Product Overview
The Dolby IMS3000 10.5TB NAS server is a DCI-compliant digital cinema integrated media server paired with a 1RU rack-mount NAS as main storage. This IMS3000 RAID 5 NAS storage configuration uses four 3.5-inch 4TB HDDs for approximately 10.5 TB of usable user storage, the largest capacity in this lineup. It targets high-throughput auditoriums and complexes that need a digital cinema server with NAS and offline ingest. Deploy it as a 1RU cinema media server NAS where long content retention and ingest while powered off are priorities.
Product Description
This configuration combines the Dolby IMS3000 integrated media block server with a 1RU rack-mount NAS option used as the server's main storage. The NAS holds four 3.5-inch 4TB hard disk drives in RAID 5, delivering approximately 10.5 TB of usable user storage with single-drive fault tolerance. When the NAS is used as main storage, no internal drives are populated, and the NAS can ingest content while the IMS3000 is powered off, enabling true offline ingest. The full IMS3000 feature set applies, including DCP playback up to 500 Mbps and 2K up to 120 fps or 4K up to 30 fps. The server is Dolby Atmos-capable with enablement, rendering immersive audio across the speaker array in supported auditoriums. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security protects content keys in line with DCI requirements. This offline ingest cinema server suits venues with heavy content turnover and large simultaneous libraries. As the largest-capacity option here, it pairs well with the lower-capacity internal-drive builds for mixed fleets. Explore the full Dolby professional collection or compare against the base IMS3000 server.
Key Features
