Pronto2K/ProntoHD - the ultimate file-based disk recorders

The Pronto2K DDR leads the way in digital film and television. This fully configured turnkey system processes uncompressed SD, HD and 2K (2048 x 1556) in real time. It is also perfect for displaying HD as well as 2K and for theatre screening.

Working with the Windows® file system, Pronto2K and ProntoHD incorporate intuitive software which enables you to capture, process and play-out HDTV data either manually or automatically. The disk recorders and video server systems support BMP, YUV, TIFF, TGA, Cineon® and DPX for video sequences and AIFF and WAV for audio. File sequences are copied to the Pronto2K.2/ProntoHD.2 storage and played-out as video without conversion, making these systems the perfect link between the IT and the video worlds.

Data rates in excess of 306 MB/sec are achieved and in supporting all popular formats, Pronto2K and ProntoHD are totally future proof. Both systems can be adapted to a range of high-end post-production applications. Whether you need to capture uncompressed HD data, process it, colour grade it or output it to film, you will find the Pronto product line supporting your digital intermediate workflow at every stage.

By combining several units in a SAN environment, the systems provide multiple concurrent real-time HD input and output. Working as a “virtual telecine”, Pronto2K and ProntoHD deliver massive operational time savings.

Pronto2K.2/ProntoHD.2 - the ultimate file-based disk recorders

The Pronto2K.2 and ProntoHD.2 are versatile disk recorders for various applications. ProntoHD.2 handles uncompressed SD and HD material in real time. Pronto2K.2 adds uncompressed 2K (up to 2048 x 1556) in real time and 4K (up to 4096 x 3112) at 5psF. The DI and post production business will benefit from the dual-link HD-SDI interface which can capture and play RGB 4:4:4 12 bit material plus keycode. The DVI and analogue RGB outputs are perfect to feed HD or 2K material into projectors, CRTs, LCD and plasma panels. Editing and batch capturing are completed by auto conforming with transitions and speed effects.

With the VTR emulation mode Pronto2K.2 and ProntoHD.2 can easily be integrated into a wide range of applications from post production to presentation tasks. The integrated Spycer® gives powerful content management capabilities. The RAID-5 configuration prevents data loss in case of a drive failure and keeps down time low. Presentation applications will benefit from the multi-device mode, where multiple Pronto2K.2 or ProntoHD.2 can be controlled by a single RS-422 controller.
