New T2 Range Has Faster Signal Processing

Grass Valley have announced that, a newly designed and significantly improved T2 family of intelligent digital disk recorders (iDDRs) that are ideally suited for live event production, post production, and video-on-demand applications.
With increased format support and faster signal processing, the new T2 iDDRs streamline manual processes and automate key capabilities to significantly improve a wide variety of file-based workflows.
The new T2 range, consisting of the T2 Express, T2 Pro, and T2 Elite models all include faster signal processing, generous storage capacity, and secure 2.5-inch HDD or SSD storage drives that allow users to work faster and smarter, while supporting more native file formats and compression codecs, including those from Grass Valley and a variety of third-parties.
Both the T2 Express and Pro models provide up to 1 TB (or 14 hours) of full 1080i HD content storage, with even more storage for 720p HD and 480i SD formats. The T2 Elite model provides up to 600 GB (or 8 hours) of full 1080i HD content storage using SSD.
Improvements over previous T2 models include real-time SD/HD crossconversion. The new T2 models can also crossconvert HD formats (between 720p and 1080i) in real-time. File format support now includes XDCAM HD422, XDCAM EX HD 35 Mb/s, AVC-Intra 100, GF 100 Mb/s, and AVCHD.
Live Events:
T2 is perfectly suited for live event production where content must be available for playback to large-screen projectors or scoreboards. Applications include sporting events, trade shows, product launches, concerts, and seminar presentations.
Live Production:
T2 can serve as an entry-level video server in smaller-budget production facilities, such as colleges and community access stations.
Post Production:
T2 can aid in editing as a near online source for content to be used in post production. It can also store finished programs for playback at live events or in kiosks.
Video-on-Demand:
T2 can be used to loop playlists for hours of uninterrupted and unattended playback. Applications include stand-alone kiosks, trade show displays, museums and art galleries, and theme parks. Remote control (via RS422 or GPIO) allows T2 to react to external inputs. In addition, synchronized 2-channel playback supports delivery of 3D content or presentations that span multiple displays.
