Vizrt NRS16-10G-S Remote Storage Powered by SNS 16-bay 96TB with 2 x 1 GbE, 2 x 10 GbE - FG-003266-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS16-10G-S is a 16-bay, 96TB shared storage system powered by SNS, configured with 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports and 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ ports for facilities using fiber-based 10 GbE infrastructure. The SFP+ port configuration makes this model the preferred choice for broadcast studios and system integrators deploying NRS over long-distance fiber runs or in environments where SFP+ transceivers are the established connectivity standard. As with all NRS16 systems, it includes unlimited licenses of SNS ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automations engine, and Nomad remote editing for complete production-to-post workflow support.

Product Description

The NRS16-10G-S is functionally equivalent to the NRS16-10G in storage capacity and software capabilities, differentiated by its SFP+ 10 GbE port configuration in place of RJ45 copper 10 GbE. This makes it the correct selection for facilities using fiber optic cabling between storage and switch infrastructure, as well as for deployments requiring longer cable runs than copper 10 GbE supports. The 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports remain available for secondary workstations or management connections. NDI recording, growing-file editing, and ShareBrowser MAM function identically to other NRS16 configurations. The Slingshot automations engine manages scheduled file transfers, automated backup to cloud platforms, and cross-system replication. NRS API integration supports TriCaster-driven recording triggers and NDI source management. Supports up to four NRS16 expansion chassis, and redundant power supply is included.

Key Features

• 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ Ports — Fiber-compatible 10 Gigabit connectivity for facilities using SFP+ transceivers and long-distance cable runs.
• 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 Ports — Standard Gigabit ports for secondary workstation or management connections.
• 16-Bay, 96TB Capacity — Full-depth 3RU chassis with 96TB SATA/SAS storage for live production and archive media.
• NDI Recording and Playout — Multi-stream NDI capture with TriCaster API integration and growing-file editing support.
• SNS ShareBrowser MAM — Unlimited-user MAM with proxy preview, AI tagging, and TriCaster DDR integration.
• Slingshot Automations Engine — Scheduled backup, cloud sync, and cross-system replication included.
• Nomad Remote Editing — Proxy-based remote editorial access for off-site team members.
• Redundant Power Supply — Dual PSU for continuous broadcast facility operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The NRS16-10G uses 10 GbE RJ45 copper ports, while the NRS16-10G-S uses 10 GbE SFP+ ports compatible with fiber optic transceivers. Selection depends on your facility's physical cabling standard and switch port types.

What SFP+ transceivers are compatible?

Standard industry SFP+ transceivers for multi-mode or single-mode fiber are compatible. Consult your system integrator or Vizrt reseller for certified transceiver options.

Can the NRS16-10G-S be expanded?

Yes. The NRS16-10G-S supports up to four NRS16 expansion chassis, with HDD and SSD expansion options available.

Is there a performance difference between the SFP+ and RJ45 10 GbE configurations?

No meaningful performance difference exists at 10 GbE speeds. The choice is determined by physical connectivity requirements rather than throughput considerations.
