S.two Announces European release of Take2T82 - a Second Generation Digital Film Recorder (11/9/2006)

S.two Corporation announces it will exhibit the Take2_ Second Generation Digital Film Recorder at this week's IBC Convention in Amsterdam.

"Take2T82; supplements the award-winning S.two DFR which has been broadly adopted around the world for digital film capture with the D.MAG Digital Film Magazine System," comments Chris Romine, S.two President.

Romine continues, "Take2T82; represents the application of superior D.MAG robustness to evolving technologies - allowing a considerable reduction in size and weight. The new model marks another step forward for recording uncompressed DPX images in the field and adds a new level of portability to digital film capture. Because it accepts 24 V DC power, Take2T82; can be used anywhere, even on moving platforms or handheld which makes it ideal for 'run and gun' style productions." A complete digital film solution, Take2T82; offers a full set of dual-link HD inputs and outputs and a variety of monitoring ports. Able to view live or recorded images with user-supplied lookup tables (LUTs) onto virtually any monitor, provide frame grabs to attached portable computers, and track important metadata associated with the shoot (including the S.two Autoslate system) the Take2T82; meets virtually any requirement in the field.

Take2T82; features the new D.MAG2 Digital Film Magazines which are less than half the size and weight of the standard D.MAG. The new D.MAG2 magazines record 24 minutes of uncompressed DPX files at 24FPS. An adapter is available for using the D.MAG2 in existing D.MAG system components such as A.DOCK and F.DOCK, or even the DFR - protecting the investment of users around the world. The DFR continues as the workhorse for the industry, offering longer loads and more connectivity features over the new Take2T82;, states Romine. "Take2T82; has been developed in response to user requests for a smaller, lighter unit for capture in the field - increased portability was the goal. However, being committed to protecting our existing customers' capital investments, compatibility with existing DFR and D.MAG system components such as our family of docking stations was an important priority."
