The VR4NTSC VisionRecorder from Boulder Imaging includes up to four NTSC, PAL, RS-170 or CCIR inputs, compared to just one input and features full-resolution recording without any degradation due to video compression or multiplexing -- similar to a digital video recorder, bit without compromising quality.

The imaging system also features frame-by-frame time-stamping synchronized to IRIG-B. VR4NTSC will record either 60 fields or 30 f/s with time stamps for each; fully removable recording media for secure installations; and easy to use interface with touchscreen buttons; synchronized recording and playback from all four channels with the click of a button; and has simple and flexible video archiving functions.

The VR4NTSC has up to four inputs (NTSC, PAL, RS-170 or CCIR) supported in any combination.  The recording capacity for NTSC/PAL color is up to 11 hours; for RS-170/CCIR monochrome, up to 22 hours. Longer capacity is available with video compression options. It includes IRIG time input, a locking front panel, up to four removable data disks, Intel Core 2 Duo processing technology, a high-performance graphics card, USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet ports, Windows XP operating system and a 2U rack-mount chassis.

Cameras are available separately on request.
