Motion FX Systems TP-AJA-D Overview

Features

Thunderbolt Storage

Connect your computer via a single Thunderbolt terminal to gain access to all of the functionality of the ThunderPack. With 20 2.5" drive slots available for storage, you should have no problem storing sound, image, and other media files for use on set. Video DITs can transfer and store hours of uncompressed or raw footage for creating dailies or even a preliminary online edit with data transfer speeds greater than 700 MB/s. Photo DITs can immediately begin organizing or working on high-resolution raw photos from a tethered digital camera or digital back while the photographer is still shooting. This ThunderPack configuration comes with 20 2.5" aluminum HDD canisters to fit hard drives of your choosing.

Advanced I/O

Not only for storage, the ThunderPack provides access to video I/O by way of a built-in AJA io-4K for interfacing with professional, high-resolution video acquisition and monitoring hardware. Many video DITs also do preliminary color correction or raw video processing for dailies, requiring a calibrated SDI monitor for accurate colors. Having the Io 4K also allows for the operation of professional software, which requires the presence of the extra I/O, such as Q-Take, for recording dual-camera setups.

Additional interfaces for data include SAS connections for LTO-6 archival storage and RJ45 gigabit Ethernet connections for expanding your on-site network. USB 3.0 connections are also available for flash drives, portable hard disks, and other peripherals.

Advanced Power Options

ThunderPack systems can have up to 588 Wh of battery power provided by six separately available hot swappable 98 Wh lithium-ion battery packs. These packs supply power for the internal electronics, and via the DC rail outputs, a wide range of external devices such as laptops or battery chargers can be connected. Peak loads of up to 480 watts are supported. For power autonomy, a solar power input allows for operation in remote regions.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

Using an integrated router, the ThunderPack can create its own wireless network providing means of communication for all Wi-Fi enabled devices on set. Now that many devices can take advantage of, or even require, a Wi-Fi connection for operation, the ThunderPack acts as a central base of communication for controlling and communicating with those devices.

Pelican Case Enclosure

When not in use, the main unit of the ThunderPack can be completely enclosed in the included Pelican case. When sealed, the case protects the ThunderPack unit from inclement weather and is rated to remain waterproof for up to 30 minutes at depths of 3'.
