影音器材业界知名的SkipJam公司，日前宣布将针对Xbox 360推出外接式的网络视频储存装置，能让玩家把Xbox 360的硬盘容量最高扩充到3TB（3072 GB），以储存更多的数据。
SkipJam是专门生产各种专业及视频剪接、储存器材的专业公司，推出的“SkipJam iMedia X-Stream Storage System（XSS，外接式媒体储存系统）”是世界各国的各大专业电视台所使用的视频处理、储存装置。现在也慢慢广泛使用到一些DVD硬盘影像播放机上，提供使用者把视频储存到最高容量达3TB的超大储存硬盘中，是目前广泛使用的专业级产品。
而Xbox 360本身可以播放高画质的视频，不过因为Xbox 360自带的硬盘容量只有20GB，无法储存太多的高画质影片，所以微软在设计时也能让Xbox 360通过网络连接到安装有Windows Media Center的计算机上，把视频文件存到计算机硬盘中，之后再提供给Xbox 360进行播放。至于这款外接式的XSS系统道理也一样，玩家能用Xbox 360通过网线连接XSS系统，把视频数据存到XSS系统最大容量3TB的硬盘中。
目前，一台XSS系统售价1399美元（合人民币11286元）虽不便宜，但算起来每1GB容量的单位成本只有0.9美元，还是挺划算的。
SkipJam Corp., a leading provider of home automation and multimedia networking products announced today the SkipJam iMedia X-Stream Storage System (XSS), a low cost, flexible Network Attached Storage device. The iMedia XSS lets home and small office users connect the massive storage required by today's demanding media applications. Providing up to 3 Terabytes of storage each, and costing as little as $0.90 per Gigabyte at MSRP, the X-Stream System sets a new benchmark for price performance in home networking.
In another industry first, SkipJam has combined multiple server technologies in a single unit: SMB, DLNA, UPnP and Windows Media Connect compatible servers. These server interfaces allow the widest variety of digital media devices to locate content on the XSS automatically and without any PC or user involvement.
The XSS broad server support even includes support for Media Center Extender (MCE) devices such as the Xbox 360, and others which had previously required a Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition personal computer.
"This variety and breadth of server software support is not available in any other stand-alone network server," said Michael Spilo CEO of SkipJam Corp. "And continues SkipJam's commitment to supporting the broadest array of mixed analog and digital media configurations."
The SkipJam XSS is also fully compatible with SkipJam's own iMedia line of digital media players and hubs, and is automatically recognized by all SkipJam iMedia devices.
Configurations and Backup
The SkipJam XSS automatically self configures, allowing multiple XSS units on the same network without worry of name conflict. The XSS appears as a network drive to all Windows and Macintosh PCs, and can be managed through an easy to use web interface which allows users to configure and manage the massive storage, even remotely.
SkipJam's configuration tools allow users to split the storage for internal backup of the data, or to automatically mirror between XSS units, so that one unit can back up the other. In either configuration the mirroring is done during low network traffic periods so as not to interfere with multimedia or business operational performance.
Power Management
The SkipJam XSS includes automatic power management which spins down the unit's hard drives when not in use, increasing drive life and lowering power consumption. The XSS includes an "anticipatory" algorithm which allows the hard drives to spin back up in anticipation of user demand for maximum performance. This "heuristic" algorithm learns user habits and can for example spin up the drives at 8PM, anticipating prime time viewing.
Technology Details:
A high power NAS Device, the SkipJam iMedia XSS includes:
1 to 6 drive Raid 0-5 configurable disk array with up to 3 hot-swappable drives
AMD Duron processor
512MB of RAM,
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
Linux 2.4.30 operating system
SkipJam X-Stream Server Pack
SkipJam X-Stream Server Management Software
SkipJam iMedia Management and Tagging Software
SkipJam Browser Interface
430 Watt low noise power supply
Compact form factor suitable for home or small office use
Price and Availability
The iMedia XSS is available only directly from SkipJam in 3 configurations: 1.3TB priced at $1399, 2TB priced at $1799 and 3TB priced at $3299.. |
