TerraWave TWR-1200 Hot-Swappable RAID Solution
Reliability
The Terra Wave video server includes features that are unmatched in the industry. Both software and hardware incorporate watchdog-monitoring systems. In the unlikely event the server halts, the watchdog reboots the computer restoring normal operation. No more manual resets or lost revenue on make-goods. Simple access to the Terra Wave provides ease of service and minimal downtime. 

Texscan's Hot Swappable RAID array solution provides the best possible performance. It is also cost effective for critical and high performance systems. 

Spot Distribution
Downloading of spots is as easy as inserting a CD, DVD, or JAZZ disk. Distribution may also be by LAN, WAN, internet or satellite. Spots may be distributed directly over satellite to each head end. 
Modular Design
Terra Wave is composed of off-the-shelf components. This open architecture enables Texscan MSI to customize digital video playback to meet specific requirements. 

Texscan's MPEG2 decoder plug-in cards can be mixed and matched to configure a number of independently controlled digital MPEG2 program streams. Each program stream has a play list that can be programmed according to a pre-determined schedule. 

Cost
Texscan MSI has a unique blend of technology. Our open architecture hardware delivers the most cost effective and highest quality products available.
