On-Board Selectable Compression
Infinity Series products provide a choice of compression schemes and bit rates, letting you select what is best for your workflow today and in the future. The DMR supports DV25, JPEG 2000, and MPEG-2 (certain models) compression, assignable via its interface.
The recorder???s DV codec is 25 Mb/s 4:2:0 (PAL) or 4:1:1 (NTSC), making it ideal for immediate use in your SD workflow today.
The next-generation JPEG 2000 compression scheme can be used for SD and HD acquisition. It provides, high-efficiency compression, 10-bit 4:2:2 encoding, high image quality, and no blocking artifacts???and is fully scalable through its ability to encode once and decode many different resolutions as needed.
High-Quality Audio Recording
The Infinity Series DMR records uncompressed, real-time, high-quality, four-channel audio, and offers mixture of four selectable analog and digital input sources. It features AES/EBU inputs and outputs for external audio device connectivity.
IT-Based Recording Media
Professional-grade CompactFlash memory is a readily available solid- state technology that delivers high-level performance for demanding professional video applications. CompactFlash cards are small, lightweight, and extremely durable. They are available in various capacities from dealers worldwide
and trends indicate that their storage capacities will continue to increase while their costs decrease.
Both REV PRO and CompactFlash media offer unprecedented advantages in terms of usability, price, and performance, including nonlinear random access to video files, simultaneous playback while recording, and non-degrading archival storage.
Ultimate Connectivity
The Infinity Series DMR offers the ultimate in connectivity. Its traditional inputs/outputs include BNC connectors for (HD-)SDI, CVBS, TC, and AES digital audio???as well as XLRs for analog audio.
For IT-based connectivity, this unit comes with two USB 2.0 connectors, one FireWire (IEEE 1394) connector, one HDMI display connector, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. It can also connect to an external storage device such as a hard drive or flash memory device via USB or FireWire. You can connect standard display devices, such as HD flat-screen monitors, via the HDMI connector.
Touch-Screen, Wireless Control
You can manipulate the Infinity Series DMR through traditional controls for standard operation and through a TFT touch-screen display. A built-in user interface supports video monitoring, clip management, audio setup and metering, and detailed configuration.
You can also use our optional LCP 400 software to control the DMR 1000. Running on a Windows Mobile PDA or Pocket PC Phone, it gives you access to menus and settings. It displays audio levels and, thanks to its extremely low
latency, lets you make critical adjustments to audio parameters such as gain. And you can create and edit metadata such
as names, dates, slugs, locations, and other settings before, during, or after the recording. It can also be used to remotely start and stop recordings.
Compact, Portable Design
Performing anytime, anywhere, and under all circumstances has been one of the main design objectives for the Infinity Series DMR. As a result, it is well balanced, easy to handle, and offers a high level of mobility inside and outside.
With its feature set and connectivity capabilities, the DMR eliminates the need for additional IT peripherals and reduces your travel volume and operational weight requirements. Dedicated accessories such as a field
case and a shelf mount kit for ???grab and go??? installation are available.
The Infinity Series DMR is a portable field unit that uses off-the-shelf Iomega REV removable disks, Thomson Grass Valley REV PRO, and professional-grade CompactFlash solid-state memory as recording and playback media. The extremely durable REV PRO removable disks come in three varieties. The basic REV PRO 35* combines the portability, ease of use, and low cost of videotape, with the nonlinear, high- speed access of a hard drive. REV PRO XP, for eXtra Performance, supports high-performance ingest (more than 2X real-time). And REV PRO ER provides Extended Recording time.
*REV PRO 35 disks can be used in the DMR 1000 for SD record/play or HD playback only.
