Sound Devices exhibits the new PIX 260, PIX-DOCK, and the latest PIX version 2.0
19.04.2012

Sound Devices unveiled its new PIX 260 video recorder at NAB 2012. The rack-mounted PIX 260 is a file-based video recorder/player that seamlessly replaces tape-based video decks in production and post-production environments. Using the Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD codecs, the PIX 260 records and plays files up to 220 Mbps in high-quality 10-bit 4:2:2 video as well as 32 tracks of 48 kHz audio. Files from the PIX 260 are ready for direct import into Avid and Final Cut editing environments. The PIX 260 has extensive audio connectivity. With up to 32 track record/playback capability, the PIX 260 accepts eight channels of line-level analog I/O, eight channels of AES digital, 16 channels of embedded SDI, 8 channels of HDMI, and 32 tracks of audio over Ethernet using Audinate's Dante. The new PIX DOCK connects drives mounted in a Sound Devices PIX CADDY to computers equipped with Thunderbolt high-speed I/O. Over a single Thunderbolt cable providing both power and data, the PIX DOCK offers fast transfer speeds between drives and computers. Thunderbolt offers up to 10 Gbps interconnection speeds, making file copying of large capacity drives fast and easy. The company also introduced PIX firmware version 2.0 enabling users to monitor images in varying exposures through Exposure Assist, a feature that allows for false-color and zebra-stripes viewing. It is also equipped with Focus Assist, which includes a peaking filter and 1:1 pixel zoom. Monitor brightness, contrast and chroma adjustments are also available. Version 2 of PIX 220 and PIX 240 also includes standard definition recording (NTSC and PAL) and support for using simultaneous analog and SDI/HDMI audio inputs. These new features are available as a free firmware update to all PIX recorder users (more). [source]
