OvalRock launch holographic video recorder

OvalRock, a leading designer and developer of convergent broadcast video applications, has announced at NAB 2006 that it will offer a holographic video recorder, the OvalRock Dynamic Workstation.
Shipping to customers in the third quarter of 2006, the OvalRock Dynamic Workstation enables broadcasters and video professionals to record and play back source material from a variety of formats, including videotape, Blu-Ray disc, data disc recorder (DDR), and holographic drive. The initial workstation will ship with tape drives, with holographic drives to be added in later versions.
Representing a new generation of powerful servers that can emulate a wide variety of media source types, and is compatible with most major broadcast software programs, the OvalRock Dynamic Workstation is designed to duplicate the function of most major pieces of television production equipment. Each component of the OvalRock Dynamic Workstation can integrate data from a variety of sources, process it in real time for a variety of functions, and store it onto local or remote hard disc drives or store it to holographic disc, videotape or Blu-Ray disc for archive and transport.
