I hadn’t yet heard of the Cinedeck EXTREME, but it looks to be a fairly cool and useful tool. There’s a press release over at Broadcast Newsroom which talks about a documentary shot by Evolve IMG Films in which the Cinedeck was used. The Cinedeck is an external recording device that has a 7″ “high res” preview/focus/playback monitor. It boasts an internal solid-state hard disk, and accepts HDMI, HD-SDI, and LAN camera inputs. According to the press release, Evolve IMG used it to record from both their Alexa and a Canon 5D. It stores recorded video as Uncomressed 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 HD, Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHD, or CineForm DI files. You can find more information on the Cinedeck Here (all-flash somewhat non-intuitive website… bleh), and the Broadcast Newsroom article here.
