- Dual HDMI display outputs: HDMI 1 at 4K (3840×2160, 30Hz) + HDMI 2 at 1080p (1920×1080, 60Hz)
- Up to 36-division multi-screen clone mode on primary display
- RAID 5 & 6 support with Automatic Recovery Backup for data integrity
- Dual stream recording with WiseStream bandwidth optimization
- Fisheye dewarping support for panoramic cameras
Recording & Storage Performance
The PRN-3200B4-48TB distributes recording loads efficiently across its 32 channels with configurable bandwidth allocation. Distributed mode achieves 400 Mbps aggregate throughput, while standard and RAID configurations deliver 150–320 Mbps depending on redundancy requirements. WiseStream dual-stream technology reduces storage consumption without sacrificing image quality, making it ideal for continuous archival scenarios.
Storage reliability is ensured through enterprise-grade RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations with Automatic Recovery Backup, protecting against drive failures while maintaining full operational capacity. The 48TB capacity supports extended retention periods for compliance-heavy deployments.
Display & Resolution Capabilities
Dual HDMI outputs provide flexible monitoring arrangements: 4K resolution on the primary display supports up to 36-division layouts for comprehensive live-view surveillance, while the secondary 1080p output handles up to 16-division layouts. Playback performance scales across resolutions—32MP at 15 fps (H.265), 12MP at 30 fps, and up to 960 fps at 720p for forensic analysis and fast-motion review.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise data centers and server farms
- Large-scale retail and shopping center networks
- Transportation hubs and logistics facilities
- Government and municipal surveillance infrastructure
- Critical infrastructure and utility monitoring
- Security integration projects requiring high-capacity, scalable solutions
