    • OVERVIEW

    Rio delivers the ultimate productive post workflow. Thanks to its real-time performance, its complete, integrated toolset that keeps the whole job in the suite, and full integration into today’s file-based workflows, Rio can handle everything you require from a finishing system — interactively and in real-time, making it the natural choice for client-attended sessions. To achieve this performance, Rio runs on enterprise PC hardware that exploits the latest NVIDIA Maximus multi-GPU technology to deliver interactive, real-time performance — even at 8K 60p.


    Rio is available in a choice of two turnkey configurations:
    • Rio 4K – unmatched power and capability for highend TV (UHD) and movie finishing (DCI)
    • Rio 8K – the world’s only real-time 8K 60p color and finishing system

    For those preferring to build their own hardware platform, there are two software-only options:
    • Rio – ideal for TV program and commercial finishing
    • Rio 4K software – all the tools for 4K color and finishing for UHD and DCI

    All Rio systems also handle HD and SD content for format flexibility.

    Video Workspace
    • Rio 8K is supplied with 5.5 hours of storage at 7680x4320 10-bit 422 59.94 fps. Essence is stored uncompressed on the system
    • The storage comprises of three 2 RU arrays each with 24 1.8 TB 10,000 rpm SAS drives
    • Each array is configured as RAID-60 with 20 drives and 4 parity drives
    • Each array has dual PSUs
    • The arrays are connected via SAS to the Rio 8K mainframe
    • Rio 8K does not support 8K 60p record or playback with a failed disk as the performance of the SAS RAID controllers drops by about 30% with a faulty disk present
    • No media is lost in the event of a disk failure and the system can continue to be used with one faulty drive although without real-time record or playback. The video data continues to be fully protected in the event that one drive fails per array.
    • Failed disks should be replaced when the system is not in operation as rebuilding the array further impacts performance and takes up to 6 hours
    • Expansion of the video workspace is possible by adding option 115 and/or option 117 taking it up a total of 18 arrays (6 wide and 3 deep), providing a total of 33 hrs of 7680x4320 @60p

    Audio Storage
    • Audio is stored on a mirrored pair of 480 GB solid state disks in the Rio 8K mainframe
    • Audio is stored as uncompressed 48 kHz 24-bit per channel
    • The storage capacity for 32 channel audio is 20 hours
    • The audio data is stored on two disks in a RAID-1 mirror configuration so is protected in the event of a failure of either disk. However, unlike the video data the audio data is not protected if one of the audio drives has failed. To reduce the risk of losing any audio data the system should not be used with a failed audio drive – the failed drive should be replaced and the array rebuilt as soon as possible. Rebuilding the array takes up to 90 minute.

    Video and Audio Interfaces
    Video and audio input/output is provided by four AJA Corvid 88 cards each with 8 3G SDI interfaces

    Other Supported Output Formats – Mono
