REV PRO™ removable disk-based media offers unprecedented price/performance for video recording, playback, and storage. Based on the Iomega® REV™ removable storage systems, REV PRO drives and disks are specifically engineered for the demands of video professionals.
REV PRO provides the portability and cost-effectiveness of videotapes—combined with the speed, flexibility, and ease of use of true nonlinear media like hard disks.
REV PRO uses standard laptop hard drive components but is engineered for much greater reliability by placing only the magnetic media and motor within the removable cartridge. All the sensitive drive heads and electronics remain in the drive itself. This unique design increases durability while keeping the costs of the media down. Enhanced Performance For the video professional, REV PRO media offers many advantages. Its enhanced record/playback capability with a minimum data rete of 110 Mb/s allows for sufficient throughput for HD video (up to 100 Mb/s) along with the overhead support for audio, timecode, and metadata tracks (10 Mb/s).
The bandwidth is also sufficient for dual streams up to 55 Mb/s each. In addition, REV PRO media offers simultaneous record/playback capabilities and fast rendering speeds for nonlinear editing systems. REV PRO products are ideal for day-to-day production use, including the demands of ENG and EFP. The media can be used in harsh environments with temperatures from -10ºC to 60ºC (14ºF to 140ºF)*, and at altitudes up to 4,500 meters (14,700 feet). The drive and removable media are robust and extremely durable. The disk can survive repeated 1.2-meter (4-foot) drops. The long-term archival rating of the media is specified at more than 30 years, and it can perform over one million record/erase cycles without failure. REV PRO disks also provide enhanced security features. User passwords to control content access can be set for each piece of media and administrators can choose a master password to unlock content if a user password is forgotten. Data can also be securely erased via a shred utility and the disk reformatted when required.
REV PRO Drives REV PRO drives offer a cost-effective solution for day-to-day ENG and production environments. They are ideal for rigourous day-to-day field use, and are well suited for studios and edit suites. REV PRO drives are available in both internal and external configurations. The internal drives, with either ATAPI or SATA interfaces, are ideal for network and workstation installations. External portable drives are available in either USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394, and are compatible with PC and Macintosh platforms. REV PRO drives offer unprecedented benefits to your workflow. They are an excellent choice for standalone storage and backup of video and other assets in addition to providing a low-cost medium to distribute content.
The portable devices can easily connect via USB or IEEE 1394 ports to Infinity Digital Media Camcorders and Infinity Digital Media Recorders or to any compliant personal computer. The cost effectiveness of REV PRO drives doesn’t stop there. Simply attach an external REV PRO drive to a laptop PC and you have an instant, low-cost high-definition preview station. No other system available today can do this. The affordably priced REV PRO drives bring greater flexibility and functionality to any workflow. REV PRO media and drives are compatible with standard consumer-based REV products. This means when you’re on location or need media in a pinch, you can use standard REV products available from many retail stores worldwide. However, to benefit from REV PRO’s enhanced performance, password protection, and durability features, REV PRO media.
