SatBroadcasting™ — Fast Forward Video Debuts DVR


FFV Micron HD Fast Forward Video (FFV) has released its new Micron HD digital video recorder (DVR), a powerful solution for recording and playout of broadcast-quality digital SD and HD video. The Micron HD offers many of the features of FFV's Omega HD DVR, in a single rack unit and at a price point specifically targeted to today's most budget-conscious broadcast-grade operations. The unit records using the high-quality JPEG2000 compression at speeds up to 100 Mbit/sec, making it an excellent replacement for SD-only DVRs and analog tape decks. The Micron HD offers up to five hours of record time and its removable, non-proprietary 2.5-inch SATA drive is fully compatible with FFV's Elite HD camera-mounted DVR. Users can record, play, and store multiple SD and HD video files. With a simple machine controller, the user can access a larger set of functions and command multiple units with one key stroke.
