ARevolution in Hot-Swap Technology.
Are you ready for performance beyond your expectations? Whether you’re
recording, mixing, editing or capturing, in any production environment,
the Trip2 will reward you with a stress-free storage experience. Since Glyph
puts its Oxford 911- based bridge board in the tray with every drive, you can
be assured that your data integrity and performance will be consistent
wherever you take it.
Trip2 is specifically designed for high-resolution audio, and the
high-bandwidth requirements of video. Allocating audio files to
multiple drives will allow you to achieve maximum track counts at today’s
high sample rates. With video production, the high-performance 7,200
RPM hard drives deliver the huge capacity and speed necessary for the job.
Plus, the Trip2 is ultra quiet employing Glyph’s QuietMetal™ which reduces
noise from vibration.
Trip2 comes with your choice of two to six hot-swappable drives.
Available options for the Trip2 SCSI/FireWire expansion bay are: AIT
backup, SCSI hot-swap receiving bay, DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW.
Extending the reach of the Trip2, Glyph has introduced a single
FireWire Hot-Swap Tabletop receiver. And its included with every
purchase of a Trip2 so you can take your work on the road. In any audio
environment, the Trip2 offers options that go way beyond an off-the-shelf
storage system.

Freedom to move with Glyph’s Trip2™ Tabletop.
The Hot-Swap FireWire Tabletop Receiver accepts the same
drive/tray technology as the Trip2. It includes a built-in power
supply and standard dual 6-pin powered FireWire interface.
Imagine being able to record in the studio, pull the FireWire drive
and take it home to mix the record there.
You can move projects from one room to another; you can
track directly to it, or use a different drive for each client’s work.
You can send a drive home with a customer, or use one drive to
back up the data on another one. The possibilities are endless
with this receiver and tray design.
What sets this system apart from all other “Hot-Swap
FireWire” products is that the Glyph hot-swap interface operates
according to the IEEE 1394a standard. The bridge board is built
into the drive/tray. One of the benefits of FireWire is hot-
swappability, which means you remove or insert the tray at the
FireWire interface level.
Quiet like other Glyph products, hard drives and fans are
mounted on Glyph’s QuietMetal™. Made from a composite metal
technology, QuietMetal™ enables ultra-quiet operation for your
studio environment.
