Convergent Design Flash XDR Portable HD/SD Recorder/Player

This rugged, portable device captures 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 (6X HDV), or I-Frame Only bit-rates up to 220 Mbps.

It virtually eliminates motion-artifacts, mosquito-noise and keying problems. Superb 24-bit uncompressed audio, with user selectable embedded or external mic/line inputs, complements the stunning video.

The solid state, low-power, fanless design utilizes affordable CompactFlash media to provide 2.4 hours recording time at 100 Mbps using four low cost 32 GB cards. Industry standard Quicktime and MXF file formats ensure easy transfer to leading NLE programs with all the benefits of a tapeless workflow, including instant review, fast downloads and metadata support.
