Everyone from broadcasters to indie filmmakers can probably agree on one thing: the possible choices for image acquisition are daunting. Different cameras, different formats, different recording media and different compression schemes. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to simplify acquisition so that virtually any camera, digital or analog, could record the same format and resolution? Enter the AJA Ki Pro.

The AJA Ki Pro is a tapeless video recording device that records high-quality Apple ProRes 422 QuickTime files onto computer-friendly media. Because it features SD/HD-SDI, HDMI, and analog inputs, you can interface with virtually any type of camera you might own or rent. Enjoy monitoring flexibility through Ki Pro's numerous simultaneous outputs, connecting to both professional and consumer monitors.

Ki Pro is portable and rugged; designed for real production environments. With the optional exo-skeleton it can sit below your camera-out of the way of your battery adapters, wireless mics and other accessories. Integration with your other production gear is seamless.

Ki Pro is intuitive to operate. Alongside the camera, the familiar VTR-like buttons provide immediate controls for basic operation. From a distance, use a web browser via ethernet or WiFi to control operations from a laptop or iPhone.

A revolution in production and post
Eliminate the cost and inconvenience of logging and capturing footage. Ki Pro produces Apple ProRes 422 QuickTime files that are ready for immediate use within Final Cut Studio. Simply connect the media to a host computer and begin editing. Unify SD, 720 and 1080 cameras and formats with one superior 10-bit full-raster codec-Apple ProRes 422. Ki Pro features cross-conversion so you can have a 720p camera produce a 1080i recording to match your other camera... or vice versa. And if you've got high-quality SD cameras, Ki Pro can even help you extend their use since it also up-converts SD camera signals to HD recordings.

The scalable PRO EX solves your demanding storage problem. Need more storage than your computer would allow due to limited PCI-e (PCI express) slots? The PRO EX is the solution, the PRO EX provides virtually unlimited storage expansion.

The PRO EX is a PCI-e expander, it supports up to 7 PCI-e x8 compatible cards. Add storage as you need with the grow-as-you-go expansion or simply aggregate your existing PCI-e based storage for instant online access.

The seven expansion slots in the PRO EX will accommodate half length (174 mm) full height PCI-e cards with x8 physical slot size or smaller.

The PRO EX expander combined with the PRO DQ RAID storage subsystems can offer up to 56TB of online storage. If more is needed, additional PRO EX and PRO DQ combinations can be added to a daisy chain to get even more storage. This provides virtually unlimited storage capacity.

Room for everyone
The PRO EX will accommodate any combination of Dulce’s PCI-e controllers or adapters; such as the Dulce SATA RAID PRO DQ, Duo Quad, Quad, eSATA HD Commander and Duo-eSATA products. Third party PCI-e cards can be added, too. Yes even PCI-e based storage from other manufactures! The PRO EX provides flexibility for future proofing of your existing and new storage as well as other PCI-e investments.

We are well connected
The PRO EX is not only scalable and flexible, it also ensures that it is well connected to your host using the industrial strength x8 PCI-e uplink connection.

The uplink cable used in the PRO EX is made of metal construction and locks securely in place to prevent accidental removal.

A well connected machine works more reliably.

Very very fast
When all you want is blinding speed, the PRO EX combined with the PRO DQs will deliver what you want. With the PRO EX populated with three PRO DQ SATA RAIDs totaling 24 drives in RAID 0 mode, a breath-taking speed of 1376 MB/sec was achieved. This setup requires the host computer to be configured at the maximum PRO EX uplink speed of x8.

In the real world of video editing where a video capture card is also in use, a balanced x4 speed is a typical setting. With this, a PRO EX populated with two PRO DQ totaling 16 drives in RAID 5 mode, a speed of 767 MB/s is still faster than any other configurations in this class.

Key Features:-

• Mac and
• Windows Compatible.
  
• Seven PCI-e x8 physical slots. Three x8 speed rated, four x4 speed rated.
  
