ZEPLAY Unit

A single unit can store up to 160 hours of HD footage (40 hours per channel), all enclosed in a 4RU, 21" deep chassis, which is perfect for flypacks and mobile production. ZEPLAY also provides you with macro programmable GPI inputs and outputs so you can run tally and integrate with your existing production system.

Check out the latest and greatest features ZEPLAY has to offer:

4x4 Replays

ZEPLAY is always recording four angles of action, while it is also playing them back through its four dedicated HD/SD SDI video outputs. Your camera ops had better be ready, because you aren’t going to miss a frame of the action and the built-for-speed workflow means more of it is going on the air.

Built-in Multi-viewer

No need for dedicated monitors for the replay operator. ZEPLAY’s interface shows what’s coming in and going out.

Dedicated Controller

ZEPLAY’s controller is built for replays, with a tactile jog/shuttle wheel and 20 quick-tag keys to mark plays in an instant.

Clip Melt/Export

Export clips during the game and while ZEPLAY is recording with DVCPRO/50/HD or native MPEG-2 I-Frame for archival purposes. Round-trip into AVID or Final Cut and back to ZEPLAY without transcoding.

Sequences

ZEPLAY's sophisticated, realtime playlist creation tool allows you to trim your plays, arrange them in a timeline, and even toggle between angles with a simple click of the button.

Built-in Switcher

With four outputs, the TD can see everything at once! If you need an extra hand or lack the router capacity, ZEPLAY’s operator can control the angle using the system’s built-in 4x1 switcher.

Broadcast Quality

ZEPLAY records and plays I-Frame only MPEG-2 video at 100mbps (HD) and 4:2:2 color space. Slow motion is always smooth with adjustable frame-blending.

International Support

ZEPLAY supports international video formats and power standards.

Broadcast Ready

ZEPLAY includes redundant power and RAID. The system recovers from total power loss without losing existing game information. Unstable video on any input is gracefully handled, keeping everything in time and without dropping the record.

Tagging and Marking

ZEPLAY features tagging and key play marking for quick filtering and recall of the action.

Play Bar

ZEPLAY’s play bar gives you a graphical view of the action so you always know where you are at within the game.

Independent Angle Control

Any output can be controlled independently. Two angles can roll together for a split view while the other two channels wait at the start of the play for the next view.
