The nanoFLASH can be used for instant on site backups, or to record a clean Standard Definition copy during a HD shoot... no down converting hassles in post production.

The nanoFLASH can also record in a DVD ready format to make a "window dub" that can play in your standard DVD player.

Sony EX-3, Letus Ultimate DOF adapter and nanoFLASH HD SDI Recorder

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:07:05 -0600

Using the best large aperture Nikon prime lenses with the Letus "Ultimate" Depth of Field adapter I offer the capability to produce beautiful filmic television stories. With keenly selective focus, the detailed but not "brittle" picture of HD and the wonderful rendering of the EX-3 this setup is ideal for intimate interviews and image campaigns. Add to that, the high data rate nanoFLASH recorder for optimum results.

Here is a link to a "spec spot" I did in support of Natural Gas as an alternative fuel in the United States. This shows what is possible with the Letus for general subjects.

Convergent Designs nanoFLASH... an HD "Swiss Army Knife"

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:03:12 -0600

Records in:

Native Quicktime for Final Cut Pro

Native MXF for Avid, Sony Vegas, Edius, others

MPG Format in SD for quick same day creation of DVD's

MPG Format in HD - Realtime Rendering of Blu-Ray disks

No Mandatory Transcoding - Drag and Drop Editing

Extremely Low-Noise Images - Master Quality Modes are Visually Indistinguishable from Uncompressed

Improves the image quality of most cameras as the HD/SD-SDI and HDMI outputs are before the compression stages.
Many cameras only record highly compressed 4:2:0 while outputing 4:2:2 over HD-SDI or HDMI.
The nanoFlash uses these high-quality uncompressed 4:2:2 images to produce higher quality recordings.

The nanoFlash offers a dramatically better image, free from motion artifacts and other image problems, such as mosquito noise. Typically the nanoFlash offers a better image, even from many high-end cameras.

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:01:47 -0600

Record DVCPRO-HD (to tape) and/ or MOV or MXF compliant files (to CF cards and delivered on a hard drive ready to edit). The nanoFLASH can be set to record above the standard XDCAM data rate of 50Mbps... 100Mbps is the sweet spot for quality versus size... amazing results in every situation. For Final Cut users ready to edit .MOV files are generated, for Avid users ready to edit MXF files. If you require true full raster 1920X1080 then the Sony EX 3 with the Nanoflash is recommended. See the EX-3 pages for more information.