• Uplink Host Adapter provides up to x8 speed (20 Gb/sec) uplink speed.
  
• Robust and secure 3-meter Uplink Cable.
  
• Triple cooling fans.
  
• Enclosure management monitors fans and temperature.
  
• PCI-e power management with remote power on/off.
  
• PCI-e slot link status indicators.
  
• PCI-e bridge and switch operation is transparent, no drivers or utility needed.

The new PRO DQ is the fastest RAID protected storage you can have, faster than anyone in it’s class.

The proven RAID engine of our original controller used in the Quad and Duo Quad series had been re-tuned to provide more horsepower than ever. Fully populated with 8 high performance 1TB 3.5” 7200 RPM SATA disk drives, running in RAID 3 or 5 protected mode, the PRO DQ can pump out over 570 MB/s sustained. Want to run faster? Configure the RAID engine to RAID 0 mode and the PRO DQ will scream at over 660 MB/s.

In the double protection RAID 6 mode the PRO DQ at 460MB/s will out run other lesser protected RAID storage.

RAID Protected
The truth is, disk drives will fail, and they will fail at just the worst time. Don’t give it a chance to ruin your day. RAID 3, 5 or 6 protection schemes are the most cost-efficient approach to insuring workflow continuation. Should a drive fail during your last render before your final tape out, don’t sweat it, the hardware RAID protection will keep your workflow going even with one or more drives down.

RAID Management GUI
A web browser accessed RAID Console provides quick and easy RAID management. The PRO DQ comes pre-configured for Mac OS X in RAID 5 protection mode, so it might not be necessary to access the RAID Console initially. But, should you want to change the configuration or manage the disk drives, you are just a couple of clicks away from the RAID Console.

We are well Connected
The PRO DQ not only protects your data with the latest RAID options, we are also well connected to keep your data secured.

The Quad Channel SATA II interface connectors used in the PRO DQ are made of metal construction and locks securely in place to prevent accidental removal.

A well connected machine works more reliably.

Unlimited Expansion
The PRO EX - a PCI-e Expansion Switch. It can support up to 7 PCI-e x8 compatible cards. Fill the PRO EX with several new PRO DQ or any combination of the Dulce’s PCI-e based products or even a 3rd party RAID controller!

Speeds and Performance
PortaGig 800 drives are available in 7,200 and 5,400 RPM models. All models of the PortaGig 800 perform well in an audio environment, however the 7,200 RPM models have slightly higher track count compared to the 5,400 RPM models due to their higher transfer rates.

USB and Bus Power
The included USB cable is a "Y" cable: one end connects to the drive and two ends can be connected to the computer. In some situations, a single USB port will not supply enough USB bus power for the PortaGig 800, and two computer USB ports are needed. Due to differing bus power specs, the safest choice is to use the PortaGig 800 with the included DC power supply. Additionally, the DC power supply should be used with PortaGig 800 in capacities of 200GB or higher.

Glyph's GT 062 is a two-drive tabletop designed for professional audio and video applications, and can be configured in four drive modes. RAID 1 offers data redundancy and real-time backup by writing the same data to the two hard drives at the same time. Should a drive failure happen, data is still available on the remaining drive. RAID 0 (striping) increases the performance of the drive system by spreading the data across two drives. RAID 0 is a proven technology for editing video, working with huge graphics files, sound libraries, and streaming instruments that play hundreds of samples simultaneously. JBOD mode (individual volumes) is very well suited for audio production, while Spanning mode simply shows the two internal drives as one large volume.

Glyph Manager Software
GT 062 ships with the Glyph Manager software, a utility for Mac OS X and Windows that configures the GT 062 in one of the four drive modes, and displays health status of the GT 062 drives. When configured in RAID 1 mode, Glyph Manager constantly monitors the health of the drives. When a problem is detected, Glyph Manager alerts the user by animating in the Mac OS X dock or displaying an error balloon from the Windows System Tray. Data can then be backed up before any is lost due to drive failure. The GT 062 combination of RAID 1 real-time backup and drive health monitoring provides the highest level of data security of any product in its class.

