Portable NLE Introduced With Triple 19-Inch Folding LCD
March 30, 2004
Madison, AL - MaxVision has announced the industry's first triple-LCD portable family of computers designed for maximum performance and portability in applications such as SD and HD video.
The new family of MaxPac X Class feature three independently driven 19-inch folding displays, combined with dual Xeon processors and seven hard drives (up to 2 Terabytes of storage), in a ruggedized, transportable form factor that meets every computing need of the video professional, the manufacturer reports.
"We designed the MaxPac X Class leaving absolutely nothing out and with the goal of meeting every expectation of the most demanding video professional, whether it's live video switching, video forensics or HD capture and NLE." stated Bruce Imsand, founder and CEO of MaxVision. "With 6 striped SCSI hard drives on two separate channels and a separate system drive, the MaxPac can meet the 200 MB/Sec bandwidth requirements of uncompressed HD. There are no compromises in the X Class - dual Xeon, PCI-X slots, and triple 19" LCD monitors driven by the Matrox Parhelia. There are extras too, like projector ports on each of the three monitors and selectable S-Video inputs on each of the three monitors for playback of external sources and an integrated dual media DVD burner. It doesn't stop there. We've integrated Bluetooth and Gigabit Ethernet and even an optional UPS to protect against power failures. It fits, it's tough, it operates cool and quiet and is ergonomically designed for continuous use. This is the only computer the video professional will ever need - period!"
The X Class will keep pace with advancing technologies by allowing for upgrades of the motherboards, processors, memory, disks, open graphics - in many cases, users can perform upgrades on their own.
For extended storage, the MaxPac can interface with MaxVision's TeraPac, which will accommodate an additional 2 Terabytes of SCSI storage using eight 300GByte SCSI hard drives. MaxVision is actively soliciting OEM relationships with NLE integrators and software developers. MaxVision routinely does custom designs and configurations to meet the exacting demands of particular OEM customers and their applications.
The MaxPac X Class is available immediately and ranges in price from $11,000 for a single display model to $28,000 for a loaded system with multiple displays, dual processors, and multiple drives.
