and output can be independently configured for standard definition or high definition at 720p
or 1080i.
Seamless Installation in New Facilities
The TSS MINI system smoothes installation in a new setting, providing both SD-SDI and
HD-SDI video. Program file transfers are also available over Gigabit Ethernet. Its standard suite
of H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs offer flexibility in file based workflows.
Up to 16 channels of Embedded audio are supported on each input and output (depending
on formats in use).
The system’s versatile video and audio I /O personality is unique among video servers, and
provides a seamless fit in existing facilities, and as part of new build-outs.
Exceptional Storage Capacity
The system contains four 1- or 2-Terabyte drives in its compact enclosure, providing up to
several hundreds of hours of storage with exceptional image quality. Storage time varies
depending on the file encoding type, resolution and bit rate.
The server’s RAID-5 disk array provides a high level of security for stored program content,
by spreading parity information across all drives. The self maintaining array provides added
uptime protection, even in the event of a drive failure. The multi-drive array generates data
rates required for multiple streams of high definition video.
Compatibility with Automation Controllers
360 Systems’ servers work with automation controllers from many different manufacturers,
accepting VDCP, Odetics or BVW protocols for 9-pin control of each server channel. 360
Systems’ business partners provide automation controllers for applications ranging from
affordable systems for Pro-AV, up to large-scale broadcast solutions. Contact a 360 Systems
application engineer or an automation provider for assistance with your requirements.
Remote Controls
Hardware accessories are available from third-party manufacturers to perform transport
control, instant clip replay, slow-mo, and automation. A table of tested controllers is provided
elsewhere in this manual. Contact 360 Systems Sales Support team for assistance with a specific
application. The optional CXP-5 Auxiliary Interface Module provides serial port interfaces for
independent control of each channel. When using the VDCP protocol it can also support control
of multiple channels from a single serial port.
With the optional CXP-5, the TSS MINI Multi Format Video Server provides twelve GPI
inputs for remote play, stop, and record capability from push-button panels or other GPI-
