The nanoFlash is a portable HD/SD recorder/player designed to mount on a camcorder. It is also suited for use in a studio environment. The nanoFlash is designed to record higher quality images than the camera itself, using the camera's uncompressed 4:2:2 HD-SDI or HDMI output.

NanoFlash allows recording in native Quicktime or native MXF (software also included to convert formats). The nanoFlash records to low-cost, highly re-usable, CompactFlash cards from many manufacturers; Transcend, SanDisk, Lexar and others. The nanoFlash uses the high quality Sony XDCAM HD 422 CODEC and has selectable Bit-Rates from 18 to 280 Mbps. Enjoy tapeless workflow (affordable Compact Flash) with Universal NLE Support (QT, MXF and MPG). nanoFlash is super-small, lightweight, low-power and has loads of cool record / playback options.

Convergent Design nano3D builds upon the success of the nanoFlash, adding 3D recording and playback with pixel-synced (pixel-locked) playback. Instantaneous playback on set can be to a professional 3D monitor or, if desired, to a large-screen consumer 3D television.

This is possible since the nano3D incorporates built-in 3D combiner/processor functionality; a feature available in separate boxes from other manufacturers for thousands of dollars.

Instantaneous playback in 3D via the low-cost Convergent Design nano3D will greatly enhance 3D productions.

The nano3D consists of:

• 2 x Convergent Design nanoFlashes
• Remote Control Cable with Tally Light
• Remote Control Y-Cable so one Remote Control controls two nanoFlashes
• 9" HDMI Cable (Type C (Mini) to Type C)
• Y-Power Cable
• 18" D-Tap Cable
• nano3D Bracket
• Heavy-duty Power Supply
• Special nano3D firmware installed in one nanoFlash.

The nano3D Upgrade Kit includes all of the above, except that only one nanoFlash is included.

Convergent Design announced the newest member of their recorder series: Gemini RAW. This fifth generation design supports 4K RAW recording with live-preview and playback to a 4K monitor. Gemini RAW includes many industry leading, one-of-a-kind features, such as four camera recording / quad-split playback (in HD), AVID DNxHD™ CODEC (RGB and YCC), uncompressed RGB 444, stereo 3D, simultaneous recording of RAW/Dailies, and 120fps support (in 2K/HD).

Gemini RAW is a solutions-based recorder for digital cinema and multi-camera productions. It offers all the features of its' award-winning 4:4:4 counterpart, with significantly greater processing power, while retaining the same size, power, and weight. A key feature of Gemini RAW is the six programmable 3G-SDI ports which can be configured as 4-In/2-Out or 2-In/4-Out. This innovative capability enables many unique configurations such as quad-input record /quad-split display or single-stream 4K RAW recording /4K monitoring. Furthermore, multiple stereo 3D output options include luma differencing, side-by-side, and anaglyph, among others.

Gemini RAW offers a future-proof solution that allows recording in high-quality HD (in DNxHD-220) and simultaneously in RAW / uncompressed. You can use the DNxHD footage for fast turnaround projects while archiving the RAW for future, higher-resolution / higher-quality productions. Alternatively, if your project requires RAW today, simply record RAW and DNxHD-36 proxy (for your dailies/offline work). Either workflow simplifies post-production while protecting your digital assets for future revenue streams.
