The Cinedeck MX is a rack-mountable, solid-state recording, monitoring, and playback system designed to maximize file-based production and post workflows. It supports native codec capture diversity to eliminate time-consuming ingest and transcode processes, multiple encodes per input channel, and flexible connectivity and editorial workflow options. Plus it features a small footprint. It also offers versatility on multi-camera, 2D/3D stereo projects. The interface is an intuitive touchscreen with familiar manual controls, allowing for reduced training time and speeding deployment.
Cinedeck MX provides costs savings over the purchase and installation of traditional tapedecks and other ancillary equipment typically used in machine rooms. Occupying 4RU of rack-space, a single Cinedeck MX can be easily configured to undertake the tasks of two tapedecks, reducing spend on equipment and saving physical space and transportation costs.
Offering a wide variety of codecs, multiple real-time codec delivery options, plus real-time up/down/cross conversion capabilities, Cinedeck eliminates time-consuming and costly transcoding processes. As material is delivered to post production in the appropriate ready-to-edit codec, or direct to a playout server in a transmission-ready format, Cinedeck MX slashes the time and cost of getting material from production to post to air. Cinedeck MX has in-built waveform, vectorscope, histogram monitoring, and focus tools, doing away with expenditure on supplementary devices. It also consumes minimal power.
