The DCP-2 server is capable of playing MXF-Interop MPEG-2 movies at up to 80Mbits/sec. The server can also play pre-show content at a lower resolution and bit rate. The DCP-2 features up to 400GBytes of RAID1 storage in a 3RU chassis.

The ORCA-CS is an HD MPEG2 mastering station. It encodes HD-SDI to HD MPEG2 at up to 160Mbits/sec direct to the system's hard drive. The encoding process can be previewed live or played back at a later time. The ORCA CS is the first product to combine all the tools for real-time HD MPEG2 processing in one package.
