What is the Vizrt NRS16/8/NL-EXP-192TB-Configured?
The Vizrt NRS16/8/NL-EXP-192TB-Configured is a 192TB NRS16 EXP expansion chassis that adds storage capacity to an existing Vizrt NRS16, NRS8 or NRS Nearline system. It connects to the host system over SAS rather than acting as a standalone server. It lets a broadcast or enterprise media team grow NDI shared storage without replacing the primary unit.
How does the Vizrt NRS16/8/NL-EXP-192TB-Configured work?
Vizrt describes the NRS16 EXP as a full-depth 3RU chassis with redundant power supplies, offered in SSD and HDD configurations, that provides SAS expansion to NRS16 and NRS8 systems. Up to four expansion chassis can be connected to an NRS16 or NRS Nearline, and one to an NRS8.
Once attached, the added capacity is managed by the host NRS, so recordings, ShareBrowser media asset management, transcoding and sync workflows continue to run from the primary system. Plan expansion count against the host model before ordering, and coordinate setup through Vizrt commissioning. Related listings include the NRS16 160TB expansion chassis, the ProTek Ultra plan for 160TB expansion and the NRS16 192TB system. Browse the full Vizrt live production and IP workflow products.
