Vizrt NRS16-10G NRS16 Remote Storage Powered by SNS 16-Bay/96TB with 2x1 GbE Ports with 2 Additional 10 GbE Ports (NRS-2x10G) - FG-002079-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS16-10G is a 16-bay, 96TB shared storage system powered by SNS, configured with 2 x 1 GbE base ports plus two additional 10 GbE ports via the included NRS-2X10G expansion. This configuration is designed for broadcast studios and live production environments where high-throughput 10 GbE connectivity is required for simultaneous multi-user NDI capture, editing, and media playout. The NRS16-10G includes unlimited licenses of SNS ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automations engine, and Nomad remote editing — all tools needed for a complete production-to-post media workflow. It is the primary configuration choice for facilities running high-bitrate TriCaster workflows and multiple simultaneous editors on 10 GbE infrastructure.

Product Description

The NRS16-10G delivers the full NRS platform capability across a 10 GbE-capable network, supporting the throughput requirements of high-bitrate SpeedHQ, ProRes, and similar formats used in live broadcast production. The included NRS-2X10G expansion card adds two 10 GbE RJ45 ports to the base 2 x 1 GbE configuration, providing flexible connectivity for mixed network environments. NDI plug-in integration allows operators to preview each NDI source prior to recording and capture multiple streams simultaneously to shared storage, with growing files available for concurrent editing in Premiere Pro and other supported NLEs. ShareBrowser MAM provides searchable media asset visibility with proxy thumbnails and AI-assisted tagging, while the Slingshot engine manages automated cloud sync, backup, and cross-system replication. Nomad remote editing supports proxy-based access for team members working off-site. The system supports up to four NRS16 expansion chassis for capacity scaling, and redundant power supply is included as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the NRS16-10G and NRS16-10G-S?

The NRS16-10G includes 10 GbE via RJ45 copper ports (NRS-2X10G expansion), while the NRS16-10G-S uses SFP+ fiber/optical ports (NRS-2X10G-S expansion). The choice depends on your facility's cabling infrastructure.

Can I use both 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports simultaneously?

Yes. The NRS16-10G provides both 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports, allowing mixed-speed workstation connections across the same storage system.

Does the NRS16-10G support growing-file editing?

Yes. NDI streams recorded to the NRS are immediately accessible as growing files, compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro and other NLEs that support concurrent read-write access.

How many NDI streams can the NRS16-10G record simultaneously?

The system supports connection of up to 26 NDI-enabled sources, with simultaneous recording dependent on network bandwidth, bitrate, and storage throughput.
