Spectrum MediaCenter 2200C ™

M E D I A S E RV E R W I T H I N T EG R AT E D S TO R AG E

Ideal for moderate (up to 20) channel-count applications, the Spectrum™ MediaCenter 2200C media
server from Harmonic provides file system and communication management and storage for video and
audio ingest and playout at a compelling price point.

I/O on the 2-RU MediaCenter 2200C is provided by up to 10 Spectrum X advanced media server systems which provide video/audio
interfaces as well as encode and decode for record and playback. Clients have access to FTP, CIFS and AFP file transfer via dual 10-GbE
connections. Combined, these capabilities provide network throughput of up to 225 MBps (depending on real-time play/record activity).

Storage options include up to 48 TB of integrated SAS storage, and up to 96 TB of external storage via the Spectrum MediaStore 7200
expansion storage chassis. For workflows requiring maximum storage bandwidth, the SSD storage option provides 15.2TB of usable storage.

Rock-Solid Reliability
MediaCenter 2200C combines with Spectrum X to deliver advanced integrated playout capabilities. Ultra HD and 3G channel-in-a-box
functionality is also supported with Spectrum X, as is SDI and IP I/O to ease the migration to IP workflows. When configured with Spectrum
X, the MediaCenter 2200C helps you meet your master control requirements today while allowing for future expansion:
• Disconnection of a Spectrum X media I/O module causes only that unit to stop operating until replaced or reconnected, while no other
component in the system is affected.

• Failure of a power supply does not disrupt system operation. A replacement power supply can be hot-swapped while the system is running.

• Failure of a disk drive does not result in loss of content or even a dropped frame.

• Dual redundant SAS connection to MediaStore 7200 expansion storage chassis

The isolation of component failures to minimize overall system impact is a key architectural advantage of the MediaCenter 2200C server.
It lowers the risk of a catastrophic failure, since the impact of any one component is limited to only a portion of the system, and failed
components can be quickly replaced while the system remains operational.
