The Amazing Cinedeck RX

Cinedeck is an extremely capable, upgradeable, highly rugged, portable, direct-to-disk video recorder designed and built by cinematographers for cinematographers. Have you ever seen one? They’re AWESOME! Announced at IBC 2011, Cinedeck subsequently won Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit award – which was sweetness for such a nice piece of equipment! But I shouldn’t just call it that – because it is so much MORE!

Designed for the rigors of field production with travelling light in mind, this one piece of gear will eliminate several others! Footage is immediately ready for editing in Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, and GV Edius. It even captures stereoscopic 3D via HDSDI or HDMI!

With two models available – Cinedeck EX is the world’s first and most versatile, cinema-grade, camera-mountable, recording, monitoring, and playback device and Cinedeck RX with all the versatility of the original Cinedeck EX but designed into a rack-mountable configuration with added features to meet the needs of production facilities and OB production. Cinedeck RX is the unit to have, though.

Cinedeck RX offers unsurpassed codec choice, flexible connectivity, and ground breaking production versatility presented in a simple and elegant user interface. Designed for the mobile production environment, where space is at a premium and cooling and power draw are of utmost importance, the rugged milled aluminum case is built for the rigors of the road. Cinedeck RX systems can be managed from any PC or via a browser with no additional hardware requirements with the ability to remotely record, playback, fast forward and rewind multiple Cinedeck RX units in sync, making the controller application a centralized point of control and management for any facility or OB setting. Monitor video in realtime with the high-resolution 7″ display while using an array of onscreen image analysis tools such as edge focus, clipping, waveform, vectorscope and histogram to seize perfect control of the recorded images and create productions you never thought possible!

But don’t take my word for this – take Cinedeck’s … Founded by cinematographers in the heart of New York City, Cinedeck is redefining mobile, digital cinematography by delivering the industry’s first extremely portable, affordable camera-mountable cinema-grade recording and monitoring device, Cinedeck EXTREME. Cinedeck has been honored with the “2010 TV Technology STAR Award”, the “2010 Vidy Award,” and DV Magazine’s “Award of Excellence.”

“When we launched Cinedeck, we set out to change the way cinematographers created their art. Today, we’re doing that all over again for the mobile broadcaster,” said Alan Hoff, CEO of Cinedeck. “The world of mobile broadcasting has reached a cross roads; the technology that has traditionally served them has reached obsolescence. Cinedeck RX extends the versatility of Cinedeck EXTREME to the mobile broadcaster, solving their greatest challenges and simplifying their production workflow exponentially.”

Sure, MSRP is $15K – but it is well worth the price and will become your most indispensable asset. I can’t say enough about the Cinedeck, so I ask that you take a look at their website! You are going to see an option or feature that I didn’t mention, because they are just so loaded with them! The award-winning Cinedeck. You NEED one of these!!!
