LONDON – Built with bigger, more complex and content-heavy shows in mind, d3 Technologies says its new server, the d3 4x4pro, can replace four standard media servers. Next to DXV, d3 now also supports HAP and the high-fidelity HAP-Q content. It can play 32 layers of HD (DXV/HAP) with canvas sizes up to 16K pixels across, or up to eight layers of lossless QuickTime animation, and with its twin 10Gbit/sec ethernet connections, it can transfer huge files in minutes rather than hours.

LONDON – d3 Technologies are now shipping their two new servers, the d3 4x4pro and the d3 4x2pro, together forming the d3 pro range. These servers are a big step up in show delivery, made to ensure that the requirements of tomorrow’s shows are met with the confidence and power you need.
d3 4x4pro
The flagship of the pro range, the d3 4x4pro sets a new industry standard for power, convenience and flexibility. It can Push Every Pixel™ over four 4K outputs, or sixteen HD outputs. This means one d3 4x4pro can replace four market standard media servers that have four outputs each. Push Every Pixel™ is d3 Technologies’ benchmark for the playback power needed by video professionals, meaning a machine has enough power to fill every physical pixel of its outputs with at least two simultaneous layers of content without breaking a sweat.
More Content, Faster Media Transfer
The d3 4x4pro has been built with bigger, more complex and content heavy shows in mind. Next to DXV, d3 now also supports HAP and the high-fidelity HAP-Q content. You can play 32 layers of HD (DXV/HAP) with canvas sizes up to 16K pixels across, or up to eight layers of lossless QuickTime animation. With its twin 10Gbit/sec ethernet connections, you can transfer huge files in minutes rather than hours, and with four ruggedised RAID0 hard drives you’ll have all the speed and capacity you need.
d3 4x2pro
Built with the same DNA as its bigger brother, the d3 4x2pro has the same aluminium and steel ruggedised chassis as the d3 4x4pro. They also share military-grade SSD enclosures, an OLED front panel to indicate machine name and status, and a handy backpanel light. A strong midrange server, it has enough power to drive its four DVI-D outputs at 2560×1600 and will Push Every Pixel™ up to 16 HD layers of DXV/HAP.
The d3 4x2pro has a single 10Gbit/sec ethernet connection. A robust solution for touring multi-projector shows, theatre productions and corporate events, the d3 4x2pro will cater for mid-sized shows for years to come. Both pro range systems come packed with the latest release of d3 software (r11.2), and are backwards compatible in any formation with the d3 4U v2.5.
