USA - Alcorn McBride has introduced the Digital Binloop HD, a product that provides playback of up to eight HD video channels in only three rack units. Designed for themed entertainment, museums, and other applications requiring high-resolution video playback, the Digital Binloop HD stores video on CompactFlash so it has no moving parts to wear out and handles video resolutions of 1080i, 720p, 480P/576P, or 480I/576I.

The Digital Binloop HD outputs video via HDMI or HD-SDI (SMPTE-292M) with embedded audio. Analogue video formats include component (YPbPr) or RGB, with composite Standard Definition monitor output; the unit can offer simultaneous SD and HD monitor outputs.

In addition to the unit's HD video capabilities, the Digital Binloop HD also supports stereo audio or Dolby or DTS bitstreams. It can also output networked audio via a CobraNet option. Any or all tracks can be synchronised with each other or with an external source. The unit can be controlled via SMPTE, RS-232, MIDI or Ethernet.

"The stunning video quality of HD will encourage rapid and widespread adoption of this format throughout the industry," said Alcorn McBride COO Jeremy Scheinberg. "The Digital Binloop HD, with its compact form factor and zero maintenance design, makes it easy for users to set up multiple channels of HD playback."
