High speed compact video recorder with image sensor resolutions and frame rates always advancing, digital video data rates continue to climb. The original DVR Express® Core was able to record video at data rates up to 680 MB/s, which was adequate for many but not all situations. With the new design advancements and ultra-fast solid state VidIO Drive Modules, the DVR Express Core 2 can record at data rates up to 1620 MB/s - more than twice the speed of its predecessor! This is matched to the maximum input rates of the Camera Link and SDI models, however some CoaXPress cameras may exceed this rate, in which case the DVR Express Core 2 MAX may be required.
