Video Devices PIX 270i Video Deck with 1TB Drive/Storage – Used

Up to five available.

Description

The PIX 270i is a cost-effective, file-based video deck with an audio-only mode, designed for fast-paced studio, live event, and mobile productions. Its feature-rich expandability makes it an ideal AV solution for large-scale, multi-cam workflows or double-system sound applications. Whether used for capturing multiple camera ISO feeds at a sports stadium or recording numerous audio tracks at a live concert, its half-rack, 2U size makes it the perfect alternative to bulkier, complex video servers.

Compact, Scalable System

With its network connectivity and built-in multi-unit synchronization, PIX 270i recorders can be interconnected over Ethernet for simultaneous, frame-accurate recording and playback. Any number of units can be grouped and controlled as a single system from either the hardware or from the built-in web based control panel.

Trusted Reliability

With live events, there is no second chance to capture the moment. The PIX 270i records, simultaneously or sequentially, on up to four removable solid state drives for instant deliverables and backups. Files from PIX 270i are ready for input directly into popular editing programs including Avid, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro.  With PowerSafe and FileSafe technology, vital recordings are further protected in the event of inadvertent power loss or drive removal.

Superior Accuracy

Ensure video and audio synchronization with the PIX 270i’s input delay functionality and comprehensive Ambient timecode generator/reader. Also, with the deck’s builtin video monitor (a 5-inch IPS color display), you can be confident the signal arriving at the device is 100% accurate.
