Digital Video Assist Systems for the Motion Picture Industry

 
Cinecorder NX Digital Video-Assist System 
The Cinecorder NX Digital Video-Assist System is our "journeyman" system for every-day use.  It's convenient size and intelligent package design makes the system ideal for most film projects.
The Cinecorder NX uses a specialized miniature computer housing modified for the requirements of video assist. Even though it's small in size it is no lightweight in terms of features.  The system can be fitted with the fastest Pentium III processors and enough storage to record 45 hours of video assist footage.*  The system is available either as a standalone computer or housed inside this rugged convenient transport-case.  All Cinecorders feature  hard-wired BNC video connectors and audio connectors.

The Cinecorder NX runs on standard AC power but can be equipped with a specialized internal Dual-DC power supply to use the system with 12 V lead-acid gell-cell batteries.  Or, if you are connected to both AC and a battery at the same time, the battery will instantly take-over if AC is lost.  This is much better than using a standard uninterruptible power supply because the system can work indefinitely on your batteries.

The Cinecorder NX holds two internal Harddrives, one for the operating system and one for video storage. Equipped with a 25 GB IDE-Harddisc the standard system can hold up to ~12 hours of video (and up to 16 hours with the optional 37.5gb hard drive). 

*Configurations with the DC supply allow you to use up to four internal hard drives, or three internals and one removable cartridge drive.
