Equipped with the HD/SD-SDI output, the MBP-100MP supports playback of a number of files, including P2HD (DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra), XDCAM (EX, HD and HD422), Ikegami GF, Apple QuickTime (DVCPRO codec), HDV and AVCHD. The 1RU player features 128GB of solid-state storage and includes remote control via Ethernet or RS422.

By incorporating the footage into FOR-A’s MediaConcierge media management system, the MBP-100MP can also be used as a clip server.
