About PVS3000 and PVS3500
The PVS3000 Series introduces the ability to use standard and high definition
hardware in the same Media Platform. Various models provide different capabilities,
depending on the hardware and software licenses that you purchase.
PVS3000
The PVS3000 provides separate SD and HD hardware in a single Media Platform.
You can define SD and HD channels that can run concurrently in your system.
SD channels allow you to record SD clips in MPEG (I-frame, Long GoP, or D-10),
DVCPRO 25, and DVCPRO 50 formats using your standard definition SDI inputs.
You can play clips in any combination of these formats on any SD channel using an
SDI output.
HD channels let you record and play high definition clips with your HD-SDI inputs
and outputs.
PVS3500
The PVS3500 includes an Agile Output software license that enables you to play SD
and HD clips through an HD decoder.
If your Definition Independent HD/SD Player channel includes a standard definition
SDI output, SD clips play out normally, and all HD clips are down-converted to SD
format with the aspect ratio conversion that you set with Configuration Manager.
If your HD/SD Player channel includes an HD-SDI output, HD clips play out
normally, and all SD clips are up-converted to HD format with the aspect ratio
conversion that you set with Configuration Manager.
NOTE: SD clips must be in MPEG 4:2:0 format to play out on a Definition
Independent channel.
