MTV, a unit of Viacom Inc., today announced the addition of two of the hottest West Coast hip hop acts to its performers’ line-up for MTV Music Evolution 2015 – Billboard Hot 100 hip hop artist, YG and award-winning DJ and producer, DJ Mustard, which currently includes Naughty by Nature, Gloc-9 and Abra. 

Both YG and DJ Mustard are touted to bring some of the hottest new sounds to the hip hop scene with their West Coast flavour. They are no stranger to each other, as DJ Mustard is also YG’s main producer and has executive produced YG’s album, “My Krazy Life”. The first edition of MTV Music Evolution will be YG’s and DJ Mustard’s first performance in Asia.

Additionally, MTV announced it will be inviting Manila-based graffiti artists, Chichi Monster, Nick Automatic, Egg Fiasco and Chill to share their interpretation of music and street culture on four giant 3D MTV logo structures on Friday, 24 April 2015 at Eastwood Mall, Quezon City.

Thereafter, the completed 3D MTV logo art installations will pop up across different city hotspots in Manila, such as The Collective, Glorietta 4 and Quezon City Circle as part of the build up to the MTV Music Evolution 2015, before making its final display at the MTV Music Evolution event.

New WD Purple NV 3.5-inch drives equipped for NVR Surveillance-system Environments

WD, a Western Digital company and storage industry leader, today introduced WD Purple NV, a purpose-built line of 3.5-inch, high-capacity 4 TB and 6 TB hard drives for the greater demands of scalable network video recorder (NVR) surveillance systems. 

Compared with standard WD Purple drives, the new member of the WD’s surveillance video recording family of drives, WD Purple NV, is designed for larger-scale network surveillance systems utilizing higher hard drive bay counts and greater numbers of attached cameras, which demand increased storage capacity and durability. The new drives’ high capacities also enable long video retention periods for analysis and reference. WD Purple NV is also designed to withstand the demands of always-on digital NVR recording environments. It offers low power consumption and many advanced performance features typically reserved for higher end surveillance storage.

“The global video surveillance market is expanding with the increased accessibility to easy-to-use systems for small businesses and municipalities,” said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president of HDD marketing at WD. “WD optimized the WD Purple NV line of hard drives for NVR digital surveillance systems to improve high-definition video playback for high-camera-count applications. NVR surveillance systems can produce incredible amounts of data which makes the WD Purple NV hard drives a perfect solution for NVR systems needing high quality recording and playback and high capacity storage.”
