Product Overview
The Vizrt NRSNL-EXP160TB is a 16-bay, 160TB expansion chassis for the NRS16 Nearline series — the highest-capacity nearline expansion option available. Designed for broadcast facilities with large ongoing archive requirements, the NRSNL-EXP160TB provides the maximum single-chassis capacity expansion for NRSNL16 primary systems, extending total archive depth significantly for organizations producing high-volume daily media content.
Product Description
The NRSNL-EXP160TB is the appropriate expansion selection when the 32TB and 96TB nearline expansion chassis are insufficient for the facility's archive growth trajectory. At 160TB, it provides the most capacity per expansion unit in the nearline series. Integration with the NRSNL16 primary system maintains unified ShareBrowser MAM visibility and Slingshot automation continuity across the expanded storage pool. Facilities producing continuous live programming at high bitrates — broadcast news networks, major sports operations, and multi-channel entertainment producers — will benefit from the additional archive depth this unit provides without requiring a second primary nearline system.
Key Features
- 16-Bay Maximum-Capacity Expansion — 160TB nearline expansion — the highest-capacity option in the NRSNL expansion series.
- SNS Software Integration — Unified with existing ShareBrowser and Slingshot environments without additional licensing.
- SATA/SAS Drive Compatibility — Compatible with the NRSNL16 primary system's drive configuration.
- Unified Archive Management — Extended storage pool managed through a single ShareBrowser interface.
Typical Applications
- Maximum-capacity nearline expansion for high-volume broadcast archive environments
- Large sports and news production archives requiring extensive media retention
