Product Overview
The Dolby IMS3000 1.8TB server is a DCI-compliant digital cinema media server configured with internal 1TB HDDs in RAID 5. This IMS3000 HDD RAID 5 server provides approximately 1.8 TB of usable user storage, the entry-capacity build of the platform. It suits single-screen and lower-turnover auditoriums that need a fully featured integrated media block server without large libraries. Specify this DCI-compliant cinema server where reliable playback matters more than maximum capacity.
Product Description
This configuration is a complete Dolby IMS3000 integrated media server populated with three internal 2.5-inch 1TB hard disk drives in RAID 5. The array provides approximately 1.8 TB of usable user storage, making it the entry-capacity option in the IMS3000 lineup. The drives are hot-swappable, so a failed drive can be exchanged without taking the server offline during a show day. As a digital cinema media server with 1.8TB, it stores ingested Digital Cinema Packages and supports play-while-ingest workflows. 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 and draws less than 70 W. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security protects content keys to DCI requirements. For higher capacity, compare the 3.6TB SSD configuration or the 10.5TB NAS configuration, or browse the Dolby professional collection.
