Simplylive releases R8 replay server

Simplylive has unveiled the R8 replay server, a compact replay system designed to offer high-end replay functions for smaller production requirements.

The R8 offers the same intuitive user interface as Simplylive’s ViBox range. Along with the touchscreen interface, the operator has a dedicated replay controller for jogging and lever control with the interaction of the touchscreen. The full video available within the replay UI allows for a minimal footprint without the need for additional monitoring. All the action exists in front of the operator for multi-angle control and review to quickly find the best replay angles.

The R8 is designed in a compact 1RU server with eight channels for up to six camera inputs for instant replays and highlights along with options for exporting all clipped media content. It includes flexible I/O options with SDI, NDI, TS UDP, TS RTP or SRT configurations and up to 16 channels of embedded audio per video channel.

“The Simplylive ViBox replay systems have become powerful solutions with our networking capability and high channel densities, including UHD HDR, for large-scale productions,” said Simplylive managing director Luc Doneux. “The R8 will bring the same level of replay power in a compact, efficient chassis designed for shipping optimisation and robustness. We designed a revisited user experience in this compact, multichannel solution at the right price.”
