CitiDISK™ HD - FireWire Edit Instantly! Plug into CitiDISK™ HD. Time is money. And since you can’t re-capture time, the CitiDISK™ HD is a highly effective tool, eliminating the time consuming process of re-capturing Panasonic DVCPRO HD®, DVCPRO50® and DV footage from HD camcorder tapes into non-linear editing (NLE) systems. CitiDISK™ HD is powerful, lightweight, portable and, with its internal rechargeable battery, connects directly to camcorders and captures footage to its miniature high-capacity hard drive and to tape simultaneously – directly from the camera's FireWire port into MXF files. When done shooting, set your camcorder to VCR mode to “QPLAY” the last scenes on the viewfinder or simply plug it into your computer’s FireWire port and edit/play directly on the digitized video at anytime.
Optimized For Panasonic DVCPRO HDR, DVCPRO50R & DV Video Professionals
With its small form-factor, high-capacity and rugged design, CitiDISK? HD is ideally suited for broadcast and video professionals in the field. Typical applications include event video, corporate video, weddings, ceremonies and other similar events.
Camera-Controlled Recording With Or Without Tape Records DV streams via camera's REC button with P2 card or tape inserted, or by CitiDISK™ HD's REC button without P2 card or tape.
Native Quicktime(MOV), AVI2 & Canopus AVI2 File Format Support Current firmware release does not support P2-MXF. User is able to upgrade the firmware once it is released. However, by choosing Quicktime( MOV ), or AVI2 or Canopus AVI2 saves the conversion time from "MXF to MOV", or "MXF to AVI2".
Quick Play Last Captured Scene and Play All Captured Scences “QPLAY” last captured DV streams on viewfinder when setting camera to VCR mode. Navigating history clips is also possible by press and holding the QPLAY button for 3 seconds. Note: Current firmware release does not support DVCPro HD 1080i or 720p video playback to viewfinder, such function will be added back later on. However, DVCPro50 and DVCPro playback function is supported.
Archive DV Tape Content Archives taped DV streams by pressing CitiDISK™ HD's REC button with camera in VCR mode. Video clips are stored as file format supported in pre-formatted FAT32 hard drive folders. Note: Current firmware release supports MOV and AVI2, will add MXF support back once it is release.
Multiple DVCPRO HDR, DVCPRO50R & DV Formats And Audio Sampling Rate Detection CitiDISK™ HD automatically detects incoming MiniDV/DVCam/DVCPROR (DV or DV25), DVCPRO50R or DVCPRO HDR (DV100) stream formats and 2-ch-16bit-48Khz/2-ch-16bit-44.1Khz/4-ch-12bit-32khz audio sampling rates, and provides record/playback in either format.
