nanoFLASH

The nanoFlash from Convergent Design is the smallest, solid state HD/SD or HDMI recorder/player currently available. Recording to MXF or QuickTime format using 2 x CompactFlash cards, the nanoFlash can be mounted to a camera or connected to any HD-SDI source via BNC coax.

Audio levels are displayed on the LCD panel and the nanoFlash records up to 8 channels of quality audio embedded in the HD-SDI/HDMI stream. When ready to shoot, you can start and stop recording using the control buttons, your camcorder's record button or an external trigger. On completion, simply transfer the source files to your laptop editor using a Firewire-800 reader, drop the footage straight onto the timeline and edit while you continue to shoot. With no moving parts and low power consumption, the nanoFlash is ideal for use in extreme conditions.
