About Shining Technology CFR
Shining Technology's CitiDISK CFR is an external video capture device designed to record footage directly to the included 64GB 533x CompactFlash card. While shooting with any FireWire-enabled camcorder, you can capture video directly to this rugged but lightweight solid-state recorder, as either a QuickTime or AVI2 file and even record simultaneously to tape for archiving and backup purposes.
These files can then be easily transferred to a nonlinear editing system, saving you the time-consuming effort of capturing or digitizing footage after the fact. And with its ability to automatically detect which file format is being ingested--whether DV, HDV, DVCam, DVCPro/HD or P2--the CitiDISK CFR is sure to bring new levels of ease to your production.
