encoding/transcoding solution ideal for both standard and high-definition
projects. The system, a 16-bay RAID integrated with a Digital Rapids'
StreamZHD Encoder, can capture HD or SD video in its native format, or convert
it in hardware during capture from HD to SD, SD to HD, or between HD
resolutions and frame rates. StreamZHD can capture from live or tape-based
sources to uncompressed files, or encode directly to target formats at up to
1920x1080 resolution in real time.

For the RED camera user, JMR's BlueStor RED Video Storage Server, a 4U
rackmount 16-bay RAID system, offers extremely high performance, robust
reliability coupled with a wide variety ingest and output features, making it
ideal for both post production and broadcast store-n-forward, streaming and
DVR/DVTR replacement editing applications.  The system will be demonstrated as
an ingest server running Assimilate SCRATCH software, and features: dual quad
core processors; dual 3Gb/s internal SAS expanders; dual PCIe RAID
controllers; redundant hot swap power supplies and fans; a 19-in-1 card
reader; Blu-ray writer; an nVIDIA Quadro FX5600 SDI graphics card; 24GB of
DDR3 ECC memory; USB, Firewire, dual GigE and an E-SATA storage ports. The
SAS/SATA Video Storage Server can scale up to 32 TB using the latest
generation 2 TB disk drives.

The BlueStor FibreStream(TM), an extreme performance Fibre Channel RAID system
from JMR, will also be on display at Stand 105. When added to an existing
Storage Area Network (SAN), the FibreStream solution becomes a highly scalable
and reliable system that can be configured for RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10,
40, 50 or 60.  BlueStor FibreStream features a built-in 4-port 4Gb FC switch,
and is the highest performance per dollar storage system available on the
market, with an average measured read speed of 1,317.286 MB/sec and an average
measured write speed of 756.165 MB/sec. 

Lastly, the JMR BlueStor EXTN-8, a PCIe Bus Extender with a built-in 16-bay
SAS/SATA hot-swap JBOD/RAID housed in a common 3U rackmount chassis, is
another high-performance storage system available for attendees to preview. 
The EXTN-8 is a highly functional and scalable unit which includes the added
benefit of a JBOD/RAID storage subsystem in the same chassis, capable of
housing up to 32TB of SATA storage, and expandable to 4PB (4,000TB).

JMR's affordable and fault-tolerant storage solutions are based on JMR's
PeSAN(TM) (PCIe Storage Attached Network) technology.  JMR's 16-bay BlueStor
PeSAN RAID systems were developed to be the ultimate in high-performance
Direct Attached Storage or Networked Attached Storage for a wide range of
video applications like content creation, VOD, video editing and 2K/4K Digital
Intermediate (DI) film applications requiring extremely high sustained
throughput and reliability - making it ideal for encoding, multi-stream SD/HD
real-time editing, and 2K DI applications. For collaborative or multi-stream
SD/HD and 2K/4K DI workflows requiring even higher performance and scalable
storage, BlueStor PeSAN powered RAIDs can achieve up to 4,000 MB/s and be
expanded to over 4,000 TB using the current JMR PeSAN technology.
