The Perfect Unit for File-Based Production Application ExamplesThe MBP-100MP is a 1RU size multi-format player offering HD-SDI output of miscellaneous files. The major file formats used in video production, including various MXF files like XDCAM HD and P2HD are supported. The unit is very useful for building a file-based system allowing for the effective use of existing baseband system assets.

Playback of Miscellaneous File Formats Supported

● Support for audio files conforming to various formats● Supported file formats are provided in plug-in form and more will be added as needed● Miscellaneous files can be collected via Ethernet in the main unit’s storage (SSD)● Equipped with HD-SDI output and capable of outputting various files collected in the main unit as baseband signal● Proves its effectiveness when you need to connect to a baseband system in an environment with multiple file formats mixed

together● Support for up to 8 channel audio output in embedded format

● The small EIA 1RU size and vibration-resistant case make it per-fect for portable and on-board applications.

● Unlike products built on a PC platform, the product can be started up and shut down with a single power switch because of custom hardware.

● The custom hardware, developed by FOR-A, offers highly stable playback.

● Uses SSD for recorded media, resistant to vibration, yielding stable video

Control Software

● The control software uses thumbnail images, which let you confirm the content of recorded clips at a glance (file format, file name, metadata, icons, etc.)

● By incorporating footage into the “MediaConcierge™” media manage-ment system, the unit can be used as a clip server, with footage man-agement and transmitted program control using a database.

*Metadata cannot be displayed in a uniform manner, since it will be read differently according to the file format.

Bank registration / File receiving terminal

Hardware Design Featuring the Latest Technologies

● Ethernet: equipped with Ethernet support for 100Base-TX/ 1000Base-T, supports high speed file forwarding

● USB: Equipped with 4 channels of USB ports (2 each on front and back) conforming to USB 2.0, and allows connection to external drives, keyboard and mouse

● RS-422: Connection to an external controller enables various controls with VTR emulation command

● GPI: Equipped with GPI terminal (convenient for system build-ing), enabling control of playback and stop operations by GPI (3 input, 3 output)

● VGA: Equipped with PC display terminal to enable various settings, use of control software, and preview function

Plenty of Interfaces

● Changing between footage in different file formats may cause change over shock in the video and audio signals involved

● Baseband input is not supported● File format conversion is not supported● There are limitations on file formats capable of seamless play-

back or trick playback● Direct playback from miscellaneous media is not supported

(planned for future support)

Please note

● VDCP footage ID selection function● Function to designate in and out points in footage for partial

playback● Footing list editing (realignment, display on/off, etc.)● Back registration application

Options

● Ideal for use in systems that cannot limit file formats when importing footage

● Allows use as file input terminal when continuous bank opera-tion is needed with baseband systems

● Media recorded by camcorder, etc, is forwarded to the MBP-100MP over drives manufactured by various companies and output via HD-SDI baseband signals

● Proc Amp and gain control function for video and audio output

● Files that are edited and produced in non-linear form are forwarded to the MBP-100MP over a network and output with HD-SDI baseband signals

● MBP is controlled by touch panel monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.● With connection to a VTR controller, supports even trick play

features, such as of playback, stopping, fast forward and rewind (supported file formats limited)

● Also supports external triggers by GPI
