially fail, to be easily and quickly hot swapped reducing downtime on time-critical projects.
