Video Devices PIX 270i Rackmount Video Recorder

Overview: Frame Rate Converter and Scaler The PIX 270i 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 Timecode Generator The on-board high-accuracy Ambient timecode generator makes the PIX 270i 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.

Extensive Video I/O The video input on the PIX 270i 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.

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

Edit-ready Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD files Recording on up to four drives provides immediate file copies and back up, as well as long-form recording.

Expandable and Networkable Group control of multiple PIX recorders facilitates multi-camera recording Frame synchronized recording and playback.
