“The feedback that we received on the S2VR Duo, it’s design and myriad of features at both NAB in Las Vegas, and at Siggraph in Boston this year was absolutely phenomenal,” said Jon Schilling, Account Manager at CalDigit. ”We look forward to providing our customers with quality products that both work well and boost the productivity of their media productions.”

The S2VR Duo comes complete with the subsystem, intuitive GUI designed by CalDigit, password Protection, e-mail notification, HBA controller card, (PCI-e or PCI-x), driver CD, and an eSATA cable.
