DVC announces CineRAM 422 for Single-Link HD-SDI Digital Cinematography

Digitalvideo Computing (DVC), the European Distributor for Baytech Cinema has announced the availability of Baytech's CineRAM 422 recorder in Europe.
CineRAM 422 allows Varicam and other single-link HD-SDI camera users to easily and cost effectively capture uncompressed image data to computer-based storage bypassing the need for expensive custom real-time disk recorders.
In addition, CineRAM 422 provides a host of functions including immediate shot review, frame rate conversion, and test pattern signal generation. This unique feature set makes CineRAM 422 the most cost-effective and flexible uncompressed HD digital cinematography recording solution on the market. Previously, CineRAM was only available with the dual-link 4:4:4 interface used by ultra-high-end Thomson Viper and Sony F-950 cameras.
"There are some critical applications like effects, composites, green screen and production for large format projection where uncompressed acquisition is a huge advantage. The cleaner the image is to start out with, the better picture you can make, and there is obviously nothing better than uncompressed,” said Steve Mahrer, director of engineering, Panasonic Broadcast & TV Systems.
“We are very pleased that Baytech decided to bring out a single-link version of their revolutionary CineRAM recorder. CineRAM 422 gives professionals a very cost effective way to enhance the remarkable quality of the VariCam by utilizing fully uncompressed recordings. CineRAM was cleverly designed with the inherent ability to recognize the VariCam’s flagged camera frames. In addition to being able to provide instant reviews of the last shot, the flagged frame extraction capability means CineRAM can also provide invaluable field previews of time lapse sequences and ‘off-speed’ effects shots.”
At about five pounds, CineRAM 422 is small enough to be mounted to the camera, carried in a camera bag or attached to a Steadycam, boom or dolly. CineRAM is entirely solid state making it well suited for the harshest environments. On the set, multiple CineRAMs can be networked with image archive servers. In the field, CineRAM can be connected directly to a laptop and images can be uploaded onto portable Firewire drives.
