Primera’s end-to-end architecture includes all the components you need for the most integrated and reliable systems
possible: advanced hardware and software, matched supplies, and perhaps most important, local on-site installation,
training and service by factory-certified technicians. Applications already implementing Primera’s XR-series systems include
medical imaging, banking and insurance, government, military, kiosks, live video and audio processing, digital photo
processing, and content-on-demand at retail stores.
All XR-series hardware is built with tough, 18-gauge steel cabinets and 11-gauge steel bezels. Access doors are supplied
with locks and keys for maximum security. Supplies replenishment is accomplished entirely from the front, allowing
placement virtually anywhere: on counters, shelves and even in standard 19” wide racks with optional rack mount kits.
