IOI DVR Express® Core 2 MAX
Advanced High-Speed Digital Video Recorder with IRIG and GPS
The new DVR Express® Core 2 MAX builds on the success of the Core series, offering more camera inputs and faster direct-to-disk recording speed, enabling more of the latest industrial and scientific cameras to be reliably recorded over long durations. As well, the faster host PC speed means better live video display and shorter file export times.
Applications
- Test Range Video Recording
- Space Launch Imaging
- Multi-Camera Motion Capture
- Stereo and 3D PIV/PTV
All DVR Express® Core models support uncompressed video recording at the maximum data rate of their respective video standards – with no frame drops. Every captured frame of video is time-stamped in hardware with sub-microsecond accuracy. Core’s internal timer can be synchronized to the time clock of a remote computer facilitating synchronization to IRIG-B and GPS receivers. Core’s RAID storage engine provides an added level of protection against data loss.
DVR Express® Core 2 MAX Highlights
- Reliable uncompressed video recording from Camera Link, CoaXPress or SDI video sources
- Long recording durations at high frame rates
- SDI video output for display during recording
- Precise timestamps with integrated IRIG input or optional single/dual-channel GPS receiver
- Connects easily to laptops or PCs via USB 3.0 TM
- Includes easy-to-use CoreView software
- Optional SDK for programmers

DVR Express® Core 2 MAX Features
ULTIMATE HIGH SPEED VIDEO RECORDER
With image sensor resolutions and frame rates always advancing, digital video data rates continue to climb. The DVR Express® Core 2 can record video at data rates up to 1620 MB/s, but for the ultimate in high-
INTEGRATED TIME REFERENCE INPUTS
Timing can be everything when it comes to video analytics. Understanding the precise time when a frame is captured allows a better correlation of imagery to other data sources, such as telemetry systems, environmental sensors, or other DVR systems in other locations. DVR Express Core 2 MAX includes IRIG-
VIDEO MONITORING OUTPUTS
The DVR Express Core 2 MAX features four 3G/HD-
HIGH CAPACITY FOR LONG RECORDINGS
Traditional high speed video cameras rely on internal memory for storage, usually with enough capacity for a few seconds or minutes of video at most. The DVR Express Core 2 MAX can be configured with up to 22.5 TB of removable solid state storage, meaning tens of minutes if not hours of video can be recorded, without the need to download to disk after recording! Long-
DESIGNED FOR RACK MOUNTING
Mounting a DVR Express Core 2 MAX couldn’t be simpler. With the chassis designed specifically for integration into standard 19″ hardware racks, this DVR is ready to be installed almost anywhere. Each Core 2 MAX occupies a 2U rack height but only half the 19″ shelf width, allowing two DVRs to be mounted side-
RUGGED NON- VOLATILE SOLID STATE MEDIA
The DVR Express Core 2 MAX has three rugged removable drive cartridges, each holding up to two solid-
UNCOMPRESSED RECORDING
Video compression has its place with some applications, but when a critical experiment is underway and the best possible video quality is required, experts turn to the DVR Express Core series. These powerful recorders store high-
MULTI- CAMERA SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING
The DVR Express Core 2 MAX can record from up to four cameras simultaneously, simplifying multi-
COREVIEW DVR SOFTWARE
Easy-to-use CoreView™ software is included with each DVR Express Core 2, allowing configuration and operation of one or more DVRs. Each camera is shown with an independent display window, and multiple monitors can be used to show each camera full-screen on separate displays. After recording, files can be played back or reviewed frame-by-frame, then exported into commonly-supported image or video file formats including BMP, JPG, TIF, AVI, MOV, RAW and more. A backup feature also allows recordings of one or more camera from one or more DVRs to be saved together in a local file for later review.
FASTER PC CONNECTION
Like the first generation Core DVRs, the DVR Express Core 2 MAX is also a PC peripheral, intended to be connected at all times to a PC system. The PC interface allows for DVR configuration, operation, live video display and file transfers after recordings are completed. The Core 2 MAX features a 6Gbps eSATA port, twice as fast as its predecessor, plus a USB3.0-
