Display Tools — Panasonic

Disk-based playback

Since their introduction at last year's NAB, Panasonic's
iDVR100 and iDVR200 HD MPEG servers have made their mark in
both public display applications and in Hollywood as a solution for the
playback of digital dailies. The servers have a built-in drive that
plays up to 30 minutes of 19Mbps MPEG-2 video from DVD-R or DVD-RAM
disks. Via Ethernet they can be networked to distribute video to other
iDVRs or over an IP network. The iDVR200, a rackmount version of the
desktop-based 100, features a 4 RU frame designed for additional
internal hard-disk storage.