HD Optimized Performance
Sonnet’s Fusion RAID storage systems are widely recognized for their performance and dependability, providing users the data throughput and protection critical in the growing field of high definition video editing work. Fusion RX1600RAID takes these attributes to a new level. Building on proven technologies, the Fusion RX1600RAID rackmount 16-drive SATA storage system offers the fastest performance and biggest capacity yet of any Sonnet storage system plus the easy expandability featured in the Fusion DX800RAID, and adds Enterprise-class features to the mix. Fusion RX1600RAID storage systems are designed for work environments where performance and fault tolerance are critical, and maximum availability a must. Fusion RX1600RAID storage systems easily handle uncompressed HD while protecting the data at the same time, yet flexible enough to be configured for any workflow.

Under real world use (drives 85% filled and fragmented) with its drives formatted as a RAID 5 group (sixteen 1TB drives striped with parity across all group members), a Fusion RX1600RAID system is capable of 2K (2048 x 1556) LOG RGB capture and playback. A Fusion RX1600RAID system can achieve up to 1000 MB/sec read and 750 MB/sec write (AJA Kona 1080HD test), fast enough to handle uncompressed 10-bit 1080 4:4:4 HD, or multiple streams of ProRes 422, uncompressed 8-bit 1080 HD, DV, HDV, and DVCPRO video.

With drives formatted as a RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID 6, or DVRAID group, Fusion RX1600RAID systems offer file protection in the event of a drive failure (two drives when formatted as a RAID 6 group). You can configure your system to provide visual and audible alerts, including e-mail notification in the event of a drive failure. A drive can be swapped out and the RAID group rebuilt in around four hours, or you can continue to work at reduced bandwidth while the RAID group rebuilds in the background.

RAID Flexibility
Fusion RX1600RAID systems support RAID 4 (DV RAID), 5, 6, and 10 for balanced performance and protection; RAID 1 for ultimate redundancy; and RAID 0 for pure, unadulterated speed; JBOD support is available, too. Fusion RX1600RAID systems even support hot spares you can set up your RAID group so that one or more designated hot spare drives wait unused in the background to automatically replace a failed drive without you having to lift a finger. All this flexibility is accomplished without switches a simple to use configuration utility enables you to optimize your setup for specific workflow requirements.

Easy Expandability
When your job calls for access to more than 16TB of files, Sonnet offers an economical upgrade path that is simple to deploy Fusion RX1600RAID storage expansion systems. Each RX1600RAID storage system features an internal SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) expander that enables you to connect additional RX1600RAID enclosures in a daisy chain, no additional RAID controller card needed. This simplifies installation and significantly reduces your cost to expand capacity. Of course, if your needs are simpler, each system includes user-swappable drive modules so you can easily change sets of drives as you go.

Status Supervisor
The reliability of the Fusion RX1600RAID is further enhanced through SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) 2.0 compliance and enhanced S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting for each hard drive installed in the system. Built into the Fusion RX1600RAID enclosure, SES functionality provides enhanced real-time monitoring and reporting of drive, power supply, and temperature status, with real time results displayed in utility application screens and the illumination of conveniently placed LEDs on the enclosure. Warning alarms sound in case of a power supply or fan issue, too. S.M.A.R.T. data criteria can be used to notify you of an impending drive failure and enable you to minimize downtime as a result.

Master Controller
The heart of a Fusion RX1600RAID storage system is the Sonnet PCI Express® RAID controller. This powerhouse is based on the latest-generation Intel® IOP348 RAID processor running at 1.2 GHz, which can handle the throughput from all the drives with plenty of overhead. The Sonnet RAID controller is configured with 256MB of ECC-protected RAM, especially important to maintain data stream writes as the disk array nears capacity.

