What is the Rave product line
In a nutshell, Rave is a turnkey, Linux based line of disk drive recorders that drop on the network just like any other computer. Give it proper connections (Reference, SDI, RS422) and now the studio can use it like a deck (both slave and master control). Supports the full video gamut and even in stereo mode (that's two vtrs in a box sync'd together to do stereoscopic or two running independently)
The Rave line is written entirely in-house (no 3rd party code) which insures us that we can make everything talk and work in unison. AJA drivers, LTC drivers, RS422, image libraries...all ours. Rave products are frame based (Native DPX) so everything is handled down to the frame (timecode, audio, metadata). Designed so simple that DPX frames generated from other applications (AE, Combustion, shake, etc) can be dropped (moved) onto the Rave systems and immiedietly be playable (now in stereo if needed and configured as such) and frames (DPXs) that are generated by the Rave systems are now useable by these other apps.....pretty simple.
Add in the conversion and conforming tools and now you have a server that sits on your network (even a SAN), assessable by all, that thinks it is a deck and that can generate both uncompressed and proxy material in multiple formats. Did I mention this was Linux based.....
Hope that helps to clear things up in these confusing times.
What makes the Rave products unique? I know your going to ask.....check it out and see for yourself |
When asking for a quote from one of our customers, they returned with:
I am afraid our competitors would start using your equipment too and we would lose our advantage.
Pretty good quote I'd say....
