FFV Launches Micron HD Digital Video Recorder

A renowned manufacturer and marketer of digital video recorders, have announced the release of the new Micron HD digital video recorder (DVR).
The highly cost-effective yet powerful solution for recording and playout of broadcast-quality digital SD and HD video, has been launched by Fast Forward Video (FFV).
The company was responsible to first incorporate digital computer technology, including random-access disk storage and data-compression capabilities, into professional video products.
The Micron HD offers many of the features of FFV's industry-leading Omega HD DVR, in a single rack unit and at a price point specifically targeted to today's most budget-conscious broadcast-grade operations.
Harry Glass, Vice President of Sales for FFV commented: "The Micron HD is a direct response to many of our customers who requested an inexpensive, entry-level HD DVR that could still measure up to the superb picture quality of the Omega HD."
He added: "The single-channel Micron HD is an ideal solution for broadcasters seeking to migrate to HD operations at a low cost per channel while maintaining SD capabilities."
It 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 also access a larger set of functions and command multiple units with one key stroke.
