The advantages of our new, 3rd generation compliance recorder.

We have distilled our 20-year experience in broadcasting technology, plus a further six years of specific disk-recording development, into our new TRACS product line. All of the
knowledge, and customer feedback, we have accumulated during these years has resulted in a completely new system offering greatly improved features and performance.

Better hardware
The new TRACS is built on custom-developed 1RU frames, which include redundant power supplies and three RAID 5-configured, front-removable hard disks. The newly designed front panel has a display that is controlled using a simple rotary dial. The display shows system-alerts, and you can adjust system-settings using the rotary dial. Our new PCI-express card can perform simultaneously as an input/output card, making separate play-out units unnecessary. The new I/O card can also record up to 16 audio channels per input. To make compliance recording even more efficient and compact for large companies, we have introduced the eight-input encoder. This 1RU box has eight SDI inputs and no local storage. It encodes all inputs to MPEG2 or MPEG4 and stores material, via FTP, on third-party servers.
And we’ve made sure that all our new hardware is future proof.

Smarter software

The GUI has been completely redesigned, making it easier to use, yet more powerful than before. It is now a ‘thick’ client application, enabling simultaneous access for multiple users, with free-of-charge download of the interface application and on-going updates.
We have extended the monitoring view, and this is now a completely user-definable environment. Every user can look at their own tile-set of thumbnails, which are all scalable
in size per tab. You can monitor, live and in real-time, the input of any channel (including video, audio, Teletext and Closed Captioning content) across your entire network. Search and play-out functions have been greatly improved, in terms of ease-of-use and functionality. TRACS now gives you complete control over the video-playout. You can edit the start and end times of a clip, and build your own
download list. Thanks to the new user-management system, you have complete control over which user has access to which
channels, their range of capabilities, and which notifications should be mailed to them.