Driving Force
Fusion RX1600RAID storage systems employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives and select latest-generation standard drives(2). These drives are subjected to hours of additional, stringent testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors just the sturdiest drives pass these tests and are prepared with special RAID-optimized firmware. The Enterprise/RAID drives offered by Sonnet have higher MTBF (mean time between failure) specs and carry longer warranties (5-year vs. 3-year) than standard drives.

Versatile Performance
These systems are ideal for use in mixed environments various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion RX1600RAID storage systems provide. Fusion RX1600RAID systems support Mac OS® X, Windows Vista, Windows® XP, and Linux.

Of course, if your needs are simpler, each system includes user-swappable drive modules so you can easily change sets of drives as you go.

RAID Flexibility
Fusion DX800RAID systems support RAID 0 for pure, unadulterated speed; RAID 1 for ultimate redundancy; and RAID 4 (DV RAID), 5, 6, and 10 for balanced, failsafe file protection and performance; JBOD support is available, too. Fusion DX800RAID systems even support hot spares a designated hot spare drive waits unused in the background to automatically replace a failed drive without you having to lift a finger. All this flexibility is accomplished without switches a simple to use configuration utility enables you to optimise your setup for specific workflow requirements.

Status Supervisor
The reliability of the Fusion DX800RAID is further enhanced through SES (SCSI Enclosure Services) 2.0 compliance, a feature more commonly found on enterprise storage systems, and enhanced S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) data reporting for each hard drive installed in the system. Built into the Fusion DX800RAID enclosure, SES functionality provides enhanced real-time monitoring and reporting of drive, power supply, and temperature status, with real time results displayed in utility application screens and the illumination of conveniently placed LEDs on the enclosure. S.M.A.R.T. data criteria can be used to notify you of an impending drive failure and enable you to minimise downtime as a result.

Master Controller
The heart of a Fusion DX800RAID storage system is the Sonnet PCI Express® RAID controller. This powerhouse is based on the latest-generation Intel® IOP348 RAID processor running at 1.2 GHz, which can handle the throughput from all the drives with plenty of overhead. The Sonnet RAID controller is configured with 256MB of ECC-protected RAM, especially important to maintain data stream writes as the disk array nears capacity.

Remarkable Performance, Diminutive Package
Speed, reliability, ruggedness, and convenience these are the essential qualities of a storage system for on-location video capture. When you need to travel light, choose a Sonnet Fusion™ F2 portable SATA RAID storage system. Providing 640GB(1) of storage in a small enclosure, Fusion F2 uses eSATA connections to deliver the fastest performance yet from a 2-drive portable storage system, with data transfer rates up to twice as fast as FireWire®. By connecting Fusion F2 through a SATA host adapter like Sonnet’s Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34, your notebook’s FireWire 800 port is left open for use by an AJA® Video Systems Io HD, which requires dedicated use of FireWire bandwidth. Fusion F2 is cool, quiet, and energy-efficient: side-by-side placement of its drives increases the metal case’s cooling surface area, thereby eliminating the need for a fan, and allowing it to be bus-powered so it can be used even when no grid power is available.

RAID to Go
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 installed in a MacBook® Pro, and with its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped volume, the compact Fusion F2 is capable of 126 MB/sec sustained read and write data transfers, fast enough to handle multiple streams of ProRes 422 (HQ)! Compared to the slower 66 MB/sec performance from a pair of drives connected via FireWire 800, the advantage is clear Fusion F2 provides you the capability to capture and play more streams of compressed video for field editing. With its drives configured as a RAID 1 mirrored volume, Fusion F2 still can capture Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) HD fed from an AJA Io HD. This protected mode also enables you to safely transfer data from Panasonic® P2, Sony® SxS Pro, or similar memory cards in the field. Verifying captured footage on a MacBook Pro/Fusion F2 system will provide you the peace of mind to erase and reuse cards on location.

