The HCS Card
Introduction
The HCS100 is a clip store and player unit for SDI uncompressed
baseband video. It can store and delay SD and HD SDI video. It can
store and play up to 6 hours of SDI material depending on the size
of disks, bitrates and ANC data. The HCS100 uses high quality
JPEG2000 compression to ensure visual lossless transparency. SD
video can be stored and delayed as raw data. The HCS100 is
capable of recording 32 files. The length of the files is depending of
the storage size and bitrate.
The HCS120 adds a bug inserter for channel ident applications but
also as an emergency overlay with its full frame capability
The use of SSD disks makes this unit extremely reliable and it will
provide low maintenance.

The recording length is depending on the used size of the SSD disks
giving increased capacity at low cost in upcoming years.
Compared to competitive server based solutions the HCS100 can be
considered as very GREEN. The power consumption of this dual
slot device is approximately 40W. This is a 10 fold saving of a
comparable server based unit that draws > 350W average saving a
significant amount of money due to the low operating power and
accompanying air conditioning.
MTBF of disks is dependent on storage capacity and brand (type).
Twice the storage than needed means theoretical twice the lifecycle
as this is coupled to the amount of write cycles, not read cycles.
