ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Polecam has unveiled the nanoFlash, an addition to its range of portable video-production equipment. Capable of operating in HD or SD direct

to dual Compact Flash solid-state cards, it can be attached to a Polecam rig or mounted directly onto a camera. It can also be connected to any HD-SDI source via BNC coax.

“The nanoFlash is the perfect solution for truly portable digital film, HD and SD video origination,” said Polecam founder and managing director Steffan Hewitt. “Both the recorder and its Compact Flash storage media are very competitive in comparison with traditional tape-based video recorders. Measuring only 107 x 94 x 36mm and weighing just 400g, it creates digital files for fast transfer to industry-standard editing software such as Final Cut Pro, Avid and Premiere. Beside its very small size and low weight, the nanoFlash consumes one-tenth the power of a typical hard-disk drive and has practically zero maintenance cost.

“The nanoFlash has the extra advantage of being ideal for use in extremes of vibration, temperature and humidity: there is no scanner to get stuck, no tape to tangle and no disk mechanism to crash. And operation is absolutely silent.”

“Up to two hours and 40 minutes of 50Mbps of video can be accommodated on a pair of 32GB Compact Flash cards,” added Mel Noonan, Polecam’s Sales & Marketing director. “Coming soon will be the ability for operators to hot-swap Compact Flash cards seamlessly which will provide effectively limitless recording time. An LCD display on the front panel shows the remaining storage capacity on each card as well as the total available recording time.

“Two or more nanoFlash recorders can be genlocked for easy 3D or multicam recording. Additional features include the ability to start/stop multiple nano-Flash recorders or players from a single command.”
