AirSpeed 5000

Versatility and value

End-to-end production workﬂow in your format

The AirSpeed 5000 Base conﬁguration delivers DV25/50 and

IMX 30/50 support. AVC-Intra 2 and 4 channel models

support MPEG-2 HD and DNxHD playback. AVC-Intra models use

Panasonic—sourced hardware codecs for the faithful, full-spec

implementations. Full DNxHD 85/100, 120/145, and 185/220

record/play can be added to all models, and optional simultaneous

H.264 proxy creation per channel supports easy and fast LAN/WAN-based

workﬂows with Interplay Production.

High availability

8TB or 4TB of usable storage means ample capacity for programming,

commercial, and interstitial content. RAID 50 media protection provides

an optimal balance of performance and availability in combination with

redundant OS drives, power supplies, network connections, and system

fans. Grouping up to six systems in an AirSpeed Studio conﬁguration

provides redundancy and ﬂexibility for even greater playout conﬁdence,

along with the option for failover channels with a playback control or

transmission automation system.

Faster production

The AirSpeed 5000 server can directly exchange ﬁles between P2 decks,

3rd party servers and editing systems. With Avid Media Composer

editors and ISIS

shared storage, the FrameChase™ feature virtually

eliminates the time between acquisition and editing, letting connected

editors access material seconds after the transfer begins. A single click

sends ﬁnished clips to playback, and AirSpeed 5000 fast media replay

provides immediate turnaround for live or breaking news events.

Play to air ﬂexibility

The AirSpeed 5000 server was designed with workﬂow speed

and playback ﬂexibility in mind. Clips that don’t match the preferred

playback format are automatically up, down, or cross converted, and

channel output switching between HD and SD eliminates the need

to dedicate channels to one format. Included high quality slow motion

playback is the perfect solution for key sports highlights under the most

demanding broadcast conditions.

Fits your budget

With full-featured two or four channel versions and direct operation

with Avid and other editors, AirSpeed 5000 gives you the conﬁdence

of a professional broadcast server that can ﬁt budgets. Fully tested

and qualiﬁed workﬂow solutions range from standalone operation

with Avid Media Composer editors to workﬂow enabled solutions

with Interplay | Production, Media Composer editing, ISIS shared

storage, support, training, and on-site professional services

to ensure smooth implementation. When ready, add the Avid

Interplay | Production, iNEWS

, and iNEWS | Command, systems

for central asset management, complete news content management,

and assisted playback automation.

Automated capture and playback

Full integration with the Interplay | Capture ingest control system

delivers reliable feed scheduling and recording, and the included

IsoSync application which allows one-button, frame-synchronized

multi camera capture into Avid ISIS shared storage for fast editing

and turnaround. For events spanning days or weeks, AirSpeed 5000

seamlessly handles recording, eliminating the need to manage ingest

scheduling. When it’s time to go to air, multi-channel playlists can be

built in the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console for automated playback.,

and the iNEWS Command playback control application provides cost

effective play to air under automated, assisted, or manual control.

AirSpeed servers also interface easily with automation systems through

an available API, industry standard VDCP, and Sony BVW 75 Protocol

support for external timecode, and GPI/O.

Safe, extended access

The Remote Console application provides the ability to monitor, control,

cue, play, record, change clip in/out points, create sub clips, create and

edit playlists, and manage clip inventory for all AirSpeed servers from

any CPU. Clips are easily identiﬁed with reference frames and all media

is accessible to feed room operations and connected editing clients.

Administrators can grant selective user access control to help protect

the integrity of on-air operations.

The Avid

AirSpeed

5000 server addresses a wide range of applications for broadcasters of any size. Designed for broadcast

and production applications with regular feed, live acquisition, production, or play to air playback needs, AirSpeed 5000 excels as

a standalone device or coupled with an Avid ISIS

shared media network and Interplay

Production asset management, allowing

incoming material to be used immediately by all contributors. AirSpeed 5000 models pack two or four channels of AVC-Intra record and

play plus DNxHD playback, or four channels of SD record and playback in a small form factor with modest per-channel power and

cooling demand. AirSpeed 5000 integrates easily with your existing, applications, control, and automation systems.
