Broadcast Server
700 Hours of Program Storage • Exceptional Value in Every Broadcast and Pro A/V Market

MAXX-2400 Delivers More
360 Systems' new MAXX 2400 delivers more channels, massive storage, expanded software features, and a price that makes economic sense.


	Large-Scale Performance for Mid Markets. More than 3,000 360 Systems video servers deliver content across America and the world.


MAXX-2400 Delivers More 360 Systems' new MAXX 2400 brings a lot more video server to broadcasting with two video inputs, four outputs, 700 hours of storage (six Terabytes), a broad set of video formats, and a comprehensive collection of server tools in an attractively priced package.	Next-Gen File-Based Workflow A clean synthesis of today's file-based workflows, with all the advantages of traditional base-band connections, MAXX-2400 fits well with today's production tools, while its hardware features and software tools make it a smooth upgrade for tape-based facilities. Fully compatible with leading automation systems, MAXX-2400 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.	Widest Range of Connectivity 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, a frame synchronizer for recording wild sources like tape and satellite feeds, and a complete set of audio formats, including Embedded, AES/EBU digital, and +4 analog.

	Exceptional Value in Every Broadcast and Pro A/V Market
	On-Line Archiving With the MAXX-2400's attractive price, on-line archiving of program content makes economic sense for the first time. Six Terabytes of storage and four VDCP playout channels ensure that the material you need is always on-line and ready to play. Just switch over automation control and keep on broadcasting. There's no need to bring it in from off-line storage - it's already there.		Compatible with Leading Broadcast Equipment 360 Systems' servers are on air with market leaders like Crispin, Florical, Harris, Nverzion and Sundance. In Europe, it's Ibis, Pebble Beach ProBel, Ninsight and many more. MAXX-2400 is also a plug-and-play fit with serial control from video switchers like Ross and Echolab, accepting commands to play up to four channels of video and graphics in perfect sync. Most desktop controllers also work with MAXX-2400, making it a good choice for sports and entertainment. Additionally, a new folder-based directory and fast search functions quickly locate any clip among thousands. The MAXX-2400 is available in both NTSC and PAL, handles content in many file formats, and provides the widest possible range of connectivity.

Designed for Broadcast Reliability

Redundant Power & Cooling Dual plug-in power supplies employ separate AC mains, and can be replaced with the server in use. Conservatively rated fans allow for more efficient forced-air cooling. And a sophisticated fault alarm provides immediate user notification should the server need attention.		Advanced RAID-6 Storage Six Terabytes of internal storage—more than 700 hours of programming—are now standard.


	Advanced Tools for Production and Broadcasting
	MAXX-2400's GUI controls all four video channels at once, with VTR-style buttons and displays for a familiar look and feel. You'll be able to do head and tail trims, segment network feeds for broadcast, and rapidly locate any file. Playlisting tools provide rapid list-building, editing and playout of sequences for news or commercial islands. With its production-oriented features, it may be all that's needed to get to air. Remote Workstation Software gives users full control of the MAXX-2400 from any location on the network, using only Ethernet and a low-cost PC. Networking for Digital Broadcasting Sharing content with the rest of the world is easy with fast file transfers over Gigabit Ethernet. Connect it to other servers, NLEs, and affordable Network Attached Storage for almost unlimited capacity. Now, it's possible to move content across the room-or across the country-rapidly and at low cost.				MAXX-2400 Applications • Exchanging content with NLEs • Transfers between satellite “cache” and air servers • File exchange with other MXF servers • Archive with playout capability • File exchange with Network Attached Storage • Sharing content with affiliates over broadband networks • Bi-directional IMX® transfers with Final CutPro® (option) • Remote Workstations for ingest, trimming, playlisting PDF Download download MAXX-2400 Brochure
