FFV intros Elite HD; taps into JPEG2000 codec

The Elite HD, the first camera-mounted digital video recorder (DVR) and player to use the JPEG 2000 (J2K) compression codec for recording HD-SDI video signals, will be on display at Fast Forward Video’s NAB booth.

Designed to mount on the back or base of a camcorder, the Elite HD accepts an incoming HD-SDI video signal with up to eight channels of embedded audio and uses J2K to record at data rates up to 100 Mbs. Video is stored to an off-the-shelf, hot-swappable 2.5-inch SATA drive, which provides up to 10 times more storage at a greatly reduced cost. In addition, the Elite HD enables streamlined, file-based workflows with its modular design, which can be easily detached from the camcorder and connected directly to a nonlinear editing system via USB cable.

"Once again, FFV has shown its industry leadership by delivering a camera-mounted HD-SDI recording and playback system that solves the dual problems of quality and high storage media costs," says Mark Playdon, sales director of Fast Forward Video. "Unlike any other available solution, the Elite HD harnesses the power of J2K, which provides compression within each frame of recorded output, for the high-quality video that HD broadcasters and their viewers have come to expect."

The Elite HD supports all HD-SDI camcorders and other video sources with compatible rates, including the Iconix HR-1; Canon XL H1 and G1; Sony F900, XDCAM HD, and XDCAM EX; JVC GY-HD250; Panasonic GP-US932; and Toshiba IK-HD1. The Elite HD also works with any HD-SDI switcher with a compatible output format, making it ideal for recording live events.
