A standard DCRsi data interface is provided for compatibility with existing installations and a dubbing facility allows data to be transferred straight to the company's wide range of mass storage DIS/DST mass-sto rage devices, tape libraries and computer interfaces.
For example, Ampex offers its FASTdisk RAID-3 recorders as a direct replacement for its DCRsi digital cartridge tape recorder.
Owners of later-generation DCRsi and ID-1 systems can perhaps afford to take a longer-term view, and it is anticipated that sales of these units will continue for the foreseeable future.
