Description

Grass Valley T2 Elite 2 Digital Recorder and Player

The T2 Elite 2 Digital Recorder and Player from Grass Valley is a complete and self-contained SD and HD audio/video playout center. It supports real-time HD cross conversion and quick real-time playlist rendering. The front-panel transport controls have the look and feel of a traditional VTR. Two output channels support SD and HD content and are useful for independent editing and previewing, or for delivering content to two different display systems simultaneously. These are also suitable for edge-blending and displaying 3D content.
