Convergent Design FLASH-XDR

Unlock your camera’s full video-quality potential and break-through the limitations of low bit-rate 3:1:1 / 4:2:0 sub-sampled (1440x1080) recording. Unlike FireWire recording drives, which provide no quality improvement. 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). It virtually eliminates motion-artifacts, mosquito-noise and keying problems. Superb 24-bit uncompressed audio (mic or line input) complements the stunning video. Its cmera-mountable, low-power, all solid-state design utilizes affordable Compact Flash media to provide 2.4hrs 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. High-speed transfers possible via USB, Express card, or Firewire800. Additional features include 24p pulldown removal, time-lapse recording and automatic backups (RAID1).
