New For-A Video Archiving Recorder Enables 'Archive at Ingest' Solutions for AVC-Intra/DVCPRO File Based Workflows



Fort Lee, N.J., - FOR-A, a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, will introduce the LTR-120HS video archiving recorder at the 2011 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nev., April 11-14 (Booth C5219). Using high-quality AVC-Intra/DVCPRO codec and MXF wrapper/un-wrapper, it records MXF files that can be used by a variety of NLE systems to LTO-5 tape.

The new recorder builds on the success of the LTR-100HS, introduced during last year's NAB show, which supports various MPEG-2 video formats. The LTR-120HS recorder supports AVC-Intra100, AVC-Intra50, DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO files. Designed to enable "archive at ingest" solutions, it can record video footage as an MXF file in real time by simply pressing "record" and "play" on the convenient front panel controls.

"LTO-5 high-capacity tape is a simple and effective archive solution for broadcasters and other production facilities," said Pedro Silvestre, Sales Director, FOR-A Corporation of America. "The LTR-120HS delivers reliable, cost-effective archiving for AVC-Intra and DVCPRO file-based workflows, and it's an important new component in FOR-A's MediaConcierge content management system."

With its internal hard drive, and with each LTO-5 tape providing 1.5 TB of recording capacity and LTFS portable file system, the LTR-120HS also doubles as a material/program exchange media server. The unit features HD/SD-SDI I/O, gigabit Ethernet interface for file-based I/O, and RS-422 for external VTR control. Housed in a compact chassis that is only three RU high and a half-rack wide, the LTR-120HS also includes a built-in LCD screen for convenient monitoring.

The LTR-120HS will be available this summer.
