Nexto Brings Out Portable 750GB Storage Device for Memory Cards

At Broadcast Video Expo (BVE) 2012, Nexto DI UK Ltd demonstrated the Video Storage Pro+ NVS-2525.

Nexto DI has developed an improved secure and faster storage device for camcorder users who records on SxS & P2 solid-state media.

The Video Storage Pro+ NVS2525 backs up a 32GB SxS or P2 card in seven minutes, at up to 80MB per second. It then performs verification, comparing the file on the card to the file on the hard disk to make sure the data is copied accurately (verification speed up to 86MB per second).

It allows users to plug in a second eSATAp (or USB) hard drive to simultaneously writes onto internal and external hard drives at the same time for two identical copies without needing a laptop. It can also burn back-up folders to a Blu-ray drive.

For reviewing footage as thumbnails or to preview video clips to boost your confidence in data safety, the NVS2525 has an LCD screen and can preview XDCAM EX or many other formats including Convergent Design nanoFlash files, HDV and most Panasonic DVCPro, AVCHD and AVC-Intra files.

At the end of each backup, the device automatically generates an HTML-based index file containing a decoded frame and metadata that can be viewed in any web browser.
