- Stock: 2
- Code: BS17348
- Model: MAXX-2400
MAXX 2400 is fully compatible with leading automation systems, and is ideally suited as a play-to-air server, as a cache for satellite ingest, for graphics storage, in weather systems, remote trucks, and for extra channels in DTV broadcast.
Operationally, MAXX 2400 is a two-channel video recorder, a four-channel playout server, and a graphics store with linked key-and-fill capability. Standard features include both composite and SDI video ports, and frame synchronizers for recording wild sources like tape and satellite feeds. Audio formats include SDI-embedded audio, and your choice of AES/EBU digital or +4 balanced analog. Gold plated XLR connectors make it easy to install MAXX at existing facilities. There’s never a need to buy outboard interfaces.
