Description

The For-A Linear Tape Open LTR-120HS AVC Intra Video Archiving Recorder is a standalone video archiving recorder fitted with an LTO-5 (Linear Tape Open) drive. Capable of recording up to 1.5 TB of LTFS file data, LTR-120HS recorder can be used as platforms for material or program exchange. 

The recorder offers many useful features, including HD/SD-SDI input/output, broadcast quality codec, and MXF (OP-1a) wrapping and unwrapping. The MXF files recorded on LTO-5 can also be used with non-linear editing systems.

Features

LTR-120HS features include:

  • Enables users to build an archive system entirely based on LTR technology
  • The entire archiving workflow, from ingest, distribution, archiving and re-purposing, is possible using only one unit
  • Provides simple, high cost-performance without a large-scale file server
  • Reduces the operation maintenance necessary for system operation
  • Provides extended recording solutions using highly reliable, versatile LTO-5 technology
  • The media has massive storage capacity up to 1.5TB and yet is compact, helping to save space
  • One unit supports 50+ hours of recording
  • Open-standards-based, highly versatile, excellent storage stability
  • Secure and low-cost media; perfect as a material exchange media
  • Video equipment that also functions as a convenient IT device

  • File system LTFS enables reading and writing of files from PC as a material exchange media
  • FTP feature functions as an FTP server to read and write files freely on the LTO via the FTP
  • Partial retrieval feature loads the specified range of MXF files on LTO tape and efficiently reuses them with non-linear editing software
  • Simultaneous creation of proxy files during ingest supports system links such as automatic proxy file transfers to media management systems
  • Operates like a VTR compact design
  • Emphasis is on operability with a VTR-like front panel, various buttons, jog/shuttle, and a liquid-crystal display
  • Ingest is possible simply by pressing REC and PLAY
  • VTR-like operations are possible, including Jog/Shuttle, fast-forward, and rewind (Only for built-in HDD cache data)
