REV PRO tEchnical guidE

REV PRO

 media and drives are specifically designed 

and developed to meet the requirements of video pro-
fessionals and their desire to migrate to a complete file-
based workflow. REV PRO’s revolutionary Removable 
Rigid Disk (RRD) technology combines the benefits of 
hard drive technology (speed, reliability, and non-linear 
access) with videotape (portability, ease of use, and low 
cost). The end result is an extremely durable and reliable 
medium, fully supporting professional video workflows.

REV PRO media provide fast random access to video 
clips. Files can be edited and moved around easily—just 
like a hard drive. REV PRO media are well suited for 
high-speed data transfers and perfect for true HD acqui-
sition and editing. Its enhanced multi-segment caching 
delivers dual-stream performance to allow for simultane-
ous read and write access. REV PRO is ideally suited for 
everyday video, graphics, and/or rigorous field produc-
tion applications. It is a medium that is flexible and can 
be readily re-purposed in any file-based workflow. There 
are currently two lines of REV PRO media and drives: 
The REV PRO 35 line and the REV PRO XP/ER line.

REV PRO combines the best of both worlds: the portability and 
ease of use of tape, with the non-linear access capabilities of 
hard drives.

REV PRO provides dual stream performance for 
simultaneous record and playback or real-time cross 
dissolves in editing environments.