Three Connections
Fusion F2 features two 3 Gb/sec eSATA data ports. By connecting via a direct SATA II interface with no bridge chip between the F2’s case and SATA II drives, there is no resulting communication slowdown, just the fastest data transfers possible. Fusion F2 uses a novel method to power itself; it draws power from your notebook’s FireWire 400 port. Instead of relying on a bulky external power supply that may not work everywhere you go, Fusion F2 uses an included FireWire-to-power cable. Whether your notebook is plugged in or running off its battery, Fusion F2 operates anywhere your computer does. Another FireWire device, or a powered hub can also power Fusion F2, if necessary.

Driving Force
Fusion F2 employs two 320GB, 5,400 RPM, 2.5" mobile hard drives that offer an optimal balance between speed, power consumption, and reliability. Sonnet chose these high-performance drives because they offer greater areal density than other mobile hard drives (pack more data per platter), use the 3 Gb/sec SATA interface, and deliver better performance than the 7,200 RPM drives we tested; simply put, they are the fastest 2.5" mobile hard drives available today. Fusion F2’s drives are also extremely quiet and very rugged, making the Fusion F2 a great travel companion for your mobile studio.

Rugged for a Reason
Fusion F2 was devised as a high-performance, high-reliability alternative to existing portable drive solutions. Encased inside a thick aluminum shell, each of Fusion F2’s drives is individually shock-isolated, not only protecting the drives during transport, but also virtually eliminating cross-coupled vibration during operation, which, unchecked, can induce soft errors a potential source of skipped video frames.

Versatile Performance
Fusion F2 is ideal for use on location as well as the office various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion F2 provides. Fusion storage systems support Mac OS® X, Windows® Vista, Windows XP Professional, and Linux. It is compatible with capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox, and Bluefish444, and works with all mainstream video editing applications including Apple® Final Cut Pro®, and Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3.

Multiple Drives, No Compromise
Digital content creation and editing requires more speed and space than standard desktop drives are capable why limit yourself to a single drive? Sonnet’s award-winning Fusion™ D400Q desktop and R400Q rackmount storage systems provide 2, 3, or 4TB(1) of storage in four swappable drive modules, and four ways to connect them to a computer. They offer speed, versatility, and reliability they’re great solutions for anyone looking for an affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows.

Maximum Performance, Maximum Convenience
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X adapter installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D400Q or R400Q system’s drives can be accessed through its port multiplier (2) at maximum speed, whether configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD set. A single Fusion D400Q or R400Q system with its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped set achieves 220MB/sec, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, ProRes 422, or a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video. Do you want even more performance? Up to four Fusion D400Q or R400Q systems can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P adapter to for double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams (as well as increasing the number of supported video formats).

One Cable, Four Drives
Fusion D400Q and R400Q enclosures employ a high performance SATA II port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives just a single locking cable connects the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising performance. No SATA? No problem connected via a single FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB cable, all four drives can be accessed at the full speed of the respective interface. There is no need to reformat when changing from one interface to another, regardless the configuration.

Driving Force
Fusion storage systems employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives. These drives are subjected to hours of additional, stringent testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors just the sturdiest drives pass these tests and are prepared with special RAID-optimised firmware. Enterprise/RAID drives offer higher MTBF (mean time between failure) specs, carry longer warranties than “desktop” drives, and are the building blocks of a super-reliable Fusion storage system. Need even more storage space? For added convenience, the swappable drive modules are compatible across the Fusion line, and additional modules may be purchased separately.

Versatile Performance
These systems are ideal for use in mixed environments various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion D400Q and R400Q storage systems provide. Fusion storage systems support Mac OS® X, Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. They are compatible with capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox, and Bluefish444, and work with all mainstream video editing applications including Apple® Final Cut Pro®, and Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3.

Desktop or Rackmount
To keep things cool, the Fusion D400Q uses a swappable fan module. The fan in 2TB and 3TB configurations is 80% quieter than a standard case fan, making this system perfectly suited for use in noise-sensitive environments. The 4TB configuration includes a high-speed fan. The 1U rackmount Fusion R400Q system enclosure, at just 1.75" tall, is simple to deploy in most server racks. Both systems feature drive presence and drive activity LED indicators on their front panels, so drive status can be determined at a glance.

