The Omneon 5000 series Multichannel SD MediaPorts provide record and play of SD video and digital audio, compressing it for storage on the Omneon Spectrum Video Server and the Omneon MediaDeck using a variety of industry-standard compression formats. The MIP-5001 and MIP-5002 are supplied in their own enclosure and connect to the server by external cabling. The MDM-5001 plugs directly into one of the two accessory slots of the MediaDeck, which supplies power, reference, and data via the backplane connector.
