High‑performance professional media server with modular I/O, powerful GPU decoding and support for 8K and multi‑4K playback, with flight case and single graphics card

The X400(G1) is a high-end media server designed for large-scale applications requiring high performance, absolute stability, and the flexibility of a modular design. Equipped with the latest-generation Intel processor, server-class motherboard, and high-performance GPU, the system can drive up to four 4K outputs or 16 × 2K outputs from a single chassis, providing processing power suitable for complex events, immersive installations, and live productions where operational continuity is essential.

Thanks to the GPU's hardware decoding capabilities, the X400(G1) supports smooth 8K @ 60 fps playback and simultaneous management of multiple 4K @ 60 fps streams, with extended compatibility for major professional video formats, including H.264, H.265, ProRes, AV1, VP9, ​​HAP, and many others.

The modular design with 2 input slots and 4 output slots allows the server to be freely configured with HDMI 2.0, 12G SDI, DP 1.2 cards, and Genlock/Framelock synchronization modules, adapting it to any professional video infrastructure. The plug-in design makes it easy to upgrade, replace, and add to systems directly in the field.

The system is designed for maximum reliability thanks to dual SSDs with dual operating systems, redundant power supplies, frame sync, seamless switching, and advanced diagnostics.

The X400(G1) integrates the latest version of Pilot MS3 Pro software, an advanced platform for multimedia playback, timeline management, edge blending, geometric corrections, complex mapping, slicing and control of ultra-wide content. The graphical interface allows operation in live or pre-edit mode, with unlimited layers, multiple programs and dedicated tools for managing complex scenarios and multi-projection displays.

The device comes with a flight case and a single graphics card.

Optional I/O cards: max. 1 input, up to 4 outputs.
