Cinedeck has shipped Cinedeck RX, the latest addition to the Cinedeck product family. Cinedeck RX is a new, rack-mountable, solid-state recording, monitoring and playback system, that delivers tapeless workflow to studios, post-production facilities and broadcasters covering the wide range of cinema production, sporting, music, theatrical and entertainment events in both 2D and 3D stereoscopic formats.
One of the first customers to install Cinedeck RX is outside broadcast service company All Mobile Video in New York, which is integrating multiple Cinedeck RX systems into its fleet of OB vehicles and in-house post-production facility.
Cinedeck RX delivers tapeless recording, monitoring and playback workflows to broadcasters and mobile OBs
All Mobile Video works with a diverse client base that includes multi-camera televised sports, music, entertainment events, plus cinema and corporate production. They consider Cinedeck RX to be the best-suited system to handle their different capture and post requirements in one box, according to Eric Duke, the President of the company. He says the Cinedeck RX saves time and money on ingest into post, allowing more competitive all-in pricing.
Cinedeck RX is the next generation of the platform pioneered by Cinedeck EX, the company’s portable, multi-format, HD-SDI recording system. Cinedeck RX also meets the demands of broadcasters, whether they are in a facility or mobile. It offers unsurpassed native capture and codec choice, flexible connectivity and editorial workflow options, a small physical footprint, plus ground-breaking versatility on 2D/3D stereo and multi-camera shoots.
Cinedeck RX uses the same touchscreen interface as the Cinedeck EX. It captures from all leading production formats, recording onto cost-effective SSD storage media, and can be used for single input, dual-input two camera, or 3D stereo shoots. Cinedeck offers simultaneous native support for Avid and Apple standards, JFIF for proxies, all Apple ProRes codec formats, including 4444, CineForm and uncompressed 444 (10-bit) or 422 (8- or 10-bit).
It has a unique “Double Dual-Stream” feature that allows to capture two feeds at a time with the same codec, or to capture one feed with two different compression formats — such as Avid DNxHD and Apple ProRes together, or Hi-Res master and Low-Res proxy together — while simultaneously creating back-up copies of each.
The Cinedeck RX has a high-resolution, 7″ touchscreen display for monitoring. It provides users with a comprehensive array of image analysis tools, including edge enhancement for focus assist, clipping, waveform, vectorscope and histogram. Users can also monitor audio via the headphone jack, and toggle between audio inputs — while simultaneously viewing the on-screen, pro-audio standard, recording level display.
Finally, the Cinedeck RX enables users to review shots instantly in realtime, and in any order, via the built-in display, or external HD-SDI or HDMI monitors, allowing them to instantly QC and know they have captured the shots they want.
Cinedeck RX is available now for purchase via resellers worldwide starting at 14,995.00 USD.
