The Quantum SDLT 600A is an extension to the family of DLT products
with video professionals in mind. Using the built-in FTP client in
conjunction with a standard Web browser, Material Exchange Format
(MXF) files can be stored and retrieved. A Gigabit Ethernet (GigE)
interface allows this drive to be quickly connected and accessed on your
network.
The SDLT 600A is ideal for serving a full range of video applications;
from hand-carrying video content out to a truck for live production to
facility-wide, long-term, secure archive.
The tape drive provides 300 Gigabytes (GB) of storage capacity with a
transfer speed of up to 36 Megabytes per second (MB/sec) native. This
allows for over 6 hours of HD (high definition) and over 25 hours of SD
(standard definition) storage on a single cartridge.
