Slomo.tv Launches New Fulcrum AT/12G 4K Video Production & SuperMotion Replay Server

4K instant replay server with Super/Slow Motion offers category-leading functionality at cost-effective price

At NAB2018 (booth C9815), Slomo.tv, a leading international producer of cost-effective, high performance SSD-based video record and replay systems, will launch the new Fulcrum AT/12G 4K instant replay server. Representing one of Slomo.tv’s most advanced replay server systems, this new platform offers operators 10 replay channels (four record + four search + two play). Highlighting its cost-efficiency, the company is offering Fulcrum for USD $60,000 during April 2018.
 

The compact 4K server system enables advanced slow motion and instant replay capabilities as well as direct recording for editing ‘on site’. Search is available on all recorded channels simultaneously with recording and playing back of two channels with transition effects. The automatic creation of clips during instant replays is a Slomo.tv proprietary feature, which allows the operator to quickly create highlights/summary packages while working in instant replay mode

“While 4K cameras are becoming more affordable, the cost of a 4K replay channel is still expensive,” commented Igor Vitiorets, CTO at Slomo.tv. “Addressing this issue, we have developed our most affordable, but still powerful broadcast grade 4K slomo server in the Fulcrum AT/12G. Since many manufacturers use 12G SDI interfaces for 4K (UHD) production workflows this server is equipped with universal 12G/3G/HD/SD video interfaces, enabling just one (BNC) connector for all standards.  This perfectly fits modern cameras and switchers and significantly reduces the number of connecting cables.”

Together with several SSD technology developers, Slomo.tv has developed the capability of recording and storing high-quality video with SSD technology. The use of SSD storage empowers Slomo.tv servers with a number of advantages – search on all channels, recording uncompressed full-resolution video signals, large built-in storage capacity, lightweight servers, and the ability to operate in harsh conditions including high vibration levels.
