Speedy, Intelligent, Easy Operation
Portable Recording that Embodies Nonlinear Recording/Editing

The EditcamStation (DNE-11) is a broadcast-quality portable disk recorder, employing a hard disk drive as its recording medium. It boasts cutting edge nonlinear technology and can serve as a direct replacement for a broadcast VTR. Operating efficiency is greatly improved through random access clip navigation. The EditcamStation video inputs and outputs include composite, component and SDI to facilitate interfacing with your existing equipment. The recorder can use two FieldPaks, the same highly-modified 4Gbyte hard drives employed by the Editcam'camera/recorder. For longer recording applications, the EditcamStation can record directly to  the Media Drive on an Avid MediaComposer or to an array of drives installed in an Avid Media Dock. Up to eight 18Gbyte hard drives can be daisy-chained in the Media Dock to permit enormous amounts of high quality video to be recorded. Any  of these recording methods eliminate the digitizing process and allow you to edit video clips immediately.

• Instant Preview Through Random Access
  Editcam automatically assigns clip numbers to recorded scenes. Selecting a clip number allows the playback of that clip instantly. eliminating the need for shuttling forward or reverse as with a VTR.

• Non-Linear Editing
  Imagine being able to rough cut a series of clips in the field, before you get back to the edit suite. The EditcamStation is essentially a portable nonlinear field editor. Clips can be easily trimmed and re-arranged by connecting the EditcamStation to the Remote User Interface (RUI) via a  laptop computer (PC with Windows 95 required). Many versions of the resulting sequential play list can be loaded  to the nonlinear editor for adding graphics or effects. Compatible models of Avid Nonlinear editors include the MediaComposer, Avid Express and NewsCutter.

Switchable Record Quality between High-Quality Online Resolution and Extended Record Mode

• Online (AVR-70B/AVR-70BH)
  In the high quality online mode, approximately 30 minutes of record time can be accommodated on one FieldPak.

• Off line (AVR-4S)
  In the higher compression, lower resolution mode. longer record times can be achieved. This mode is ideal for film taps or surveillance video.

On-the-Fly-Playback

• Direct interface with Editcae FieldPak
  The EditcamStation can use the same recording medium used by the Editcae Disk Camera. This footage is available for editing, on-air-playback. duplication, and more.

• The Ideal Back-Up Recorder
  Recorded cuts can be immediately checked through random access. By cutting and pasting clips in a sequence, rough-cuts can be accomplished in the field.   The EditcamStation is perfectly suited as a back-up machine for emergency on-air applications.

Copy Functions

• Data Transfer to an External Hard Disk Drive
  Through SCSI interface, the EditcamStation can record directly to the media drives of a MediaComposer, Avid Express or NewsCutter. Up to eight 18Gbyte drives can be housed in an Avid Media Dock to provide enormous amounts of storage.

• Copying One FieldPak to Another
  The EditcamStation has the ability to move clips from one FieldPak to another. This allows for the consolidation of files and immediately frees FieldPaks for use elsewhere.

• Complete Compatibility with any VTR
  Files can be copied from the EditcamStation to any recorder through a number of format outputs.

Completes Integration to Existing Systems

• D1 input/output
  In addition to analog composite, the EditcamStation includes D1 digital component inputs and outputs. This ensures a seamless fit in even the highest quality NTSC system

  Input:	Composite	BNC x1
  	SDI	BNC x1
  	Component	26-pin VTR x 1
  Output:	PGM Video (Composite)	BNC x2
  	PVW Video (Composite)	BNC x2
  	SDI	BNC x2

• External Remote Control Through RS-422 Serial Interface
  The EditcamStation will accept commands from most editors and behave as a VTR in an edit system (some functions may not be available. depending on the controller used).

Space Saving

• The EditcamStation fits in a half rack width and is powered by 12volts DC. It is perfectly suited for space-sensitive applications, like mobile production vans.

• Remote Control via Laptop Computer
  A laptop operating an Windows 95 can control the EditcamStation through the Remote User Interface (RUI). This allows for in-the-field nonlinear editing in an extremely compact package.
