Product Overview

The Dolby IMS3000 3.6TB SSD server is a DCI-compliant digital cinema integrated media server configured with internal 2TB solid-state drives in RAID 5. This IMS3000 SSD RAID 5 server provides approximately 3.6 TB of usable user storage with the performance and mechanical reliability of solid-state media. It targets auditoriums that want a solid-state digital cinema server for consistent high-bitrate playback. Specify this DCI-compliant SSD cinema server where reliability and steady read performance are priorities.

Product Description

This configuration is a complete Dolby IMS3000 integrated media server populated with three internal 2.5-inch 2TB solid-state drives in RAID 5. The array provides approximately 3.6 TB of usable user storage, a mid-capacity option that uses SSD media for higher performance and reliability than spinning disks. The drives are hot-swappable, so a failed drive can be exchanged without taking the server offline during a show day. As an integrated media block SSD build, 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 a lower-cost entry build, compare the 1.8TB HDD configuration; for maximum capacity, see the 10.5TB NAS configuration.
