The cost?
The hardware required for an ‘Ingex’ recorder capable of recording four SDI inputs each with four audio channels and including 80 track-hours of storage currently costs €10 000. An HD version can be configured by using HD capable SDI capture cards, but with two cards rather than four in each PC. We estimate that a two-channel HD version would cost €15 000.

The MediaHarmony server, equipped with 20 TBytes of storage (which is sufficient for about 800 hours of content), currently costs in the region of €15 000.

We are making the software for both of these available as open source. For further details see ingex.sourceforge.net.
