Introduction
360 Systems’ MAXX-1200-HD™ and MAXX-1200-EX™ are three channel, high-definition video
recorder/servers designed for broadcast, production, and Pro A/V applications. They can play three
independent video streams at once, or record one stream and play two. The MAXX-1200-HD stores
approximately 70 hours of JPEG-2000 encoded video
1 , or 140 hours in the MAXX-1200-EX, with
eight audio channels per video stream. They occupy just 3½” of rack space. The extensive feature
set makes either model an excellent choice for VTR replacement, broadcast automation, remote
trucks, corporate, educational, house-of-worship, and live entertainment presentations. They can
be operated at high definition line rates of 720p or 1080i, at field rates of 50 or 59.94 Hz.
Seamless Installation in New Facilities
The MAXX-1200 smoothes installation with HD-SDI video inputs and outputs, as well as
optional HDMI outputs for displays and projectors. Program file transfers are also available
over Gigabit Ethernet. It’s never necessary to add outboard encoders; variable rate premium-
quality codecs are included as standard equipment.
All professional audio formats are available with MAXX-1200. Eight channels of embedded
audio and 2 channels of balanced +4 analog audio are provided for each video input and
output. The optional Model DXP-2 multi-channel audio module provides eight channels of
AES/EBU digital audio connection per channel (four stereo pairs).
MAXX-1200’s versatile video and audio I /O personality is unique among HD servers, and
guarantees a seamless fit in existing facilities, and as part of new build-outs.
Exceptional Storage Capacity
The 1200-HD houses four 1-Terabyte drives in its compact enclosure, providing about 70
hours of storage with exceptional image quality. Storage time varies proportionally at other
data rates, as illustrated in the chart below. The 1200-EX has double the storage capability with
four
2-Terabyte drives.
The server’s RAID-5 disk array provides a high level of security for stored program content, by
spreading parity information across all drives. It also helps keep the server in service in the
event a drive should fail. The multi-drive array also helps generate the data rates required for
multiple streams of high definition video.
