Review Summary
The nanoFlash Bundle from Convergent Design records video, audio and timecode from an HD-SDI stream onto readily available CompactFlash (CF) cards, employing the high quality Sony 4:2:2 MPEG2 codec for compression. Boasting an incredibly small size and super low-power consumption, the nanoFlash stands poised to revolutionize the broadcast video industry. This camera-mountable device is a miniaturized version of the award-winning Flash XDR and has two CF card slots plus embedded audio support.
The nanoFlash can be powered from a camcorder battery (6.5-20VDC) or the included AC power supply and records 1080i60/50, 1080p30/25/24 or 720p60/50 at full raster 4:2:2 MPEG-2, at 50/100 Mbps (long GOP) or 100/160 Mbps (I-frame only). As both a recorder and player, the nanoFlash sports HD-SDI I/O as well as LTC in, wired remote control and a power/start/tally light connector. Along with the AC power supply, this bundle includes a hotshoe ball mount for mounting the nanoFlash to the top of your camera, a CompactFlash card reader and the requisite power and I/O cables.
