Conduant Offers LTX2-35 High Speed Data Recorder for 3.5-in. Drives

By DE Editors

Conduant Corporation (Longmont, CO), developer of direct-to-disk, long duration recording and playback systems, introduced its Big River LTX2-35 data recorder, which is ruggedized for remote or portable applications and accommodates 3.5-in. hard drives, sealed drives, or solid-state drives for greater flexibility.

The Big River LTX2-35 provides more than 500MBps (4Gbps) recording and playback performance in a space, weight, and power efficient package. It can operate as a standalone system with network control or can be directly connected to a host computer via its StarFabric PCI bridge interface. Base pricing for the Big River LTX2-35 starts at around $34,000 for a 4TB system.

The 2U (3.5-in.) high-chassis accepts 16 3.5-in. disk drives, for up to 16TB of storage capacity. The user may choose lower-cost, high-performance rotating disk storage or solid-state drives for more environmental tolerance such as shock, vibration, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure, depending on the application.

The Big River LTX2-35 is based on Conduant's StreamStor Amazon architecture and LTX2 small form factor recorder, which supports a wide variety of external, interchangeable interface mezzanine cards including FPDP, FPDP2, LVDS, Serial FPDP, and Camera Link. Command and control functions can be performed through the StarFabric interface or through an Ethernet connection. Connectivity to a host computer using the StarFabric interface provides full PCI performance for data retrieval.

Operating from a DC power source of 24-28 volts standard input, the Big River LTX2-35 can operate independently from a host computer over an Ethernet connection. Software applications can also utilize the StreamStor application program interface (API) from a network connected host computer for control of the device from a remote location.
