nNovia Launch QC Deck and QC100-R at NAB

nNovia will be showcasing the latest additions to their Digital Video Recorder (DVR) range on stand SU216 at NAB 2006.
Being launched at NAB are the Quick Capture (QC) Deck, featuring removable 'MediaPac' cartridge drives from Audavi, and the rack-mountable version, the QC100-R.
Both units are compatible with Hitachi’s Z-DR1 dockable recorder, as well as nNovia’s QuickCapture line of DVRs.
The QC100-R boasts a small footprint – two units fit into one standard rack, 2U tall – and the 12V DC power supply means it can be used both in the studio and on location. It also has extensive professional I/O: component in; VBS in and out; SDI in and out; balanced XLR audio in and out, black-burst input and SMPTE timecode in and out. Video can easily be converted to MXF, AVI and MOV file formats for editing.
“Not only are these new products perfectly suited to the rigours of professional news gathering,” said Larry Aubry, CEO of nNovia. "They are great products for educational institutions too."
“Both the QC Deck and the QC100-R have a new feature that allows the user to partition a portion of the disk as a conventional HDD drive. In a classroom environment for example, each student could have his or her own cartridge but share the camera and the QC or Z-DR1. The student can then use the cartridge to store the raw footage in the main, VTR-mode partition and store their editing project on the second, HDD partition.
“This hybrid functionality can also be used in a corporate environment, where the finished product can be supplied on one partition and the raw footage on other, to facilitate amendments at a later date," added Aubry.
nNovia’s main product line is the QC range of direct-to-disk recorders, of which the QCA2D is the only recorder that has a built in A-D converter - ideal for analogue studios wanting to get more life from their existing analogue camcorders.
