Wafian Unveils Field DVRs

"At NAB2007, Wafian will introduce the HR-1-P and the HR-2 direct-to-disk video recorders.

According to the company, the Wafian HR-1-P is the world's first portable direct-to-disk field 1920x1080, 10-bit 4:2:2 HDSDI video recorder using the CineForm Intermediate format. The unit's base configuration can record over 10 hours (at 160 Mbps) of master quality footage. Its hot-swappable media drive allows for an optional 160 GB solid state disk that can hold more than two hours of video.

The Wafian HR-2 is a 10-bit 4:4:4 dual-link video recorder for digital film acquisition. The HR-2 records into CineForm 444 format at 360 Mbps.

All of Wafian's direct-to-disk HD video recorders (HR-1, HR-1-P, and HR-2) lower the cost of HD acquisition by recording master quality footage in directly editable CineForm Intermediate format, providing efficient nonlinear tapeless workflows. Recorded clips are stored in .MOV or .AVI file wrappers and are immediately viewable on Mac (Intel-based) and Windows computers."
