Ampex DDRS-400 Brochure

The DDRs 400 Digital Data Recorder is

Ampex Data Systems

Removable Module

designed for airborne applications requiring
high data rate and storage capacity.

A hermetically sealed module enables the Recorder to
operate at high altitude and provides protection from
moisture and dust. A standard DCRsi interface provides
plug compatibility in existing DCRsi installations. Small
size and low power consumption makes this recorder an
ideal choice. Data downloading direct to DIS or DCRsi
Recorders facilitates archiving of data in Automated
Libraries.

Direct ethernet connection also available.
