Convergent Design Complete nano3D Recorder Kit

• Records Isolated “Left Eye” and “Right Eye” , or if desired, records combined “Side by Side” or “Line by Line” 3D footage.

• Isolated Recordings start on the same frame, Playback is in “Pixel Sync”. Two Isolated HD-SDI outputs are provided for Live View, while Recording or Playback. Single HD-SDI output for combined images (when selected via a menu option).

• Works with both Professional and Consumer 3D Monitors. Consumer Monitors will require an HD-SDI to HDMI converter, such as an AJA Hi5 3G.

• Records up to 280 Mbps, I-Frame Only for very high quality recordings. I-Frame only 4:2:2 at 100, 140, 180, 220, or 280 Megabits per second (Mbps). (Long-GOP for non-3D work, 4:2:0 at 18 and 35 Mbps, 4:2:2 at 50, 80, 100, 140, and 180 Mbps.)

• Image Combine Function supported for on-set viewing, in Live, while Recording or during Playback. “Side by Side” and “Line by Line” supported.

• Image Offset supported in Live, while Recording or during Playback. (Currently 0 to 512 pixel offset (max) in 4 pixel increments)

• Records up to 16 Channels of Isolated 24-Bit, 48K audio, if embedded in the HD-SDI input stream, audio embedders may be used. Records up to 4 Channels of unbalanced 24-Bit, 48K mic/line analog audio. Records up to 2 Channels of balanced 24-Bit, 48K mic/line analog audio.

• Uses low cost CompactFlash media, currently up to 64 GB, will work with 128 GB CompactFlash cards when available.

• Includes Image Flip (Vertical), Image Flop (Horizontal) and both, for Live View and Recording. Recordings will be in proper format and before Recording.

• In 2D Mode, the nano3D can record the signal from one camera with full redundancy or one can record for both On-Line and Off-Line editing, High Bit-Rate and low Bit-Rate Proxy modes simultaneously.

• nano3D works with almost all HD-SDI or HDMI equipped cameras that have a clean output. HD-SDI cameras are typically preferred. With HDMI cameras, playback requires a simple cable change.
• Genlocked cameras are recommended for 3D work. Alternatives to “Genlock” for certain HDMI cameras may also work.
• The nano3D supports Long-GOP and I-Frame Only; for 3D work, I-Frame Only is recommended.
• Frame Only Bit-Rates supported are 100, 140, 180, 220 and 280 Megabits per second (Mbps), all recorded in 4:2:2.
• The nano3D can be quickly split into two separate nanoFlashes for non-3D work, by removing four screws.
• Long-GOP HD Bit-Rates for non-3D work are 18 and 35 Mbps in 4:2:0, and 50, 80, 100, 140 and 180 Mbps in 4:2:2.
• Frame Rates supported: 1080p23.976, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60. and 720p23.976, 720p24, 720p25, 720p29.97, 720p30, 720p50, 720p59.94, 720p60. Note: the nano3D, in 720p under 50 frames per second, does not currently support playback from the unit itself.
• Menu Options are available for conversion of Progressive Segmented Frames (PSF) to True Progressive, as well as removal of pulldown frames. This includes removal of 3:2 pulldown, 2:2 pulldown, and others.
• Image Flip (Vertical) and Image Flop (Horizontal) and Both are supported. Image Flip and Flop occur before recording and the monitor out signals are Flipped and Flopped, as appropriate.
• Side by Side 3D and Line by Line Image Combining is supported, no separate processor is needed. 3D Image Processing is provided in the nano3D. This includes the Flip/Flop and the combining functions as well as image offset functions so that Live View and Playback may be analyzed on-set.
• The nano3D is light weight (under two pounds), low power (under 12 watts), and camera mountable.
• Monitoring is via two HD-SDI outputs for professional 3D monitors, or via a HD-SDI to HDMI converter for consumer 3D televisions. The AJA Hi-5 3G is recommended , which is typically located near the television, so that a single, low cost, HD-SDI cable can be used for the run to the video village.
• Up to 8 Channels of 24-Bit/48K audio (per “Eye”) are supported via audio embedded in the HD-SDI signal or up to 2 channels (per “Eye”) of mic/line analog audio via a 3.5mm mini-jack. Thus, up to 16 isolated audio channels can be recorded. Mixer Tape Output can be used, if desired.
• nano3D records in native Quicktime for Final Cut Pro and native MXF for Avid, Sony Vegas, Edius, Adobe CS3/4/5, etc.
• nano3D includes two nanoFlashes, Remote Control with Tally Light, heavy duty AC Power Supply, P-Tap Power Cable, two HD-SDI cables, Y-Power Cable, Y-Cable for Remote Control, and special hinged Bracket to hold the two nanoFlashes.
