Merging Technologies to take HD video to new heights

Following the rapid success of their standard VCube, the hard disk based video player/recorder system, Merging Technologies will be showing their new VCube HD-2K system at NAB 2005.
Capable of uncompressed 1920x1080 high-definition video resolution and more than 30 different SD/HD video formats, it has a vast range of applications.
Ken Barnsley, Merging’s Sales and Marketing Manager, said: “With prices starting from around $16,000, or €12, 500, plus media storage, VCube HD-2K is probably the most cost-effective uncompressed HD disk recorder released. It’s a very versatile system designed for multiple SD/HD video applications in a variety of video environments where the recording, playback and manipulation of HD or SD video is needed.
"VCube HD-2K can be used as a HD VTR replacement, a Dual-Link 4:4:4 recorder, a frame store for a graphics or animation houses, a SD/HD digitising station for network servers, or even as a 24fps screening system for, film dubbing, screening or digital cinemas, the list is endless. We even have basic real-time editing and manipulation features such as picture-in-picture, on screen text notations, cuts, fades, dissolves, copy and paste etc, so creating loops or play-lists is easy. A very important security feature for post houses is embedded video water-marketing, which can be text and graphics and used to protect the subject matter when multiple copies or previews are required for editing, or off-site viewings.
"The system’s ability to convert any video format to any other format, SD or HD and open multi-layer OMF Compositions from a drive or directly from an Avid UnityTM server is also quite special. We can offer from 1.6 - 6.4TB of media storage with the system, up to 12 audio channels and we are in the final stages of developing our own tactile remote controller for the system.
“Broadcasters today need to future proof their investments as much as possible and at the same time increase the efficiency and workflow through the production/post-production process. We feel VCube HD-2K has the range of flexibility film houses and broadcasters are seeking for a variety of HD applications either as a standalone unit or configured within our own Luxor Media Server network, or as part of a 3rd-party network configuration”.
