Flash XDR Tapeless HD-SDI Recorder for POV, HDV, XDCAM and HDCAM Cameras

Overview

Break-through the limitations of low bit-rate 3:1:1 / 4:2:0 sub-sampled (1440x1080) recording and unlock your camera’s full video-quality potential.
Unlike Firewire recording drives, which provide no quality improvement whatsoever, Flash XDR captures the never-compressed HD-SDI output using a world-class 4:2:2 full-raster (1920x1080i/p) MPEG2 CODEC at bit-rates up to 160 Mbps (4X to 6X that of HDV).
Flash XDR virtually eliminates motion-artifacts, mosquito-noise and keying problems. Superb 24-bit uncompressed audio (mic or line input) complements
the stunning video.
The camera-mountable, low-power, all solid-state design utilizes affordable CompactFlash media to provide 2.4 hours recording time (160 Mbps) using four 48 GB cards! Industry standard MXF file format ensures easy transfer to leading NLE programs with all the benefits of a tapeless workflow, including fast downloads and metadata support. Additional features include 24p pulldown removal, time-lapse recording and automatic backups (RAID1).
