NX3601HDI Media Platform with Integrated Storage
Features The NEXIO AMP™ NX3601HDI media platform with integrated storage is much more than a robust HD/SD transmission server — it represents an entirely new approach to managing digital content. From ingest to transmission, the NX3601HDI delivers exceptional reliability, flexible media I/O and complete format transparency. The NX3601HDI supports up to six channels of SD I/O or three channels of HD or mixed HD/SD I/O. Six internal, hot-swappable 750 GB SATA-2 storage drives, agile software-based codecs and cutting-edge IT connectivity come standard. The system is fully software configurable and provides real-time I/O and network interfaces. External device support is provided with USB 2.0 and FireWire® ports for file import and export, and a 5.25” drive bay accepts supported third-party devices, such as a Panasonic® P2 deck. Ethernet and FTP connectivity support network devices such as shared folders and near-line storage systems.
As a member of the NEXIO™ server family, the NX3601HDI runs Harris’ patented and Emmy® Award-winning RAIDsoft™ software RAID management system, which allows all channels and network ports to simultaneously access content without restriction. The intelligent RAIDsoft™ system keeps cached copies of the File Allocation Tables (FAT) in RAM and on disk, adding exceptional system resiliency. The NX3601HDI can be upgraded to the NEXIO AMP™ NX3601HDX media platform and attached to a NEXIO™ storage area network (SAN), enabling a shared storage system with more than 100 channels.

High-Performance Technology
NXOS also includes two versatile NEXIO™ features: MediaBase™ and Transfer Manager.
Processors Two dual-core, 64-bit AMD OpteronTM processors provide real-time, high-bit-rate encoding and decoding, and enable the NX3601HDI server to ingest and play out up to six channels simultaneously.
■
As the NEXIO™ content management system, MediaBase™ presents the NX3601HDI clip list with real-time updates when changes are made to storage.
■
Transfer Manager enables server-to-server and server-to-drive transfers to and from the NX3601HDI server, including support for USB and FireWire® devices, and networked and local drives.
MediaCore™ Engine MediaCore™ is a high-performance, 64-bit software engine that controls all low-level NEXIO AMP™ functionality. It’s a multistream module that manages real-time transactions and system status updates, as well as RAIDsoft™, Harris’ software RAID and disk storage management system. MediaCore™ employs task-specific, multicore CPU/GPU/FPGA processing to effortlessly handle all baseband video and file I/O. The module can be controlled via external or internal interfaces.
Standard Applications NXOS The standard user interface for the NEXIO AMP™ mainframe is NXOS. This intuitive operating system allows the user to control ingest and playout on all channels — including off-speed play, trimming and subclip creation.
NXOS Standard Interface NEXIO™ FTP Server The NEXIO™ FTP Server application enables the movement of material from server domain to server domain, and import and export of material outside of the NEXIO™ server environment via Ethernet. NEXIO™ PlayList NEXIO™ PlayList is an event-sequencing application that can be used for play-to-air operations such as commercial insertion, time-of-day events, moving backgrounds and more.
