Apella SDX

Apella SDX Product Info

Apella SDX is revolutionary price breakthrough for an SD video server with SDI and analog I/O connectivity that supports a mixed media database of DV and MPEG-2 files, and offers up to two inputs or four outputs simultaneously from a single chassis. Virtually unlimited channel I/O can be implemented simply by networking Apella servers together.

Specifically engineered with more storage capacity and reliability, this Apella model presents a new benchmark for performance and value. The compact 3RU chassis features front-loading hot-swap drive bays that allow internal storage to expand to 8TB with several user-configurable RAID protection options. Extensive native codec technology allows media files in the VT database – regardless of compression format – to be played back-to-back from a single output channel.
