ZEPLAY Instant Replay Server To Return To NAB 2019

The ZEPLAY instant replay server from ZEPLAY LLC returns to the 2019 NAB Show with its most significant design transformation to date – a 2RU server that translates to a lower upfront cost and reduced ongoing cost of ownership.

The new ZEPLAY R7 server design reduces the footprint by half, returning valuable rack space to customers while reducing weight and energy consumption.

The transformative redesign of the ZEPLAY R7 server eliminates the company's reliance on multiple storage drive arrays in favor of solid-state drives that accelerate processing and enhance reliability. The change does not affect ZEPLAY's familiar control system and intuitive feature set to manage and deliver instant replays.

"ZEPLAY has always had a strong reputation for delivering fast and reliable instant replays, and these enhancements will continue that tradition while making ZEPLAY more affordable," said Brandon McKenzie, ZEPLAY's Co-Founder and Principal Engineer. "The new ZEPLAY R7 server design takes advantage of the latest improvements in computing power, allowing us to use more compact parts and put the era of spinning hard drives to bed."

McKenzie added that the ZEPLAY R7 server operates on less than 350 watts of power, which will translate to reduced energy bills moving forward. While TV stations, arenas and stadiums will benefit, McKenzie sees the redesign as a major advantage for mobile production trucks.
