CAUTION: Replace battery only with the same or equivalent type. BR and CR Lithium batteries
are safe for disposal in municipal waste. Batteries should be fully discharged prior to disposal.
CAUTION: Never use the power supply switch to shutdown the Image Server. Doing so may
cause errors in the hard disk array. Should this happen, the array can be reinitialized without
any data loss; however, the process may take several hours. Shutdown the system only by
momentarily pressing the front panel power button, or through the On-Screen user interface.

4•Image Server 2000

Introduction =5
INTRODUCTION
360 Systems’ new Image Server 2000™ is a multi-stream video recorder/server designed for
television broadcast and production. It can play three independent video streams at once, and
stores up to 100 hours of MPEG-2 video, with four audio channels per video stream, in just 3½” of
rack space. The server’s extensive feature set makes it an excellent choice for VTR replacement,
automation, remote trucks, and new IP-based designs including MXF network transfers. The Image
Server 2000 is produced in NTSC and PAL models. References in this document to frame counts
above 25 frames should be understood to be an NTSC example; an appropriate PAL frame count
should be assumed for PAL servers.
The Transition to a Digital Plant
The Image Server smoothes the transition to a digital broadcasting plant by providing
composite video and serial digital (SDI) interfaces, plus network transfers in MXF format over
Gigabit Ethernet. It’s never necessary to add additional video A/D or D/A converters, and a full
complement of premium-quality MPEG-2 codecs is included as standard equipment. Its dual
analog and digital personality helps it fit seamlessly into an existing analog facility, or become part
of a new digital build-out.
Exceptional Storage Capacity
The Image Server’s program storage is scaleable to suit the needs of both small and large
users. It houses four hard drives within its compact enclosure, providing from 48 to over 100
hours of storage at 12 Mb/s (Megabits per second). Storage time is proportional at other data rates.
The server’s RAID-5 disk array provides a high level of security for stored programs. By spreading
parity information across all drives, the RAID array keeps the server on-air-even with a failed drive.
The multi-drive array also generates the high data rates needed for multiple video streams at up to
50 Mb/s, and enables fast program transfers through the Gigabit Ethernet ports.

IMAGE SERVER 2000 STORAGE TIMES
The Image Server 2000’s ability to play two video streams while recording another, plus
simultaneous MXF file transfer over Ethernet, make it far more than just a replacement for a VTR.

6•Image Server 2000
At 25 Mb/s and lower, three simultaneous channels may be operated. At 50 Mb/s, the Image
Server 2000 will support two simultaneous video streams: either two in playback, or one record
and one playback.
Image Servers Support
Traditional VTR Functions
The Image Server is a perfect drop-in replacement for popular VTRs. It saves costs for tape,
machine maintenance, cassette prep, and storage. The three output channels perform any
combination of tasks including automation commands, trimming, browsing, or manual playout.
Unlike a VTR, the Image Server can simultaneously record and play a program, providing a
broadcast delay of any length. A new recording can start at any time, even when two simultaneous
playbacks are in progress. As a VTR replacement, the Image Server is controlled through a
standard serial interface. Many popular serial protocols are supported, allowing the Image Server
to immediately operate with the controllers you already own.
Compatibility with Automation Controllers
Image Servers work with automation controllers from many different manufacturers. They
use established VDCP and Odetics® protocols and provide a 9-pin control input port for each
server channel, for maximum flexibility. 360 Systems’ Automation Partners provide controllers for
applications ranging from low-cost systems for public access and educational programming, up to
large-scale broadcast solutions. Contact a 360 Systems application engineer for assistance with
your requirements.
Remote Controls
Many hardware accessories are available from third-party manufacturers to perform
transport control, trimming, clip replay and playlisting. These may employ VDCP, P2, or Odetics
protocols. Contact us for assistance with a specific application.
The Image Server also provides six GPI inputs, for remote control of play, stop, and record
functions from push-button panels or other GPI-controlled equipment. Six outputs are also
provided for command acknowledgement, and may drive LEDs or logic inputs.
Extended Feature Set
The Image Server encodes video in MPEG-2 format, in either 4:2:2 Profile with data rates to
50 Mb/s, or in Main Profile from 2 to 15 Mb/s. Both I-frame and long-GOP formats are supported.
File transfers in MXF-format are compatible with servers from many other market leaders.
The recent DV and Graphics Option allows Direct Digital Import™ of DV and TARGA files
over Ethernet. DV files may also be edited, playlisted, stored and played out. TARGA files will be
converted into separate MPEG-2 Key and Fill files, which can then be played out as a synchronized
pair, for downstream compositing in a switcher.

Introduction =7
As standard equipment, the Image Server includes LTC and VITC time code capabilities,
closed-captioning, VDCP, P2 and Odetics 9-pin control, GPI inputs and outputs, and both 100 Mb
and Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Full Slate of Audio Features
The Image Server 2000 includes both analog and digital audio circuits, making it an
important part of the transition to digital broadcasting. It includes gold XLR connectors for audio
inputs and outputs, and each can be configured for either AES/EBU digital or +4 dBu balanced
analog. In digital format each video program can have four channels of audio, whereas analog I/O
provides two channels. (An AES/EBU line on a single XLR connector carries two audio channels,
so a given number of XLR connectors make more channels possible in digital format.)
360 Systems brings over 30 years experience in broadcast and pro-audio to the audio
design of the Image Server 2000. It utilizes a 24-bit word, and delivers a 20 dB improvement in
SNR (10 times) compared with older 16-bit audio systems. An insertable sample-rate converter is
included, plus input circuits with excellent hum and RF rejection, and 20 dB of headroom. 360
Systems’ Bit-for-Bit® design strategy guarantees that when a Dolby®-E, Dolby AC3, or any other
encoded program is recorded, it will play back correctly.
On-Screen Graphic User Interface
The Image Server’s On-Screen graphic user interface (GUI) gives fast access to key server
functions. It is controlled by a standard keyboard and pointing device (supplied) and requires only
a VESA-compliant VGA or SVGA monitor or flat-panel display.
The GUI displays a virtual control panel for each server channel, which includes transport
control buttons, clip file management, plus head and tail point trimming, allowing the Image Server
to operate as a self-contained VTR equivalent.
System configuration is clear and straightforward with the On-Screen GUI. It provides
access to MPEG-2 encoding parameters, audio channel settings and time-code assignments.
Whenever new server features are installed (using the built-in CD-ROM drive), new set-up
parameters and user-interface features are immediately accessible.
MXF Networking on Gigabit Ethernet
Image Servers move beyond providing just a simple base-band solution for video input and
output. MXF file transfers over Gigabit Ethernet open the door to new IP solutions for transferring
video across the room—or across the country—at exceptionally low cost.
By using economical switches, routers, and computer-industry infrastructure, the Image
Server’s Gigabit Ethernet design enables low-cost networking of broadcast operations from ingest to
storage, for editing, play-to-air, and archiving. The Image Server 2000 can move programs many
times faster than real time, saving time and streamlining operations.
360 Systems’ MXF implementation uses Operational Patterns 1a and 1b. It has been tested
for compatibility with MXF files from many other server manufacturers. 360 Systems can make
Image Server 2000 MXF files available for testing and evaluation through our FTP Site. Contact the
customer service department to arrange for access.

8•Image Server 2000
Reliability Counts
360 Systems has 30 years’ experience manufacturing equipment for television broadcast
and other critical industries. We understand quality and reliability, and we’ve paid close attention
to design issues like power, cooling, and protecting stored data. We’ve also included alarms on
key server components. When the very highest level of reliability is required, Image Servers are
priced so attractively that it can even make good business sense to install them in redundant pairs.
