The T2 HD iDDR is the latest addition to the Grass Valley family of Intelligent Digital Disk Recorders (iDDRs). The iDDR is a new class of VTR replacement that leverages the digital storage, networking, and media-management capabilities of our Emmy Award-winning video servers. The T2 intelligent digital disk recorder (iDDR) brings full high-definition capture and playback to the video professional. Additionally, the T2 HD iDDR works with standard-definition video and may be controlled from other production devices such as the Indigo A/V mixer.

The T2 iDDR is a complete and selfcontained SD and HD audio/ video playout center. The front-panel transport controls are designed to look and feel very much like those of traditional VTRs and its two output channels support standard- or high-definition content. The crisp, clear LCD front panel can display high-quality images and is complemented by a software application suite for managing and selecting media clips, clip editing and trimming, and playout— including playlist creation.

Featuring extensive rear-panel audio/ video connectivity, the T2 iDDR can also accept files via USB 2.0, or by data transfer over a standard gigabit Ethernet network. The T2 HD iDDR also accepts media from other applications, including HQAVI, MPEG-2, QuickTime, and Windows Media Video HD files. With the T2 iDDR, users can exchange content at high speed over a network or via removable media, such as SSD through USB, FireWire (IEEE 1394), or the dedicated 2.5-inch HDD/SSD slot.

Further, the T2 iDDR can be controlled by our Indigo A/V mixer—which combines features normally found in video production switchers, presentation mixers, and audio mixers—to create a powerful presentation system. The T2 iDDR has two playout channels for independent editing and previewing, or for delivering content to two different display systems simultaneously. The T2 iDDR has also been engineered to seamlessly integrate with Grass Valley EDIUS® nonlinear editing software.