The Spectra T120 library is easy to use, manage, and maintain. From initial installation to library maintenance, the T120 simplifies backups. And the T120 has extraordinary flexibility with it, you can start with the features you need now, and add features and capacity as your data grows and backup requirements change.

Simple Installation and Configuration
Spectra Logic provides excellent documentation and CD-based training, and an intuitive guided configuration process, so installation and configuration are painless. The T120 is compatible with all major backup packages and operating systems and provides a wide choice of connectivity options, from direct-connect Fibre Channel and SCSI drives, to Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet controllers (QIPs). Plus the rack-mount library conforms to your data center layout.

Additional Capacity Always Available
There’s always more data, never less, so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue. The T120’s capacity on demand (CoD) feature allows you to simply visit the Spectra Logic Web store and select additional capacity. A key enables more slots, and you instantly have access to additional capacity. Get only what you need, then add more as you need it. This keeps costs in check and extends the life of your library.

Drives for Smaller Backup Windows
If your data growth demands smaller backup windows, you can add drives. T120 drives simply slip into the library. And with the controller option, you can upgrade connectiv­ity just as easily, so that you can take advantages of network upgrades or changes that may help your backups get done. Over time, as new connectivity options, or new tape technolo­gies become available, you can also upgrade your library simply by adding a component.

Seamless Reliability
Reliability is ensured by component redundancy if one fails, another is right there to take over. The T120 supplies an optional N+1 redundant power supply, along with the controller-con­nectivity fail-over capabilities. So if one drive fails (and your backup software permits it) then the controller switches the backup to stream to a working drive. Your backup keeps going, even if a drive doesn’t. Plus, the T120 library’s compact, highly dense construction preserves expensive data center space while lowering power usage and cooling costs.

BlueScale Encryption
BlueScale Encryption is the only truly integrated encryption solution for data stored on tape. The T120 lets you seamlessly and affordably add encryption to your backup strategy with no changes to backup policies and no additional hardware or software. Two major features are:

• There is a single point of management for both encryption and data backup, plus the flexibility to manage it all from anywhere with a Web-based Remote Library Controller (RLC), secure through the use of SSL.
  
• The T120 uses the federally approved AES-256 encryption algorithm the most secure method of encrypting data, and considered unbreakable by the US Government.

The T50 offers the most advanced LTO technology and an extensive feature set comparable to the enterprise-level Spectra T950 and mid-range T120 libraries. Features such as CoD, SLS and encryption set a new standard for entry level libraries. It has multiple generations of Spectra Logic hardware and software technology underpinning its integrity. The Spectra T50 is simply the most advanced, easiest to use small library anywhere.

Ready in less than 30 Minutes
It takes less than half an hour to install and set up the Spectra T50 library. How? It comes with clear and concise documentation and an intuitive configuration process. It’s compatible with all major backup packages and operating systems, and provides a choice of connectivity options either direct-connect SCSI, Fibre Channel or iSCSI. And physically, the 4U library can be rack-mounted or used on a tabletop.

Low-effort Management
The T50 saves significant staff time and effort with consolidated media handling. TeraPack® technology lets you handle multiple LTO tapes at a time, grouped in increments of five and protected by a TeraPack case. Each tape, and the case itself, has a bar code, making it easy to track media both on-site and off-site. And the Spectra T50 keeps your library running with monitoring and alerts on library status. The library is built using modular components, so parts can be replaced or upgraded with minimal disruption to the backup process.

Eminently Scalable Capacity
There’s always more data, never less, so keeping up with capacity demands is a serious issue. The T50’s capacity on demand (CoD) feature allows you to simply visit the Spectra Logic Web store to purchase additional capacity keys. A key enables more slots, and you instantly have access to additional capacity. Get only what you need, then add more as you need it. This keeps costs in check and extends the life of your library. And, if your data growth demands smaller backup windows, add drives. The library supports up to two full-height LTO drives or up to four half-height LTO drives.
