Snell Alchemist OD Turnkey Solutions Released

Snell announced today that its Alchemist OD format and framerate converter is now available as a choice of fully configured, Snell-supported turnkey solutions, as well as continuing to be available as software-only. 

The new turnkey systems combine Snell’s media processing software with carefully selected, state-of-the-art hardware.  

There are two choices of hardware configurations for Alchemist OD — professional and enterprise. The professional package uses high-performance commodity components to create a cost-effective conversion solution for standard use; the enterprise package incorporates enterprise-grade components for heavy 24/7 usage, including data center applications.

With additional features such as ECC memory, redundant power supplies and increased CPU processing power as well as the option to install a high speed host bus adapter, the enterprise solution enables fast connectivity to remote NAS/SAN storage.

Both systems are delivered in a versatile 4U chassis and come with Windows Server 2012, enabling support for the Apple ProRes family of codecs.

Alchemist OD turnkey solutions can be purchased via the worldwide Snell sales and reseller network or direct from the Snell online store website.
