GVS-Grande Vitesse Systems Demonstrates Flypack 9000 dual-head digital video recorder (4/5/2007)

GVS-Grande Vitesse Systems Inc. will be demonstrating the latest Flypack 9000 dual DVCPro, SD, HD and 2K video processor at NAB 2007 in Las Vegas.

The Flypack 9000 connects to camera via HD-SDI dual link or optional optical fiber cable to create a convenient, portable full-bandwidth 4:4:4 (RGB) image capturing system with TC, LTC, Genlock, RS422, RS232 support. The 9000 can also be configured with the VIPER or HDWF900 HDCAM camcorder to record HD 4:2:2 component images. The Flypack 9000 processor unit provides a variety of video-processing functions and houses an array of input and output connectors, including HD/SD signals, 8 channels of digital audio, and 8 channels of analog audio.

Functions include 2-3 pull-down insertions for 525 down conversion, and RGB 4:4:4 to Y/Pb/Pr 4:2:2 color space conversion. The system is capable of operating in a number of recording modes:

¥ SD (standard definition) providing 4:2:2 uncompressed as well as DV QT files, at the same time in both 4:4:4 or 4:2:2
¥ HD (High Definition) mode allowing for one high definition uncompressed recording while it simultaneously creates identical footage
¥ DVCPro HD with an uncompression ratio in full band RGB 4:4:4
¥ and a mode where two separate 4:2:2 HD SDI inputs can be recorded simultaneously to the same storage RAID.

This provides an efficient means of recording stereo full bandwidth 4:2:2 images for 3D productions. Each stereo channel is recorded at full, uncompressed media with the benefits of full error correction to both channels.

Designed to fit seamlessly into a high-resolution production workflow, the Flypack 9000 offers a Virtual Tape capability that allows users to incrementally move to a digital disk based workflow. With this digital disk based technology, the Flypack 9000 provides a single flexible platform for all your content production from live and post- production applications.
