Convergent Design announces Flash XDR™
the First CompactFlash® based HD Field Recorder
(Colorado Springs, CO, 28-Aug-07) Convergent Design announced today Flash
XDR (Xstream Data Recorder), the first CompactFlash based ultra-portable
HD field recorder. Flash XDR features HD-SDI (with embedded audio and
time-code), 1394, LTC (time-code), and ASI (MPEG2 over SDI) I/O, 4-Channel
AES inputs as well as two CompactFlash card slots in a lightweight,
battery-powered box. The innovative design utilizes scalable HD MPEG2
compression to capture video at HDV, XDCAM® HD, or 50 Mbps 4:2:2
data-rates. Flash XDR carries a list price of US $4995.
Portability and Affordability ReDefined
Flash XDR redefines portability and affordability in HD field recorders.
By utilizing MPEG2 encoder / decoder technology combined with CompactFlash
storage, Convergent Design has substantially reduced the weight (2 kg),
power (8 watts), size (127x89x165 mm), noise (no fans) and cost compared
to disk-drive or tape based recorders. The low-power, compact design makes
it easy to carry Flash XDR on any shoot and enjoy a full-day of
battery-powered operation. The rugged, all solid-state construction allows
use in extreme conditions, (such as helicopters, back-packs, and
race-cars), where traditional disk or tape based systems would fail.
Innovative CompactFlash Based Design
Compactflash is now an ideal storage media for an HD field recorder.
CompactFlash is an industry-standard memory, widely available, offering 2X
the performance and 1/3 the cost (16GB &#8776; US $300) of proprietary
flash-based cards. CompactFlash is hot-swappable, highly-reliable, and
100% solid-state; so there are no heads to crash, tapes to jam, or
drop-outs. Very low power consumption (5% of disk drives), combined with
long-life (10K insertions/removals, 100K read-write cycles) and
price-parity with HDV Firewire drives (on a GB basis) make CompactFlash an
attractive media. Capacities are ever increasing, with 16 GByte cards (69
minutes of 1080i HDV storage) readily available today and 32 / 64 GB cards
expected in the near future. Finally, a Firewire-800 based reader
(included with Flash XDR) supports 340 Mbps file-based transfers, so an
hour of HDV (1080i) footage can be transferred to a laptop editor in under
six minutes!
"Edit While You Shoot" in 50 Mbps 4:2:2 MPEG2 HD Quality
Flash XDR writes video footage to CompactFlash in either QuickTime® or
m2t file formats. When one of the two hot-swappable Compactflash cards is
filled, Flash XDR automatically starts recording to the 2nd card. Editors
can then eject the first card; quickly transfer the video (using the
Firwire-800 reader) and edit while continuing to shoot. Now your laptop
can be productively used as an editing tool, avoiding the lengthy ingest
from the old Firewire direct-to-laptop capture method.
You are no longer limited to just HDV data-rates; dial down the
compression and select XDCAM HD (35 Mbps) or 50Mbps 4:2:2 (422P@HL),
full-raster 1920x1080 / 1280x720p video with up to 4-channels of
uncompressed 16-bit 48Khz audio. In addition to the standard 1080i/p and
720p formats, you can also utilize 1080p23.98, perfect for digital
cinematography. The high-quality Sony MPEG2 CODEC employed in Flash XDR
enables selectable bit-rates, so you can match your rate to the job
requirements. Non-proprietary, industry-standard MPEG2 means you have a
wide range of editing and transmission options.
Numerous Applications
Light weight, portability, and low-power consumption combined with HD-SDI,
ASI and 1394 connectivity, as well as CompactFlash storage open up a wide
range of applications for Flash XDR. Live-event capture off an HD-SDI
switcher, satellite uplink via the ASI output, pool-feed recorder from a
news event, and off-line editing of a high-end HD production (HDCAM® SR)
are but a few of the many applications. Flash XDR works with virtually any
HD-SDI source and is a perfect choice for pole-cams, sports, ENG, EFP,
houses of worship, medical, helmet cameras, post-production, etc.
Flash XDR breaks new ground in portability, affordability and usability in
field HD Recorders. The innovative use of CompactFlash and high-quality HD
MPEG2 compression greatly reduces the weight, power, size, and cost while
providing high-quality video which can be quickly transferred to a laptop
editor. The rugged, all solid-state construction opens up previously
unrealized applications in extreme environments.
