Video Devices PIX 250i Rackmount Video Recorder Kit

Overview: Extensive Video I/O The video input on the PIX 250i has extensive compatibility with a wide range of cameras It's BNC input accepts 12-bit 3G SDI (4:4:4 RGB or YCbCr), HD-SDI, SDI.

Its HDMI input accepts high-definition and standard-definition video With its 3G-SDI 4:4:4 input, recording to ProRes 4444 offers recordings that are perceptually indistinguishable from the original source material.

Timecode Generator The on-board high-accuracy Ambient timecode generator makes the PIX 250i right at home on any production from simple single camera shoots, to complex multi-camera sync-sound productions All common timecode frame rates and modes are supported.

Embedded timecode over SDI and HDMI is also supported Frame Rate Converter and Scaler Like the PIX 270i, the PIX 250i features a powerful hardware scaler and frame rate converter.

Up, down, cross-conversion and pulldown removal give users the ability to record files in a customer-requested rate, even rates not supported by the camera The camera-mount PIX 240i video recorder also supports aspect ratio conversion, HD to SD and SD to HD.

Time Saving Efficiency Tapeless file-based recording, playback, and file transfer Access and transfer files over Ethernet.
