Vizrt NRS8-10G-S Remote Storage Powered by SNS 8-Bay with 2 x 1 GbE Ports Plus 2 x 10Gb SFP+ NIC - FG-003267-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS8-10G-S is an 8-bay, 48TB shared storage system powered by SNS, configured with 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports and 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ fiber ports for broadcast facilities using SFP+ connectivity standards. The SFP+ configuration makes the NRS8-10G-S the appropriate choice for facilities with fiber-based 10 GbE switching infrastructure or where longer cable runs are required. In a short-depth 4RU chassis, this system delivers high-throughput 10 GbE performance in a compact form factor, with full NDI workflow support and the complete NRS software suite for unlimited users.

Product Description

The NRS8-10G-S delivers the same functionality as the NRS8-10G in a SFP+ port configuration for facilities where fiber connectivity is standard. Two 10 GbE SFP+ ports support high-throughput shared storage access for TriCaster NDI recording and multi-user editing, while the 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 ports remain available for secondary connections or management access. The short-depth 18-inch 4RU chassis fits production racks with limited depth, including those in mobile broadcast vehicles and satellite studios. ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automations engine, and Nomad remote editing are all included for unlimited users. Supports one NRS16 expansion chassis for capacity growth. Redundant power supply is standard.

Key Features

• 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ Ports — Fiber-compatible 10 Gigabit connectivity for SFP+ infrastructure and long-distance cable runs.
• 2 x 1 GbE RJ45 Ports — Additional Gigabit ports for secondary workstation or management connections.
• 8-Bay, 48TB Capacity — Short-depth 18-inch 4RU chassis with 48TB SATA/SAS storage.
• NDI Recording and Playout — Multi-stream NDI capture with TriCaster API integration and growing-file editing.
• SNS ShareBrowser MAM — Unlimited-user MAM with proxy preview, tagging, and TriCaster DDR integration.
• Slingshot Automations Engine — Automated backup, cloud sync, and file transfer included.
• Nomad Remote Editing — Proxy-based remote editorial access.
• Redundant Power Supply — Dual PSU for continuous operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the NRS8-10G-S over the NRS8-10G?

Choose the NRS8-10G-S when your facility uses SFP+ transceivers and fiber cabling for 10 GbE switching, or when cable runs between the storage unit and the switch exceed the practical limits of copper 10 GbE cabling.

Does the NRS8-10G-S support the same NDI features as the NRS8-10G?

Yes. All NRS8 configurations share the same NDI recording, ShareBrowser MAM, and Slingshot automations capabilities. The only difference is the physical port type.
