360 Systems’ has launched its new multichannel MPEG video
server for broadcast and video production. The Image Server 7000 can

RAID configuration protects program material from loss, and hot-swap
disks permit rapid drive replacement.

I-frame and long-GOP formats are supported.
Other features include LTC and VITC time code, VDCP and NDCP
automation control, closed captioning, and P2-editing to single-frame
accuracy.
The Image Server 7000 can be configured with three or six output
channels, and different amounts of program storage.
