REV PRO TECHNICAL GUIDE
REV PRO™media and drives are specifically designed
and developed to meet the requirements of video pro-
fessionals and their desire to migrate to a complete file-
based workflow. REV PRO’s revolutionary Removable
Rigid Disk (RRD) technology combines the benefits of
hard drive technology (speed, reliability, and non-linear
access) with videotape (portability, ease of use, and low
cost). The end result is an extremely durable and reliable
medium, fully supporting professional video workflows.
REV PRO media provide fast random access to video
clips. Files can be edited and moved around easily—just
like a hard drive. REV PRO media are well suited for
high-speed data transfers and perfect for true HD acqui-
sition and editing. Its enhanced multi-segment caching
delivers dual-stream performance to allow for simultane-
ous read and write access. REV PRO is ideally suited for
everyday video, graphics, and/or rigorous field produc-
tion applications. It is a medium that is flexible and can
be readily re-purposed in any file-based workflow. There
are currently two lines of REV PRO media and drives:
The REV PRO 35 line and the REV PRO XP/ER line.
REV PRO combines the best of both worlds: the portability and
ease of use of tape, with the non-linear access capabilities of
hard drives.
REV PRO provides dual stream performance for
simultaneous record and playback or real-time cross
dissolves in editing environments.

Record Time Comparison of Common SD/HD Data Rates on REV PRO Media
Storage Capacity
REV PRO media have the storage capacity of up to
80 minutes of HD and up to 4 hours of SD material,
depending on the chosen codec and bit rate. High
performance, sustained data rates allow for real-time
record/play capability directly from the media. REV PRO
allows users to record and play back two simultaneous
HD streams with enough added bandwidth for audio and
metadata.
Durability
REV PRO media use standard 2.5-inch laptop hard drive
components, but are engineered for much greater dura-
bility and reliability by placing only the magnetic medium
and motor within the removable cartridge and adding
additional redundancy to the medium. The drive’s heads
and electronics remain in the drive assembly.
The media can be used in harsh environments and are
resistant to damage within extreme operating tempera-
tures, dust, wind, moisture, high altitudes, shock, and
vibration. The Grass Valley™Digital Media Camcorder
(DMC) and Digital Media Recorder (DMR) protect the
media even beyond this level.
The disk and drive have been designed to perform a
greater number of insertions than any other type of
removable media. Additionally, each disk can perform
over one million record/erase cycles without failure.

REV PRO TECHNICAL GUIDE
Contamination Control
REV PRO removable hard drive-based media have been
designed with a comprehensive set of tools that control
and mitigate the effects of contamination. The result
of extensive research and practical testing led to the
development of a simple contamination strategy for REV
PRO: start clean, stay clean.
REV PRO employs a unique, patented labyrinth-type
design, which features multiple seals for a very effec-
tive barrier to outside contaminants such as airborne
particulates, gasses, and corrosion. A unique two-stage
shutter mechanism does not open until the disk is com-
pletely seated in the drive. This start-clean, stay-clean
mechanism is designed to keep the heads and media in
a virtual clean room environment.
REV PRO incorporates a charcoal desiccant inside each
cartridge to provide additional protection from mois-
ture, corrosion, and out-gassing. Advanced filtration,
automatic head cleaning, and robust two-stage error
correction are employed to ensure high data integrity
and reliability. The media design also includes a robust
recirculation filter on each cartridge to filter the air inside
the cartridge each time the disk spins, effectively remov-
ing any airborne contaminants that made it past the
cartridge seal.
As a comparison, videotape and optical disks are open
media with few safeguards against exposure to outside
elements that can contaminate or optically block record-
ing heads and erode stored media.

REV PRO TECHNICAL GUIDE
Guaranteed Archival Lifespan
The REV PRO media long-term archival rating is speci-
fied to over 30 years. The engineers designed RRD tech-
nology to ensure long shelf life by identifying the causes
of long-term media degradation and engineered REV
PRO to minimize those specific effects. Normal factors
of long-term media degradation include thermal stability,
self-demagnetization, media corrosion, motor or connec-
tor failure, particulate infiltration, contamination, out-gas-
sing, and adhesive breakdown. All of these factors have
been addressed and dealt with for REV PRO.
To prevent issues of adhesive breakdown, REV PRO car-
tridges use only high-quality, HDD-approved adhesives
for mounting the internal desiccant and filter inside the
cartridge housing. The adhesive is rated for continuous
80ºC (176ºF) conditions.
Unlike REV PRO media, videotape can deteriorate rap-
idly over time as a result of exposure to oxygen, atmo-
spheric moisture, and heat—a process called hydrolysis.
