Vizrt NRS8-10G NRS8 Remote Storage Powered by SNS 8-Bay/48TB with 2x1 GbE Ports with 2 Additional 10 GbE Ports (NRS-2x10G) - FG-002088-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS8-10G is an 8-bay, 48TB 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. The 10 GbE connectivity upgrade enables high-throughput production workflows for TriCaster environments running higher-bitrate formats or requiring faster multi-user shared storage access than 1 GbE infrastructure can support. In a compact short-depth 4RU chassis, the NRS8-10G is suited to smaller broadcast studios and production facilities that need 10 GbE performance without the full footprint of the NRS16. All NRS software tools are included for unlimited users.

Product Description

The NRS8-10G combines the compact form factor of the NRS8 with the throughput advantage of 10 GbE connectivity, making it appropriate for smaller TriCaster production teams running high-bitrate 4K or multi-stream HD workflows where 1 GbE throughput is a limiting factor. The included NRS-2X10G expansion adds two 10 GbE RJ45 ports to the base 2 x 1 GbE configuration, supporting mixed-speed workstation environments. NDI recording, growing-file editing, ShareBrowser MAM, and Slingshot automations all function identically to the NRS16-10G. The 48TB capacity and short-depth 4RU chassis make this system suitable for space-constrained broadcast racks, mobile production environments, and satellite studio deployments. Supports one NRS16 expansion chassis for capacity growth. Redundant power supply is standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of NRS8-10G over NRS8-1G?

The NRS8-10G provides 10 GbE connectivity for higher throughput per connected workstation, supporting faster media transfer and better performance with high-bitrate formats compared to the 1 GbE configuration.

Is the NRS8-10G suitable for 4K production?

10 GbE connectivity supports 4K production workflows for a small number of simultaneous users. Performance depends on media bitrate, concurrent workload, and RAID configuration.

What is the difference between NRS8-10G and NRS8-10G-S?

The NRS8-10G uses 10 GbE RJ45 copper ports; the NRS8-10G-S uses 10 GbE SFP+ ports for fiber connectivity. Select based on your facility's cabling infrastructure.
