Disguise GX2C Media Server
Description
The Disguise GX2C is a rack-mount media server configured for rental use, delivering multi-channel capture, high-quality 10-bit and HDR playback, and networked scalability. It balances live production I/O with workstation-class GPU performance to support demanding projection, broadcast, and immersive events.
Key Features
- High-performance GPU, rated at 38,433 Notchmarks, suitable for real-time playback and generative content.
- Multi-format outputs with 2x 4K outputs (HDMI 2.0 VFC cards fitted by default) capable of 10-bit playback.
- Flexible capture options, supporting up to two 4K@60fps sources or up to eight 3G-SDI 1080p60 sources for live feeds and multi-camera workflows.
- 10-bit and HDR support, including real-time colour profile management and conversion between HDR standards for accurate display matching.
- 4TB NVMe storage installed, enabling work with high-quality codecs and NotchLC assets without immediate external media.
- Networked workflows, with 2x 10GbE ports for fast content transfer and the ability to genlock and cluster multiple servers into a single distributed system.
- Swappable VFC output technology, allowing optional DisplayPort, Quad-DVI, or Quad-SDI cards to be fitted to meet project requirements and to mix signal formats when needed.
Use Cases
- Live broadcast and OB trucks requiring multiple SDI captures and low-latency processing.
- Concerts, touring events, and immersive installations that need synchronized playback across multiple servers.
- Rental scenarios where fast turn-up is needed: high-resolution playback, HDR display conversion, and on-board storage for tight timelines.
Included with your rental
- HDMI 2.0 VFC output cards installed to drive the 2x 4K outputs as standard.
- 4TB NVMe drive fitted, ready for high-bitrate media and NotchLC content.
- 2x 10GbE network interfaces available for content ingest and distribution.
- Default configuration supports 8x 3G-SDI inputs and genlock for multi-server setups; optional VFC output cards available on request.
This rental configuration is intended to provide a turnkey media server solution for temporary productions. Contact your rental coordinator to confirm optional output cards, cabling, and any additional configuration needed for your event.

- Playback with 2x 4K outputs, which are also 10-bit capable of pushing 38,433 Notchmarks.
- Capture up to two 4K sources at 60fps (2160p60); or up to eight 3G-SDI sources at 60fps (1080p60).
- The inputs are also 10-bit capable, with the same low latency as existing disguise pro and gx range machines.
- 4TB NVMe drive fitted freeing creatives to work with high quality codecs, including support for NotchLC.
- The gx 2c supports 10-bit content playback and 10-bit displays.
- Supports HDR content and provides a means of applying colour profiles. Consisting of a colour space and a gamma curve, users can set a colour profile to their content, or capture live video from HDR cameras and disguise performs a real-time conversion to the HDR display device - even changing between HDR standards.
- The workstation grade GPUs in all gx range machines allows users to genlock machines to form a bigger media server system with many servers working as one.
- 2x 10GbE network ports enabling fast content transfer.
- The gx 2c ships standard with HDMI 2.0 VFC output cards to drive 2x 4K outputs from one machine.
- The swappable VFC technology future proofs the investment as users can output DisplayPort, Quad-DVI or Quad-SDI by fitting the optional VFC cards, as well as mixing signal formats and resolution types in the same project.
