About Softron M62

With the M62, you can enjoy all the amazing features of MovieRecorder and the ones of OnTheAir Video Express in a certified hardware and software bundle. We have gathered what we think are the highest quality hardware components in order to ensure the best experience possible. Just connect the M62 to your new Mac Pro, using a single Thunderbolt 2 cable, start MovieRecorder 3 and OnTheAir Video Express and you are ready to start ingesting 6 channels of HD (or SD) and playout 2 channels on your Mac Pro!

The M62 is a hardware and software bundle that we provide. It includes
• Six licenses of MovieRecorder and two licenses of OnTheAir Video Express (on a single dongle)
• One SDI Video card from Deltacast card (DELTA-hd-elp-d 62) with 6 inputs and 2 outputs
• One Sonnet Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt 2 Expansion Chassis
• One Black Thunderbolt cable

You will just need to connect it in Thunderbolt and the dongle to your new Mac Pro and you are good to go. The only thing you'll need to buy is a Mac Pro, because, no the Mac Pro is not included for the price.

A small and silent expansion chassis
Softron has a lot of experience working with Sonnet and their xMac mini Servers and xMac Pro Server solutions. These are amazing products that have been put into service by a number of our users who require rack-mountable solutions. The Sonnet Echo Express SEL is the only Thunderbolt 2 device that is suitable for Low-Profile cards, making it the smallest yet most powerful solution to accommodate the Low-Profile Deltacast card that we chose for the M62. As you can see in the picture above, you will notice that this chassis is very small - just like the new MacPro! AND most importantly, it is QUIET!

What about 2K and 4K?
With the M|62, you are able to record either:

• 6x HD (or SD)
• 3x 2K
• 1x 4K signals

And to playout either

• 2x HD (or SD)
• 1x 2K
